The Supreme Court has told state governments that even if a major protest is going on, public roads cannot remain blocked for a long time, causing inconvenience to people. Hearing a plea by a woman resident of Noida seeking direction to ensure that the roads between Noida and Delhi are kept clear so that passage isn't affected, the Supreme Court said on Friday that there should be free flow of traffic on roads. The court has issued notices to Haryana and Uttar Pradesh governments and asked for a response on why the roads have remained blocked for a long time due to the protests.
