The Chilla border opened for Noida-Delhi traffic on Saturday evening for the first time since December 1 when farmers began a protest at the site, bringing huge relief to intercity commuters who have been taking long detours and negotiating traffic jams every day.
The protesting group, which had vacated the Delhi-Noida carriageway at the border earlier in the week, agreed to allow traffic on the Noida-Delhi lanes of Link Road following a meeting with defence minister Rajnath Singh and agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar.
The protesters will remain at the site but will restrict themselves to the central verge and a lane on the Noida-Delhi carriageway. Around 4.30pm, a delegation of Bharatiya Kisan Union-Bhanu members met the two central ministers at Rajnath’s residence and presented a list of 18 demands.
The delegation, led by the outfit’s president Thakur Bhanu Pratap Singh, specifically urged the ministers to form a farmers’ commission. Sources said the meeting went on for half an hour.
Tarun Sharma, state vice-president of BKU-Bhanu, said the decision to vacate the lanes did not mean they were calling off their protest.
“Our protest will continue in the middle of the road, where we had held the Ramayana path on Saturday. Vehicles will move from the right while our protest continues,” he added.
KP Singh Thenuan, president of the IT cell of the outfit who also attended the meeting in the evening, said they had called a meeting of their supporters on Sunday to decide on the next course of action. Farmers at Chilla are determined to continue with their protest in the December chill.
