Road from Jamia to Noida shut due to Shaheen Bagh protests reopens briefly
The protesters had opened a small portion of a road leading to Kalindi Kunj so that locals could pass through it with their two wheelers, police said.
A road, which had been blocked for over two months, due to ongoing protests against the new citizenship law in South East Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh was reopened briefly on Saturday only to be closed immediately, police said.
The road had been opened by a group of demonstrators.
“Around two hours ago, road number 9 in Shaheen Bagh was reopened by a group of protesters, but later it was closed by another group,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) R P Meena said.
The protesters had opened a small portion of a road leading to Kalindi Kunj so that locals could pass through it with their two wheelers, police said.

The protests at Shaheen Bagh led mainly by women have caused inconvenience to commuters travelling between Delhi and Noida. Several roadblocks put in place by the police have also added to the chaos and had an impact on other alternative routes in the area.
Shaheen Bagh has been the epicentre of anti-CAA protests in the national Capital since December after a brutal police crackdown on protesters in Jamia Millia Islamia University that left many students and a few policemen injured.
