NEW DELHI: Traffic was affected and several people were stranded in many parts of the national capital region on Tuesday as a number of BJP and VHP activists blocked roads as part of their nationwide 'chakka jam' agitation over the Amarnath land row.
Vehicular movement was badly affected here on the busy Vikas Marg, Akshardham, Deepali Chowk, Wazirpur, Moolchand and the Delhi-Jaipur Highway.
Carrying VHP flags, slogan-shouting supporters of the Sangh Parivar started assembling at various intersections at about 9 am for their two-hour nationwide road blockade stir.
Delhi BJP unit president Harsh Vardhan led the protesters at Noida More near Lakshmi Nagar in east Delhi blocking traffic on Vikas Marg.
The protest will end at 11 am. A senior police official said adequate security measures were taken in view of the protest.
VHP general secretary Pravin Togadia said the agitation programme of the VHP demanding immediate transfer of forest land to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board could culminate into a nationwide movement on the lines of 'Chalo Ayodhya'.
