Students of Jamia Millia Islamia University have been protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act for nearly a week now. The university campus in Southeast Delhi turned into a battlefield after four public transport buses were set ablaze, and police decked in riot gear in retaliation fired tear gas shells and used batons to disperse the crowd. More than 100 students, policemen, and firefighters were injured and several were detained.
Though the students were subjected to a brutal assault, pictures of Jamia students cleaning up roads later at night after the protest concluded have surfaced on the internet. Post the protests, the roads were littered with glass and gutted vehicles. In the video, a group of students can be seen cleaning the streets with brooms. They can be seen collecting litters from the streets.
