Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met Home Minister Amit Shah to review the current situation in Delhi.

After meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah, the Delhi CM said, “The police will be sent wherever they are needed, the centre has told me.”

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called for sealing the city’s border in areas that witnessed violence over the amended citizenship act to prevent “outsiders” from entering the national capital and creating a commotion.

According to a latest report 10 people have died and around 100 people have been injured in the violence that had initially erupted between pro and anti CAA protestors.

The police fired teargas shells. Metro stations have been shut down in the area as a precautionary measure. Metro rail stations that have been shut down include the Maujpur-Babarpur and the Seelampur metro station, adding to the overall congestion and chaos prevailing in the area. More security forces are being directed to the spot from other areas including nearby Jaffrabad.

The violence happened at the time of US President Donald Trump and his family on a two-day visit to India.
