A New Year Eve event, Jashn-E-Ekta, focusing on the struggle against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), to be held at the Carter Road Amphitheatre in Bandra West on Tuesday, was denied police permission over feasibility issues. The organisers, however, have claimed that this is a way of silencing the rising voices against the CAA.

The musical event, also called Unity Rocks, was planned by Mumbai Against CAB and Hum Bharat Ke Log. News about the event was being spread among the youth through social media. A statement by Jashn-E-Ekta's organising committee on Tuesday said police backtracked after agreeing to the event and asking them to come for formalities on Monday. It added that police had issues with the event's line-up.
