Shaheen Bagh Anti-CAA Protesters Removed After 101 Days Amid Virus Lockdown.
Amid sharp rise in cases of novel coronavirus or COVID-19 across country, Delhi's Shaheen Bagh - heart of anti-CAA protests - has been cleared this morning after 101 days.
Several people, including women, were detained overnight, said police. "They were not clearing the protest site despite repeated
pesuasion," said an official, adding that large gatherings are banned over COVID-19.
This comes near a week after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, while announcing banning of gathering of more than 50 people, said: "No religious, social, cultural and political gatherings comprising more than 50 people will be allowed in Delhi till March 31. The restriction is applicable to protests too."
