The Supreme Court agreed to hear a plea addressing disruptions to essential services during protests, including difficulties with ingress and egress. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, noted challenges in identifying protestors and issuing directives.

The court is considering alternative venues for demonstrations.
