New Delhi, February 21: Noida-Faridabad road has been reopened. It was shut for the last 69 days due to ongoing anti-CAA/NRC protest in Shaheen Bagh in Delhi. It comes as a major relief for the people in the city, as UP police reopened this key route that links Noida with Delhi’s Kalindi Kunj.

The Apex Court expressed concerns over the blockade of the public road at Shaheen Bagh and had suggested that protest should be shifted to an alternative location. "The right to protest is a fundamental right. But there are lines and boundaries... if everyone starts blocking roads, where will people go?" the court had said.
