Gurudwaras Offer Shelter To Victims Of Delhi Violence, Twitter Calls Them ‘A Ray Of Hope’

On Sunday, the Northeast region of Delhi saw clashes over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). According to Business Standard, they intensified yesterday and the localities of Chand Bagh, Bhajanpura, Gokulpuri, Maujpur, Kardampuri, and Jaffrabad witnessed the worst of the violence.

Amidst the chaos where 20 people lost their lives, 200 got injured and 100 vehicles were destroyed, the locals of Yamuna Vihar formed a human chain to escort schoolchildren to safety in a heartwarming gesture of humanity.

According to India Today, Gurudwaras in the national capital have opened their doors to offer shelter to victims of the violence (regardless of religion) or anyone fleeing from the mobs.

Gurudwaras are open for those in need if anyone faces any issue please DM.

In one part of Delhi, a gurdwara opens its doors to Muslims and anyone who needs shelter.
In Seelampur, Dalits blocked the roads against mobs, sheltered their Muslim neighbours.

Police and politicians have forgotten their duty; but the people have courage and heart.#DelhiRiots

More power to people of all the faiths who are really working hard to support each other & who believes in humanity & wish a peaceful & humble society.

It's really sad. "Police and politicians have forgotten their duty".
