E-way diversions for VP & governor visit to Noida
Noida: Traffic movement was briefly halted on the Noida Expressway to facilitate vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar's visit to Amity University. The vice president entered the city via the DND flyway and the expressway around 11am and returned a little after noon.
Traffic movement was restricted at the flyway and expressway both times for around 10-15 minutes.
The vice president was visiting Amity University to inaugurate the Association of Indian Universities' Annual Meet & National Conference of Vice Chancellors. "The traffic movement resumed once the cavalcade passed," said DCP (traffic) Lakhan Singh Yadav.
Police teams were deployed along the route to block the entry of traffic from the sector's internal road to DND and the expressway during the VIP movement.
Meanwhile, state governor Anandiben Patel visited A P J Abdul Kalam University's Noida campus in Sector 62 to attend a programme at 10am on Monday. Traffic police placed restrictions in Sector 62, which led to snarls there.
Later, the governor took Noida elevated road and Noida Expressway to attend another programme there. For this, traffic police had to stop traffic movement yet again near the Film City area. A long queue could be seen on the road extending till the Chilla border.
