Home Minister Amit Shah was forced to cancel a visit to Shillong due to turbulent conditions in the northeastern states. Aircraft and train services in the eastern states have been shut down due to violent protests. Such a scenario is likely to create a shortage of petrol and culinary gas supply here next week.

A crowd protesting against the Citizenship Improvement Act in Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, threw stones at police near Rajbhavan on Friday evening. Police then released tear gas shells and battered the crowd to disperse the crowd. Curfew was imposed in parts of Shillong after violent protests.

Due to violent protests in the northeastern states, the ban on Internet and SMS service was extended for 48 hours. However, curfew was relaxed in Guwahati and Dibrugarh on Friday for five hours. Here the demonstrators of the Akhil Assam Students' Association landed on the fast.

Due to violent protests in the northeastern states, oil companies in the region are forced to shut down their refinery, petrochemical and oil production units in the coming weeks, which could cause shortage of petrol and culinary gas in the area.

The Indian Oil Corporation said that it was forced to shut down its production unit at Digboi Refinery and Guwahati, and Oil India Limited was also forced to shut down its LPG production unit. As a result, production of petrol-diesel and LPG has been cut by 15-20% in the eastern states. ONGC also reduced production by 25 percent.

Meanwhile, students of Jamia Millia Islamia University in New Delhi staged a protest on Friday against citizenship law. Police fired tear gas shells as the protesters threw stones. Students and professors of Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh also joined in protest of the bill.
