SC says Centre must ensure every road has encroachment-free space for walking

The Supreme Court has directed the Centre to ensure pedestrian spaces on all roads. Authorities must demarcate and keep these walking areas free from encroachment. Pedestrians need confidence that their designated space is safe from moving vehicles. The court emphasized this right to walk is fundamental, forming part of Article 19 and 21. This directive aims to provide safe and unimpeded movement for walkers across the nation.
