Update on the quick road trip Delhi - Beas (near Amritsar) - Delhi (820 kms) on 14-Apr-2021 by Rohit Mendiratta (www.facebook.com/rmendiratta) in his own words.
Started from Delhi (Shalimar Bagh) at 5.30am and were back by 8.15pm (same day) after completing the personal work at Beas. 4 gents in a Ford Endeavor, 3 gents drove.
Less Traffic on highway due to Covid.
Strict checking of masks by HR & PB police, specially for outstation vehicles - at barriers and crossings. We were in a DL registered vehicle.
Absolutely no toll on the entire route, thanks to the Farmers Agitation.
Speed Cameras in place at few places including the mobile ones.
Delhi border (Singhu) remains closed, the temporary structures by farmers are there, but less farmers. We used the interior roads to bypass the border, which was easier in early morning, but was a bit messy in the evening. Directions by Google Maps for this interior roads is not very accurate, as it led us to a dead end, but being early morning, we were able to find alternate road quickly. So, don't trust Google Maps blindly, use your instincts and ask the locals.
