Mangaluru, Jan 15: In an exemplary display of humanity, a group of protesters lifted an auto-rickshaw to make way for it to travel to hospital on Wednesday, January 15.
The auto-rickshaw was going towards hospital with a patient when it was stuck in the traffic. The traffic congestion and long trail of vehicle was due to the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) protest rally by Muslim central committees of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts at Adyar-Kannur.
A group of people who were taking part in the protest, lifted the auto-rickshaw and placed it on the other side of the road on which vehicles were allowed to move freely.
A sea of people, convened at Adyar Kannur in Mangaluru on Wednesday in a massive protest against the CAA and National Register of Citizens (NRC).
The call for a protest was issued by 'We The People', a collective organising anti-CAA protests across the country. It was supported by Muslim organisations in Dakshina Kannada and it comes almost a month after two people were killed during anti-CAA protests on December 19, 2019.
