3 French cyclists cross trouble-torn Guwahati enroute to

Three French cyclists, who travelled through the streets of Guwhati on their bicycles on Thursday on way to Shillong amidst the indefinite curfew, said they did not face any problem from the protestors or the police.

The three - Cedric, Chummany and Mikael said they are on a cross continent cycle trip from France to Myanmar.

The three said that they had entered India from Nepal a week ago.

Asked by a PTI correspondent, who met the cyclists in front of the state secretariat, whether they had faced any problem due to the large scale protests against the Citizenship Amendment Bill and the indefinite curfew, Cedric said "No problem".

"In some places police stopped us and asked us why we are cycling during protests. When we told them we are on a cycling trip from France to Myanmar, they allowed us to go," he said.

Cedric, who is in his 40s, said "Curfew is not new to us. We have seen such situations (curfew) in France too. We have lot of protests against the government in our country."
Asked whether they are scared, he said "a little". "But local people have helped us a lot by telling us which roads to avoid."
