The air quality in the national capital has oscillated between “very poor” and “severe” categories for the past 32 days.

The Noida Police has issued a traffic advisory detailing restrictions and diversions ahead of the farmers’ march towards the Parliament complex on Monday to press five key demands.

The farmers demand compensation and benefits, including a legal guarantee on the Minimum Support Price (MSP), under the new agricultural laws.

Bhartiya Kisan Parishad (BKP) leader Sukhbir Khalifa said the farmers will first gather under the Maha Maya flyover in Noida at noon before proceeding towards Delhi.

Anticipating the impact of the protest, Noida Police has implemented various traffic restrictions and diversions to ensure smooth commuting.
