Traffic slowed to crawl at the Capital's borders with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday as the Delhi Police began intensifying checks across the city as part of security measures for the upcoming Republic Day.

"To strengthen security measures for the upcoming Republic Day, checking is being done at various places by Delhi Police teams to curb any suspicious activities. Notify us immediately about any suspicious object or person," the Delhi Police posted on its official account on X.

Commuters travelling between Delhi and NCR cities faced a harrowing time near the borders due to security checks. "There were several delays because of slow-moving traffic near the DND Flyway. My daily one-hour commute to office took almost two hours on Wednesday," said Vipul Goyal, a resident of Sector 100 in Noida, who travels to Delhi for work.
