Violence related to the Citizenship Amendment act in several parts of Uttar Pradesh led to arrest of more than 1,100 people and preventive detention of over 5,500 people. Death toll in clashes across the state is at 19.
Over 300 people were sent notices over the same across the state, according to government officials. Those served notices were identified on the basis of the CCTV and video footage of the violence. The district magistrate has set up a four-member committee to oversee the entire process which will be completed in 30 days after which property attachment will begin.
As a preventive measure, internet services were snapped in several parts of the state for over a week. Reports say that over 10 people were killed in violent clashes last weekend in Uttar Pradesh. Keeping in view the nature of such violence, security forces conducted flag march in Gorakhpur on December 26. Gorakhpur Superintendent of Police (SP), Sunil Gupta said, “We conducted flag march to instill a sense of security among people. During last Friday prayers, stone pelting incidents happened that was curtailed.”
However, this weekend, situation in UP remained preferably under control.
