Internet services suspended in various parts of Capital

Following multiple protests in the national Capital against the amended Citizenship Act, the Delhi Police to avoid any untoward incident and to curb rumours on Thursday suspended internet services in various parts of the city.

Police also used drones to keep a watch on protesters as they gathered to march against the amended citizenship law, from Red Fort in Old Delhi to Shaheed Park near ITO on Thursday morning.

The police had denied permission to the left-backed students organisation AISA and the Swaraj Abhiyan to hold a march against the Citizenship Amendment Act from the Red Fort, citing law and order issues. A huge number of protesters were stopped at police barricades on Nishadraj Marg in Daryaganj, while trying to reach Red Fort. A drone hovered over them to record the happenings.
