Traffic moved at snail’s pace and commuters took to social media to complain about the situation.
While some claimed that they were stuck on roads for more than two hours, others advised to take the Metro to avoid the mess. One user wondered why the Noida authority did not stop the farmers from entering Noida itself to avoid the chaos.
