The police here on Sunday resorted to lathi-charge and firing of tear gas after stones were pelted during a rally in favour of the amended citizenship law.

Speaking to ANI, a local said: "A peaceful rally was going on in favour of the CAA when suddenly some people started pelting stones, which caused injuries to many people. I request the administration to take strict action against the guilty."
