Fresh protests have broken out in India, this time over a population register. For weeks now, demonstrations have erupted over a clutch of new government policies that protesters worry could lead to millions of Indians, particularly Muslims, becoming stateless. 

Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong has issued an order requiring Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC) to restrict the powers of Workers' Party MPs Sylvia Lim and Low Thia Khiang - town councillors in AHTC - in making certain financial decisions. This is to guard against a repeat of the financial irregularities at the town council caused by the duo.
