Blockages on Lucknow-Faizabad Road

Hi, today I was conducting field visits for work in the villages along Faizabad Road. Does anyone know why there are three barricades, approximately 15 kilometers apart, on the Lucknow-Faizabad road? At the first stop, there were ten policemen, and at the next two stops, there were about 5 or 6 officers present. At the barricade near Lucknow, they directly asked if we were headed to Ayodhya. I don’t understand the reason for all this.
