Mangaluru: Amidst heavy police deployment,thousands throng towards Adyar-Kannur for anti-CAA protest
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.

India has agreed already to drop its tariffs to nothing: President Trump
New York/Washington, May 7 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India has “agreed” to drop its high tariffs “to nothing”.
“I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We’re not going to put up with that, and they’ve agreed already to drop it. They’ll drop it to nothing. They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.
“So we’re going to put down some numbers and we’re going to say our country is open for business and they’re going to come in and they’re going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It’s very simple. It’s very simple,” he added.
In the past, Trump has called India “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are “coming along great” and he thinks “we’ll have a deal with India”.
