The NH-9 barricades are still there,” said Mudit Garg, project director, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). “The removal of barriers from the DME flyover at UP Gate is only half the job done. For traffic to resume on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, the farm unions will also have to clear the Ghaziabad-Delhi lanes of NH-9 and DME, where they continue to stay put in tents.The removal of barricades places the onus on farm unions. Farm unions had earlier argued in court that it wasn't them but the police who were blocking the road.The Supreme Court had last week observed that the farmers' have the right to protest but not block roads. Delhi Police Friday began clearing the barricades along the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border at Ghaziabad and Tikri, 11 months after they were placed in response to the protest against the farm laws enacted by the union government.
