On Sunday there was an event of stone pelting between two groups within the the Maujpur area of Delhi. The altercation is believed to be between two civilian groups, one supporting the Citizenship Amendment Act and one against it. Reportedly, some people are injured by the stones. Police fired tear gas shells as members of the 2 groups pelted stones at one another in Maujpur. The entry and exit gates of Maujpur-Babarpur metro station are closed. Further details awaited.
An anti-CAA protest by around 500 people, mostly women, near the Jaffrabad metro station in northeast Delhi continued on Sunday, prompting the Delhi Metro authorities to shut the entry and exit gates of the station. The protest began on Saturday night, blocking a road which connects Seelampur with Maujpur and Yamuna Vihar. The women, carrying the tricolour and raising slogans of 'aazadi', said they might not move from the location till the Centre revokes the CAA.
