The Supreme Court asked a Delhi BJP leader on Tuesday to approach its mentioning officer to get an early date of hearing on his plea seeking removal of anti-citizenship law protesters from Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh.

BJP leader Nand Kishore Garg had urged the court for an urgent hearing, considering the difficulty faced by residents due to the nearly-two-month-long protest on a road connecting Delhi and Noida.

“You go to the mentioning officer,” the Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde said.

Various arterial roads of Delhi have been facing traffic congestion due to the protest.
