After Assam, Internet services in Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh district have been blocked since midnight till 5pm on Friday in view of the protests planned against the amended Citizenship Act.

Elaborate security arrangements have been made in view of the call given by the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) teachers’ association and students for taking out a protest march and handing over a memorandum to the district authorities.
