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.

CPI leader attends RSS-organised Hindu meet, district unit seeks clarification
Manjeshwar: The participation of a CPI leader in a Hindu convention organised by the RSS has triggered discussion in political circles.
Sundari Shetty, former president of Meenja panchayat and a district committee member of the CPI in Kasaragod, attended the Hindu gathering held in Meenja. She offered floral tribute to a portrait of Bharat Mata and also addressed the gathering from the stage, which has led to controversy.
Following the development, the CPI district unit has issued a notice to Sundari Shetty seeking an explanation. Party sources said that the presence of a senior leader of a party that follows communist ideology at a Hindu convention has caused unease within the party.
There are indications that disciplinary action may be initiated against her in connection with the incident.
