NOIDA: Ahead of the nation-wide chakka-jam announced by farmer outfits on February 6, the Noida police has placed spiked barricades at both sides of the Chilla border and the DND Flyway.
Even as Chilla border became free on January 27 after 58-day long struggle, police deployment has not been withdrawn from the spot.
Although the Greater Noida police has said that farmers will not be allowed to enter Noida any more, the security arrangements including police tents have not been done away with.
Barricades with pointed spikes have been placed at both of the main Delhi-Noida borders days after the Delhi police placed iron nails, barbed fence and concrete barriers on the other borders with Delhi including Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders.
