In the settlements of Hindu migrants from Pakistan, the residents lit lamps and burst firecrackers on Monday night soon after CAA rules were notified.

In the settlements of Hindu migrants from Pakistan, the residents lit lamps and burst firecrackers on Monday night soon after the rules to fast-track citizenship for undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who came to India before December 31, 2014, were unveiled.
