On Makar Sankranti, they took to flying kites with 'No CAA,' 'No NRC' and 'No NPR' written on them

Protesters with their kites on the terrace of a building at Carter Road
After getting their message across to spectators at the India-Australia ODI at Wankhede, students used the festival of Makar Sankranti for the same, flying kites with 'No CAA', 'No NRC' and 'No NPR' written on them. They were joined by members of Hum Bharat Ke Log. After much discussion over the venue, since the police had banned kite-flying on some beaches due to safety reasons, the protesters chose the terrace of a building at Carter Road in Bandra.
With each passing day, youngsters in Mumbai are finding novel ways to protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR). While there were around 20 participants flying kites on the terrace of the building, others stood below spreading the message there. Fahad Ahmad, a PhD student from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), said, "We want to capture the sky too in order to spread our message. This is not happening only in Mumbai; kites with messages are being flown across India."
