New Delhi: Ahead of the planned farmers' protest at Delhi borders on February 13, the Delhi Airport urged the flyers to use the Airport Metro or the Magenta Line to ensure timely travel to Terminal 3 and Terminal 1, respectively. 

In view of the barricades and barbed wires that have been put up as part of security measures at the Singhu border (Delhi-Haryana) ahead of the protest march, the airport authority advised passengers to be on alert about diversions and route restrictions in their advisory. 

The farmer leaders held a crucial meeting with Union ministers on Monday night ended without a resolution, prompting farmers to press ahead with their 'Delhi Chalo' protest today. Several farmer associations, mostly from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab, have called for the march on February 13 to demand a law guaranteeing MSP for their produce. 

In view of the tight security arrangements at Delhi borders to restrict their movement to capital territory, the Delhi Police too issued a traffic advisory to inform commuters about restrictions on the movement of vehicles at the three borders of the national capital.
