Mangaluru: Amidst heavy police deployment thousands of people on their two and four wheeler were seen thronging towards Adyar-Kannur on Wednesday afternoon to participate in the anti-CAA, NRC protest in the city.
The protest organised by Muslim Central Committee is supported by at least 28 organisations of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Districts.
The organisers have estimated a turn out of at least one lakh people for the protest, prompting the police department to beef up the security in the city.
Protesters thronging towards the protest venue were seen sloganeering against the implementation of NRC and CAA while hundreds of volunteers deployed by organisers joined forces with police officials in easing the traffic movement on the road to avoid causing inconvenience to others.
Interestingly, an ambulance which had stuck in the traffic while carrying a patient was cleared off by the local volunteers.
