As a precautionary measure, Section 144 was imposed in several parts of the state, including Hubli, Bengaluru and Dakshina Kannada, in view of widespread protests across the state.
The CAA, which is the main reason of the violent protests across the country, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
