16 Delhi Metro stations shut as anti-CAA protests gain steam

New Delhi, Dec 19 (SocialNews.XYZ) Entry and exit at as many as 16 Delhi Metro stations were closed on Thursday as people, staging protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (2019) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), gathered at various venues despite massive police deployment and imposition of prohibitory orders in several places on Thursday.
