Traffic in Delhi and NCR is expected to see some major hiccups today. Delhi Traffic Police issues fresh advisory on road closures as it expects agitation against the Agnipath recruitment scheme and Congress protest.

Protests are going on across the country regarding the new recruitment scheme 'Agneepath' in the army. The opposition to this new scheme of the central government has been seen the most in Bihar.

On the withdrawal of agricultural laws, he said that farmers have seen the way to Delhi and four lakh tractors are ready. There is a need for a big movement on this issue in the country. In view of the large number of tractor journeys towards Delhi, all the borders of Delhi can be sealed.
