The Haryana government’s affidavit was filed on a plea by a woman resident of Noida, seeking a direction to ensure that the road between Noida and Delhi is kept clean so that the route is not affected.

The Uttar Pradesh government had earlier filed an affidavit and said it was making all efforts to convince the farmers that their act of blocking the roads was causing huge inconvenience to the commuters.

He argued that despite various directions by the apex court to keep the passage (road) clean, still this has not happened.
Being a single parent who has some medical issues, Agarwal said traveling to Delhi has become a nightmare. The petition states that she lived and worked in Noida, but since she had a marketing job, she had to travel to Delhi frequently.
