Mangaluru: Muslim Central Committee changes venue for anti-CAA protest
Mangaluru: Muslim Central Committee Dakshina Kannada and Udupi District on Monday decided to change the venue for its protest against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) from Nehru Maidaan after the police department once again refused to grant permission for the organisation to hold protest here.
The protest that will be collectively organised by 28 organisations of the District led by Muslim Central Committee will now be held at Adyar-Kannur in the outskirts of Mangaluru city. The date of the protest has not been announced yet and is likely to be decided in the Muslim Central Committee’s meeting on Tuesday.
Earlier, the protest was scheduled to be held on January 4 and was postponed as Mangaluru Police Commissioner, Dr. PS Harsha had refused to grant permission for the protest to be held at Nehru Maidaan. The organisation had then made it clear that it would only hold protest and not anywhere else.
However, after not getting permission from police department despite several attempts, the organisation finally decided to shift the venue for the protest.
