Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], Mar 23 (ANI): The sit-in protest on Morland Road here that had been going on for over 50 days against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the National Population Register (NPR) has been temporarily called off in the wake of COVID-19.
Zonal DCP Abhinash Kumar said, "Women protesters took the decision to suspend the protest in view of the spread of coronavirus."
In Delhi, the number of anti-CAA protesters at Shaheen Bagh reduced significantly as the country observed "Janata Curfew" on Sunday.
Although there are protesters at the site, however many of them were wearing masks and maintaining distance to mitigate the chances of spreading the deadly virus.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the nation asked people to refrain from stepping out of their homes. This comes when social distancing has proven to be useful to contain Covid-19 spread. (ANI)

The party described demonetisation as a "Tughlaqi farman" that forced ordinary citizens to wait in serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs for days to access their own money. The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.
