"Internet services will not be suspended in Noida and Greater Noida. We are keeping a watch on the trouble makers. If somebody tries to disturb the law and order here, stern action will be taken against them," the DM told ANI.

Protests erupted in different parts of the country including Uttar Pradesh over the CAA which seeks to grant citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh and came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Internet services have been suspended in Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Pilibhit, Prayagraj, Meerut and Bareilly.
