Hundreds of protesters, including students and civil society members, poured onto the streets in central Delhi on Monday protesting against the amended citizenship law and the National Register of Citizens.

The protesters, carrying placards and banners of all sizes and colors, converged at Mandi House around 11 am and started marching towards Jantar Mantar.

A large number of police and paramilitary personnel walked along with them.

“The protesters do not have permission to take out a march, but as long as they maintain peace, we do not have a problem,” a police official said.

The protesters, however, claimed that they had the permission and would march till Jantar Mantar.
