At least 60 protesters were wounded in clashes in New Delhi on Monday, while police said 118 of their own officers were also injured. The demonstrations, which began over demands for education reform, continue to be known as the 'cockroach' protest, a name that traces back to a contested remark.
The protests have not subsided a day after the confrontation. Demonstrators say their demands have not been addressed, while police said their intervention was aimed at maintaining public order.
The government has not yet issued a formal response to the education-reform demands. How the demonstrations will develop in the coming days remains uncertain.
