Hundreds of women have been sitting on a road in south Mumbai’s Nagpada area since the January 26 night against the CAA-NRC-NPR regime, apparently drawing inspiration from New Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh protest.

Holding placards and raising slogans against the Citizenship Amendment Act, the National Register of Citizens and the National Population Register (NPR), the women sat down on the Morland road outside Arabia Hotel on Sunday night.

Most of them are residents of Muslim-dominated Madanpura, Jhoola Maidan, Apripada and Mumbai Central areas.

They have so far not withdrawn their agitation despite senior officers of the Mumbai police urging them to do so, an official said on Monday morning.

The women protesters can be seen holding placards with slogans like ‘We stand against CAA, NRC, NPR’, ‘They tried to divide us’, ‘Respect my existence or expect my resistance’ written on them.
