West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee begins her protest march against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the NRC. Banerjee hit the streets of Kolkata on Monday along with thousands of partymen and vowed not to allow the proposed country-wide NRC and the amended Citizenship Act in West Bengal.

The TMC supremo began the protest march from Red Road in the heart of the city. The march will culminate at Jorasakho Thakur Bari, the residence of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore in north Kolkata, around 4 km away. "We will never allow NRC and CAA in Bengal," Banerjee said as she read out an 'oath' for her party workers.
