Arun Singh from Uttarakhand, on his way to visit his ailing father at a hospital here, was feeling helpless after being stuck for hours in heavy traffic at the Ghazipur border.
"I'm travelling from Uttarakhand to meet my 78-year-old father who has been admitted in the Lok Nayak Hospital... My family and I have been struck here since 11 am. It is an extremely frustrating situation for us and we feel angry and helpless," Singh said.
Like Singh, hundreds of commuters are stuck at the Ghazipur border which has been fortified with barbed wires, dumpers loaded with sand, and iron spikes to stop protesting farmers from entering the national capital.
Families travelling with kids are distressed as children are becoming restless without food and water. Besides, women commuters are facing difficulty in looking for public restrooms amid the heavy traffic.
Kanika, another commuter at the border, is tense that she would miss her flight.
