The Delhi-Noida Direct (DND) flyway, which connects Uttar Pradesh to the Capital, was briefly shut on Friday due to a farmers’ rally.
The flyover opened a few hours later and traffic was normalised by evening, an official said.

Tractors and trolleys
The rally, organised by Kisan Uday Abhiyan, was stopped at the DND flyover since they came with tractors and trolleys, which is not allowed inside the city, said a senior officer.
