TAKING note of the presence of unmanned barricades in the national capital, the Delhi High Court recently asked the Delhi Police to apprise it of the protocol being followed by them in setting up barricades.
A division bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Jasmeet Singh initiated a PIL on the issue after taking cognisance of a letter addressed by one Om Prakash Goyal to the prime minister, which in turn, was sent to the Court for taking appropriate action.
The said communication highlighted the misery being faced by the general public on account of unmanned barricades all over the city. According to Goyal, it served no purpose other than creating a blockage in the free flow of traffic, causing misery and harassment to vehicle owners and the general public. Relying on various news reports, he alleged that such unmanned barricades led to long traffic jams and hold-ups.
"The issue raised by Sh. O.P. Goyal requires consideration since the unmanned barricades of the roads, prima facie, serve no purpose and do indeed cause inconvenience and harassment to the public at large. Such barricades are also being used to set up and run kiosks and for parking vehicles," observed the bench.
The Court called for a status report from the Delhi police commissioner, the Delhi government, and the Union of India on the issue at hand, and slated the matter for further hearing on April 13, 2022.
