Key road connecting Noida and Faridabad reopened by Shaheen Bagh protesters

New Delhi/IBNS: A day after the Supreme Court-appointed mediators held a second round of talks with the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in Delhi's Shaheen Bagh, the key road which connects Noida and Faridabad near Delhi was reopened briefly by the agitators on Friday, media reports said.

The road has been reopened 69 days after it was barricaded by the protesters.

Senior advocates Sanjay Hegde and Sadhana Ramachandran- the mediators- held a second round of talks at Shaheen Bagh, where hundreds of women and men are camped for over two months to protest against the CAA, on Thursday.

The Supreme Court on Feb 17 appointed the two senior advocates to talk to the protesters and convince them to shift their agitation to some other places instead of blocking the Shaheen Bagh road in the national capital.

The top court told the protesters to protest without blocking the roads.

"We are not saying that people don’t have the right to raise their concerns. The question is where to protest? Because if this continues on the roads today for this legislation, tomorrow it could be done for another legislation," the top court had said.

The CAA aims to grant citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi but not Muslim refugees who came to India from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh to India before 2015.
