Anti-CAA protests: On duty 'non-stop', Delhi policemen want normalcy in city

Delhi Police personnel, who have been on duty during the multiple protests here against amended citizenship act, said they want normalcy to be restored in the national capital soon.

Some of the policemen who were deployed at Jantar Mantar said they were not even able to go on a tea break or use the restroom.

A constable from Parliament Street police station said, "The anti-CAA protests have made us work almost non-stop. The entire police station staff has been deployed for the protests keeping all other cases aside. I am at the protest spot since six days. I leave home at around 7 am on one meal."
A constable from Connaught Place police station said, "We are given orders to reach the spot at 8 am before the protests begin. We are here throughout the day without a break for even half an hour. The administration is getting packed food for us and sometimes when food does not arrive, we have to fetch our own food. There is no drinking water."
"We have standing instructions to not move from the spot. The seniors are denying even an hour of break to travel home for household emergency or work. Yesterday, I barely reached home for some emergency work when I was called back to the police station after 19 hours of duty."
