Section 144 imposed in Uttar Pradesh's Kairana
Section 144 has been imposed in Kairana and Sardhana in Uttar Pradesh, prohibiting large assemblies in the towns. This comes amid the allegations of an 'exodus' of Hindus from the Muslim-majority Kairana. Both the BJP and Samajwadi Party have said that they will conduct marches, even though the state administration has said that it has not granted any permissions.
