Farmers living on both sides of Yamuna Expressway on Thursday wrote to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav demanding that the expressway not be opened till the service road parallel to it is developed for connectivity to villages.

“Our main demand is that the service road along Yamuna Expressway should be constructed from Greater Noida till Agra. Till the service road is completed, the expressway should not be opened,” Virendra Dhada, Convenor of Rashtriya Kisan Union, told PTI.
