Roads blocked due to protests!

Travelers in Delhi NCR (and possibly some other opposition ruled states) are facing a weird situation due to various protests. First there were roads blocked by people protesting CAA-NRC and now it is the farmer protests. If we go back in history there was the Jaat agitation that had impacted road and rail traffic.

As i was planning a road trip from Delhi to Rajasthan, i was told by some folks that were some traffic jams around HR-RJ borders and around Alwar due to ongoing farmers protest. There is anticipation that the situation may worsen as we come closer to the independence day. May be there are others who would be in a similar situation when driving north.

Starting this thread as a way to share info related to such road blocks and warn fellow BHPians of disruption.

Any insights from people frequenting Delhi-Jaipur on what is the latest situation and any particular areas to be avoided?

You need to avoid this stretch and pass through the village. I got stuck for about 2 hours before managing to get into the village while coming back from Jaipur. However, no such issue going to Jaipur, but you may want to keep an eye on Google Maps beforehand so that if you see a jam, you can get off the highway and go through the villages.

This article paints a pretty grim picture. If heavy vehicles have to move through interior village roads, they wont last long, especially in rains. Hope things get better soon
