At the Ghazipur Border, 2 lanes of NH-9 and 1 lane of NH-24 are open for public use, as well as 2 lanes of DND for commuters, as per the advisory. However, traffic movement is expected to be slow, so commuters are advised to plan their trips accordingly and avoid these areas, particularly during peak hours.

For those traveling to Haryana on NH-44 and via the Sabhapur Border, they are advised to take the service lane of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway (6 K Mandola Mussoorie- Khekra (14 KM) Expressway (19 KM)- Rai cut (NH-44)).

Regarding traffic from Ghaziabad towards Delhi, entry is permitted from Maharajpur Border near ISBT Anand Vihar via Vaishali - Kaushambi.

In related news, security measures have been heightened to prevent a farmers' march from entering Delhi, with the Singhu and Tikri borders closed. Various security measures including multi-layer barricades, concrete blocks, iron nails, and container walls have been deployed at Ghazipur, Singhu, and Tikri borders, along with a significant number of security personnel in anti-riot gear. Additionally, metal and concrete barricades have been erected at several locations in central Delhi as part of the security arrangements.
