Ghaziabad: Score of trucks were stranded on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) since Wednesday night after they were unable to exit towards Ghaziabad and Meerut due to Kanwar Yatra traffic diversions.
The traffic diversions will remain in place from July 29 to August 12. Heavy vehicles are barred from entering the city and are directed to use the NH-9 for onward travel. According to the advisory, vehicles coming toward Ghaziabad on the EPE can only exit using the Dasna interchange.
“I was coming from Bulandshahr on the EPE to reach my transport office in Sahibabad, but traffic police at the Dasna and Duhai interchanges did not allow me to exit due to Kanwar Yatra diversion,” Raj Kumar, a truck driver, told HT on Thursday.
However, the light vehicles such as cars were allowed to use the Duhai interchange.
