Agitated residents of Assam came out in a large number to protest despite Section 144 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC)being enforced in most parts of the state.

The incident took place on December 12 in Assam's Guwahati city.

Visuals show the intense protest carried out across the state, where protesters have burned out the public buses while shouting slogans against the government.

Troops of army personnel have been deployed across the northeast, to check no untoward incident takes place.

Section 144 of IPC, which prohibits an unlawful assembly of a group of people in a public sphere, has been enforced, followed by internet shutdown in the area.

However, the raged residents did not stop and have been protesting tirelessly in the state.

The agitation commenced the day the Indian government passed the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in both, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha (Lower and Upper) house of the national parliament.

The bill allegedly enables people of Hindu, Sikhs, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian coming from Pakisthan, Afghanisthan and Bangladesh to seek citizenship right in India.
