Union Home Minister Amit Shah has cancelled his visit to two Northeastern states - Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh - scheduled on Sunday, 15 December, and Monday, 16 December officials said on Friday.

The cancellation comes amidst widespread protests in Assam and Meghalaya against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.

The home minister's visit to the Northeast has been cancelled, a ministry official said, without citing any reason.

Shah was supposed to take part in the passing out parade at the North Eastern Police Academy near Shillong on Sunday and a festival in Tawang the next day.
