After violence over CAA, govts struggle to strike balance, set narrative

While the Chhattisgarh government ordered probe as school children participated in pro-CAA rally, West Bengal governor asked people not to pay attention to 'goli maaro' slogans

The Assam government on Monday informed the state Assembly that three anti-CAA agitators died in December last year after policemen fired in the air to control the situation but missed the aim. Two others were killed in attacks by miscreants during the agitation, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary said. A total of 573 people have been arrested across Assam for their involvement in the anti-CAA movement, he said.

"When warning, lathicharge and tear gas shells could not pacify the agitated anti-CAA people, the police fired in the air with much restraint to control the situation, maintain law and order
