SC to Hear Petition on Removal of Protesting Farmers from NCR Borders to Clear 'Roadblocks'

The Supreme Court on Monday will hear a petition on the removal of protesting farmers from the borders of the National Capital Region to clear away “blockade of roads”. The state governments of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana have filed a response against the public interest litigation, informing the court that they have done “their best” and partially opened the highways. However, they have told the apex court that despite “multiple rounds of negotiation” with them, farmers have continued their agitation against the Centre’s farm reform laws. Thousands of farmers from across the country, particularly Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, have been camping at Delhi borders, including Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur, since November last year.
