THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Police have served eviction notice to the participants of the Shaheen Bagh-model protest in front of Secretariat, giving them two days to voluntarily shift their panthal. Cantonment police has also served notice to

(JWKF), which has been conducting a relay satyagraha in front of Secretariat since January 26.

"We will continue our peaceful protest here. It is an irony that a protest against CAA, on which our Assembly passed a resolution, is being denied permission. We demand the chief minister's intervention on the issue," said Medha Surendranath, one of the organisers of the anti-CAA protest.

For the past 14 days, scores of people, ranging from students to homemakers, have been coming to the venue to express solidarity with the Shaheen Bagh protest. Leaders like Oommen Chandy, Ramesh Chennithala, V Sivankutty, Kanam Rajendran and cultural figures such as Paul Zacharia, Rajan Gurukkal and C R Neelakantan have visited the venue to express their anti-CAA sentiment.

In a notice served on Sunday morning, Cantonment police said that the panthal, located in a high security zone and obstructing the view of the Secretariat, is a serious security violation.
