HYDERABAD: Protests took place in the region of Hyderabad following the censure of Delhi violence and supposed collusion of the police department of the capital during the night of 25 February 2020 i.e. yesterday.
The resident of the city became part of the candle-light vigil that covered the areas of Seven Tombs Road, Yakutpura, Toli Chowki and King Koti.
Slogans regarding brutality by the police department and being against NRC, CAA and NPR occurred during the protest. Some even carried signs.
Hyderabad police managed to thwart the candle-light march from Necklace Road, the locality is situated near the Husain Sagar lake, which is considered to be the centre of the city.
After the involvement of Hyderabad’s police which stationed the area, the road was left abandoned despite a few activists organising a march regarding the aforementioned issues. The desolation of the road occurred before 9:00 pm.
