Anti-CAA: Blankets of protesting women snatched by police near Clock Tower in Lucknow

Lucknow, Jan 19: On the lines of Delhi's Shaheen Bagh, around 50 women along with children squatted near the Clock Tower in Lucknow's old quarters on Saturday evening braving the bone-chilling cold, and protested against the amended citizenship law and the planned National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Newly appointed Lucknow Police Commissioner Sujit Pandey reached the protest site and tried to persuade the agitators to end the stir, but they refused to budge.

Meanwhile, cracking down on protesters in an unusual manner, the police officials reportedly snatched the blankets, utensils and food items of residents demonstrating against the amended Citizenship Act.
