Jamia on Sunday witnessed massive crowds on roads leading to Shaheen Bagh as huge traffic jams were seen with scores of people coming to Shaheen Bagh. Women have also marched towards Shaheen Bagh from Zakir Nagar to the protest site.
One of the residents Zulqarnain said the crowd was massive and Shaheen Bagh has not seen such crowds till now as even peripheral roads are packed with people who have come to show solidarity with the protesters.
