CJP marchers reached within 100 metres of Parliament, says The Hindu
Thousands of largely young, student protesters pushed through barricades and reached within about 100 metres of Parliament on Monday before being tear-gassed and baton-charged, The Hindu reported from the scene. A senior official said roughly 3,000 personnel were outnumbered despite an internet shutdown. The leaderless crowd, marching from Jantar Mantar over NEET exam grievances, was finally blocked by buses near the complex.
