The district administration on Friday thwarted an attempt of a group of people from taking out an anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act march here.
The protesters, led by Aligarh mayor Mohammad Furqan, tried to take out a procession from Shamshad Market to the collectorate complex but police blocked their passage.
Speaking to mediapersons, Furqan said, "We were exercising our democratic right to protest but police did not allow us to reach the Collectorate."
