Shaheen Bagh protest: Road connecting Noida to Faridabad reopens after 69 days of blockade, Noida-Delhi road still closed

In a move that is likely to bring some measure of relief to commuters facing difficulties travelling between Noida and Delhi, the road connecting Noida and Faridabad has been opened for vehicular movement by the Uttar Pradesh police. The road had been barricaded and vehicular traffic stopped from moving on these roads by authorities in view of the ongoing protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the proposed National Register of Citizens for the last 69 days at the Shaheen Bagh stretch of the Kalindi Kunj road in Delhi.

The barricading had been put on the Noida-Faridabad road on December 15 when the protests against the CAA began. However, the road connecting Noida and Delhi is still closed.

The reopening of the Noida-Faridabad road should bring relief for commuters going to Faridabad from Noida and Mayur Vihar in Delhi. These commuters were taking alternate routes via DND to go to Fardibad due to the closure of the road, causing inconveniences and delays.
