Protestors came together under the banner of 'Awaken India' at Marine Drive on Friday against the government's mandatory mask-and-vaccine policy and demanded an end to the lockdown, a right to choice of treatment and no forced testing.

The protest, which was initially supposed to happen at the Mahatma Gandhi statue opposite Mantralaya at 11 am on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, was shifted to Marine Drive after police took away protesters' banners and forced the group to disperse.
