The sit-in protest against CAA-NRC-NPR that has been taking place at Nagpada's Morland Road, widely referred to as 'Mumbai Bagh,' for more than 50 days, has been officially paused as of late Sunday night.

Protest pauses
Earlier this week, Feroze Mithiborwala, vote committee member of anti-CAA group 'Hum Bharat Ke Log,' had indicated that he would talk to the women leading the protest about putting it on hold until the Coronavirus crisis subsided. On Sunday night, a digital communication from one of the organisers of the protest, Rubaid Ali Bhojani, was put on the official Mumbai Bagh WhatsApp group. "All the protests at Mumbai Bagh Bagh are being withdrawn due to the Coronavirus pandemic and implementation of Section 144 in Maharashtra. The police have verbally assured us that all the set-up at the venue will not be dismantled as the women will resume their protest once the threat of COVID-19 eases in the city," he said, adding that the protest would continue after the Coronavirus crisis passes, and that for the time being, people would be symbolically carrying on the Mumbai Bagh protest online.
