Some tips for the people protesting-
1) Carry a backpack. Not a handbag or a sling. Always wear it on your back.
2) If you can, skip dupattas and shawls (things you can choke on if you're being pulled away by the police)
3) If you can, wear fully closed shoes. You might lose +

your slippers while running away or while you're being detained
4) Carry a portable charger if you can, your own water, some food, sanitizer, extra mask
5) Tie your hair up. ACAB and they will pull your hair if they want to.

6) Keep some of your cash outside and away from your wallet.
7) Keep at least two of your trusted contacts updated on your whereabouts and your situation.
8) Document as much as you can. Keep your own personal record of reality.
