Why do you say it's peaceful?

The only reason for the act is because of the illegal blockades which is affecting essential services, goods and livelihood of local business and citizens.

A peaceful protest cannot hold people hostage by blocking their access to essential services and goods, and trapping them in.

If the protest stopped doing that, then it's fine to continue as long as it wants.

You can't have a very small minority get its way by simply holding others hostage to their services and goods. The point of a protest is to be heard and get people to consider your cause, not to consider your demands through extraction.
