A plea filed by a law student, Rishabh Sharma, sought that the Supreme Court should immediately hear his plea and pronounce appropriate order directing respondents & the concerned authorities to shift the protestors to the allotted place & provide guidelines related to social distancing & use of mask at the protest place. Further the plea said that "Majority of protestors are elderly people who are more vulnerable to this deadly virus, & it is in their best interest to completely avoid such mass gatherings and as there is a mass gatherings of protestors, the rate of transmission of COVID-19 is likely to get increased & since there is no vaccine available for the masses yet, the only way to prevent the spread of coronavirus is to put immediate restrictions on mass gatherings & practise social distancing".
Even though police have allotted a dedicated place for the protestors to protest peacefully, the protestors are not shifting/moving to the allotted place & in order to create trouble for the commuters they have blocked the borders.
