Thousands of people are marching in Chennai despite the police declining permission to them to hold a protest against the centre's policies on citizenship. The crowd numbering at least 15,000 and mostly Muslums, according to the police, plans to surround the Secretariat and the District Collector's office. The Madras High Court had told the protesters not to march to the Tamil Nadu assembly. The protesters say they are on a peaceful protest and will not go towards the assembly building.
