A curfew has been imposed in the Maujpur, Jafrabad, Chandbagh, and Karawal Nagar areas of northeast Delhi, as relentless violence continued for the third consecutive day over Citizenship Amendment Act protests.

Delhi Police’s Special CP Pravir Ranjan said that curfew has been imposed in violence-affected regions in northeast Delhi,” the report said.

Stone-throwing between rival groups, arson and vandalism on Tuesday marked unrelenting violence over citizenship law protests for more than 24 hours in a part of Delhi, in which 10 – including a policeman – have been killed and over 100 injured.

Shops were burnt and people armed with sticks and rods were on streets in Bhajanpura, Chand Bagh and Karawal Nagar in northeast Delhi, which saw clashes between protesters for and against the controversial citizenship law spiral into unprecedented violence in the capital yesterday.

The Union Home Ministry ruled out calling the army, saying adequate central forces and police are on the ground, said government sources.

Over 6,000 police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed along the stretch. This evening, police resorted to using tear gas shells in Chand Bagh to control the clashes.

Large gatherings have been banned in northeast Delhi under Section 144.

They have also been imposed outside Delhi Police Headquarters after calls for protest marches by the JNU Students Union.
