Buses near Mahamaya flyover were stopped by DCP Zone 1 Sankalp Sharma and ADCP Rannvijay Singh seeking information about the drivers and their papers. But, the Congressmen stuck to the Greater Noida Expo Mart carrying buses. This was fiercely debated on both sides. Meanwhile, the police officers called ARTO and his team on the spot and started checking the vehicles, then the Congressmen started shouting slogans. Congress state general secretary Virendra Guddu said that about 100 buses were stopped on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway near Sector-125, while some buses were parked at Sector-39 police station.

DCP Zone Sankalp Sharma said that ARTO has been asked to investigate the buses available by Congressmen. There were about thirty buses on the spot, officials of the Transport Department are investigating them. Will take further decision only after investigation.

ARTO of Gautam Budh Nagar AK Pandey said that we stood at the Greater Noida Expo Mart throughout the day, but not a single Congress bus arrived here. Some buses were reported to be on the expressway. It is being investigated.
