The Statesman: A 620 km long human chain comprising around 70 lakh people was formed in Kerala by the CPI (M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) on Sunday to mark protest against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act.

The human chain stretched from Kasaragod in north to Kaliyikkavila in the south in Tamil Nadu.

As per the reports, a large number of people gathered for the human chain formation and after a trial at 3:30 pm, the chain formation began at 4 pm. At first, the Preamble of the Constitution was read out and then every participant took a pledge on the account of the CAA by the BJP-led Central government.

At the southernmost end, CPI-M Politburo member S Ramachandran Pillai was first in the chain while at the southernmost end, another Politburo member of the party MA Baby was standing.
