But this is only for the schools in North East Delhi. This came after the <keyword id="6355014" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="delhi-high-court">Delhi High Court</keyword> directed the board to do so. In fact, the students too, took to Twitter to complain about the situation in their areas. With curfews imposed in many areas, it may not be safe to travel to the examination centres. The violent protests against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) intensified for the third straight day today (February 26). “Based on the request of Directorate of Education and to avoid inconvenience to students, staff and parents, the board has decided to postpone the exam scheduled for February 26 in North East Delhi,” CBSE said. Several other leaders in Delhi, including Manish Sisodia and Atishi also urged CBSE to postpone the exam. The exam was scheduled across 86 centres in North East Delhi — both government and private schools. Class X students were supposed to sit down for an English exam while Class XII students had a web applications exam. Before this, there have been at least three such incidences where the schools were shut in Delhi. Two months ago, the massive protests against CAA at the Jamia Millia Islamia University had led to closure of schools in South Delhi. And it hasn’t gotten any better since that day. Now, it is the second day that the schools remained shut in the North East Delhi as the intelligence agencies expect worse in the area. This was after seven people — including a constable of Delhi Police — <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/bullets-glass-and-stones-fly-all-over-north-east-delhi-killing-5-and-injuring-100/articleshow/74294273.cms">lost their lives amid the clashes</a>.

As many as 21 people have died and over 180 injured in the last two hours as mobs raged onto streets destroying peace and property. What is alarming about the crowds is the wide variety of weapons they have in possession - making them stand out from regular mobs who wield sticks. As tensions rose on Monday, the clashes which started with stones and rods, also brought in mobs with guns, acid, bombs and more. The Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the situation has become "alarming" and the Army should be called in as police is "unable to control it". Delhi has been the centre of protests for the last four months — be it against CAA or fee hike. Mobs have shown their affinity to gore with unexpected acts like trying to set a petrol pump on fire, yesterday. However, the police are taking standard measures like lathi charge, water cannons, and tear gas. Last night, the police issued a shoot at sight order — where they can immediately shoot anyone who tries to escape the situation. However, Kejriwal’s latest comment sends a clear message that Delhi police might not have what it takes to control a violent crowd. Here are all the weapons used in the latest violent clash in New Delhi: <div type="Slideshow" msid="74316349" hostid="261" title="Guns, petrol bombs, acid, drilling machines — and other weapons that killed 21 and injured over 180 in Delhi" firstImageMsid="74316456" slideCount="5"></div>

Guns, petrol bombs, acid, drilling machines — and other weapons that killed 21 and injured over 180 in Delhi

New Delhi, Feb 3 () RSS-affiliate labour union Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) on Monday urged the government to find out foreign hands and funding channels that supported "violent protest" over CAA in the country.
These demands were made at the 145th National Executive Committee of BMS meeting, which concluded on Sunday at Jodhpur.
"Violent protest against Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 in some parts of the country displays a sharp ideological division at the national front with Nationalists on one side and those organisations involved directly or indirectly against national unity on the other.
"Violent protests led to the rallying together of all those who support the breaking India team. Majority in the society and among workers support the CAA law whereas only a minority has fallen in the appeasement politics that opposes it," the union said in a statement.
BMS said, it demands that the government should identify the foreign hands and funding channels which supported the agitation.
It has also requested the government to identify the trouble spots across the country where violence erupts easily in issues against national security and practice zero tolerance to any sort of anti-national tendencies and violent protests.
"Government should not yield even a little on the false claims of those who oppose CAA. It need not hesitate to have healthy debates, dialogues and discussions with peaceful agitators to convince them, and (government) should enquire into those who are responsible for spreading violence," it said.

All this is happening in the wake of protests, violence, gunfire and a lot more that is stressing out the national capital. The era of protests started much before the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) issue raged on. In early November, students started it as Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) hiked hostel fee. Later, the winter session of the Parliament has left students and citizens alike taking to the streets protesting the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/bullets-glass-and-stones-fly-all-over-north-east-delhi-killing-5-and-injuring-100/articleshow/74294273.cms">Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA)</a>. Recently, depositors of scam-hit PMC Bank staged a protest outside RBI in Delhi asking the banking regulator to take action. Moreso, the victims who saw their savings vanish also said that they would take inspiration from ‘Shaheen Bagh’ protests. Looks like Delhi is not falling short of issues to take to streets about. While most of the above-mentioned issues are resulting in strife across the country, no city is as affected as Delhi which has become the hotbed. Adding to that, most protests are taking a violent turn, and random incidents of gun shots fired by miscreants is not helping Delhi-ites who are already skittish thanks to pollution spikes and inconsistent weather. The residents are unable to keep up a routine either as untoward incidents have been keeping adults from work and children from schools. There have been at least three such incidences where the schools were shut in Delhi. Two months ago, the massive protests against CAA at the Jamia Millia Islamia University had led to closure of schools in South Delhi. And it hasn’t gotten any better since that day. Even today (February 25), the schools will remain shut in the North East Delhi as the intelligence agencies suspect riots in the area.

Union Finance Minister <keyword id="129243" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nirmala-Sitharaman">Nirmala Sitharaman</keyword> on Thursday asserted that the anti-CAA protests and the recent violence in Delhi have not dampened the spirit of investors. Addressing a press conference here after meeting various shareholders post the Union Budget, Sitharaman said investors whom she met in her recent visit to Saudi Arabia expressed <keyword id="574429" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Willingness">willingness</keyword> to invest more in India. "I met several investors... both Saudi and Indian investors there. No one showed any concern. On the contrary, they were willing to invest more in India," she said. Sitharaman claimed that the companies also explored possibilities for opening representative offices in India, reflecting their willingness to invest more. "Lots of interest were shown on various projects," the finance minister said. Asked specifically about protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act or the recent violence in Delhi, Sitharaman said, "The sentiment of foreign investors has not dampened at all." On the possible impact of coronavirus scare on the industry and the economy, she said there is none as of now. "I have met 20-23 industries and they did not express any anxiety about raw material supply. However, if the situation does not improve in the next two months, there might have been problems of raw material shortage, which we are trying to see how best we can help them out," she added. On the slowdown of the economy, Sitharaman said the mood is gradually changing and positive signs are seen due to continuous efforts by the government and the RBI together. "There are green shoots visible. Many of them sustained, while some were revived. Our foreign exchange is at good condition. Though climatic conditions affected onion prices, now it is stable and we lifted the ban on exports. "RBI announced stimulus package for growth of MSME and real estate. Lending to banks has been made at a lesser rate...," she added. On the AGR dues by telecom operators, the minister said, "The department concerned is working on it after having met with the industries. Whatever is the decision of the government, they will be announced when they are ready." Sitharaman, who met the bankers in her day-long trip to Guwahati, said lenders have been asked to work on financial inclusions in the North East and be "a lot more agile". "I specifically instructed them to reach out to the tea garden workers. Asked them to sort out the difficulties and challenges in including them in the banking net," she said. The finance minister said banks have been directed to activate all frozen accounts of the tea garden workers and make them DBT compliant by March 15. "We also asked the lenders to install ATMs within 40 days in all the locations of the 17 districts after the state government gives the list of places. The state has already spoken to service providers for network and there is no issue," she added. Where installing an ATM is not possible, the number of 'Bank Mitras' should be increased there, she said. <keyword id="4156651" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="assam-finance">Assam Finance</keyword> Minister <keyword id="90408" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Himanta-Biswa-Sarma">Himanta Biswa Sarma</keyword> said eight lakh bank accounts were opened for tea garden workers after demonetisation, but 30 per cent of them are not functional due to KYC related issues.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a BJP rally in Silchar, Assam on Jan 4, 2019. The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill was passed in lower house of the Parliament, Lok Sabha, on 8 January, 2019. However, the upper house of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, will debate this bill in its ongoing session. Ahead of the debate, protests have broken out in the north eastern state of Assam, where citizens alleged that the new bill violates the Assam Accord, 1985 — which led to deportation of illegal immigrants in the state regardless of their religion. Last week families of around 855 martyrs of the anti-foreigners Assam Agitation of 1979-1985 returned the citation that the government had given them in 2016. Unrest over the issue has sparked violent protests in state for over a month now, and Assam police has reportedly grounded over 15 people. On Friday, two people<a href="https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/3-stage-nude-protest-outside-assam-secretariat-over-citizenship-bill-1986978"> stripped down </a>while a third person was found naked outside the Assam Secretariat in Guwahati, Assam.

 Three men stage a nude protest near the Assam Secretariat in protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in Guwahati on Feb 1, 2019. The protesters were swiftly removed by security personnel. “India is a democracy, though people have the right to voice their ideas and demands, such actions are not appreciated in society,” <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/assam-admits-protests-over-citizenship-bill-a-challenge-calls-for-calm-1987411">said</a> Assam Chief Secretary Alok Kumar. The Bill makes illegal immigrants eligible for citizenship on the basis of religion. This may violate Article 14 of the Constitution which guarantees right to equality, according to public policy research organisation PRS. This includes amendments to permit cancellations of Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) — which permits foreign citizens of Indian origin to stay and work in India. “This is a wide ground that may cover a range of violations, including minor offences (eg. parking in a no parking zone),” PRS said. Violence in other parts of the country Not just Assam, the bill faced protests from around the world — students from different universities in Assam gathered at Jantar Mantar in Delhi going against the central government holding placards that said ‘No to Citizenship Amendment Bill’, ‘Down with Citizenship Amendment Bill’ seeking the government to rollback the amendments.

Activists of All Assam Students Union (AASU) block National Highway 37 as they stage a demonstration against Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, in Guwahati on Jan 29, 2019. The growing unrest will be a challenge for the BJP ahead of Lok Sabha polls. The party has recently emerged as a political alternative in north east India. The party has managed to form the government in three out of the seven states in the region in recent years. However, the ongoing agitations may polarise the voters ahead of the next pan-India elections, and divide the votes. Defending the amendments proposed in the bill, BJP President Amit Shah <a href="https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/citizenship-bill-necessary-says-amit-shah/article26168945.ece">reportedly said</a> that “There are some decisions that are acceptable to some, not acceptable to others. The BJP has thought deeply about the Citizenship Amendment Bill before bringing it. We cannot leave a large swathe of people fleeing persecution hanging in mid-air. We believe that the Bill is necessary for the country,” he said.
