The traffic on Mathura Road remained affected for over three hours on Saturday as agitating farmers carried a rally demanding more compensation to their land.

The rally started from Ballabgarh around 11 this morning reached Ajrondha Chowk in Faridabad around 2 p.m., there by affecting traffic on the busy National Highway number 2.

The state government had acquired land from these farmers a few years ago for setting up of an industrial model township in Ballabgarh.

But the agitating farmers said they felt cheated with the compensation amount given to them.
