New Delhi: Indian security forces on Wednesday conducted flag marches in areas of northeast Delhi that were hit by violence since Sunday even as posse of security forces remained deployed at metro stations there.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Brahm Prakash Surya led the flag marches by personnel of paramilitary forces and Delhi Police in Jaffrabad, Maujpur-Babarpur and Gokulpuri.

Police advised people not to gather at one spot, not to heed to rumours and venture out of their homes only if necessary.

Violence had erupted in northeast Delhi on February 23 after pro- and anti-CAA groups clashed. The death toll in the violence has since increased to 20, with around 190 others injured.
