Police warns climate activists after blocking Tower Bridge

As per media reports, hundreds of protestors gathered in central London to demonstrate international inactiveness towards the climate. The Metropolitan Police said that the protestors who try to obstruct the streets of London will not be allowed in any way to create chaos on the streets. They will be first asked to disperse, and if they do not respond to the call, they may be arrested, they added. The protestors targeted one of world's most famous bridge to gain global attention and blockading the bridge was considered a "towering achievement" by the Extinction Rebellion. A couple of days ago, climate activists demonstrated against the funding of fossil fuel industries by lenders in the so-called Square Mile. So far, the UK police have arrested dozens of protestors in the last seven days. The protestors who got arrested were either found violating the law or creating a nuisance on the streets. The cops were on high alert on Sunday, after the protestors held rallies. As many as 34 people were arrested on Sunday.
