Manoj Jaranranth Patil Azad Maidan Maratha Protest Live News Updates: Owing to the Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil’s indefinite hunger strike on the fourth consecutive day on Monday, some bus services were suspended outside the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) station, while others remained severely disrupted. Supporters of Patil gathered outside the CSMT station in huge numbers early today. This comes after the Maharashtra Cabinet sub-committee sought more time to relook the matter a day earlier. Following a series of meetings on Sunday, no headway was made, leading Patil to declare he would intensify the agitation, and would give up water from today.
Mumbai traffic update: Owing to the protests, the Mumbai traffic police has issued advisory asking commuters to follow directions while heading to South Mumbai on Monday. “Expect slow traffic and occasional disruption tomorrow morning while commuting towards south Mumbai due to ongoing agitation. Keep following directions given at traffic junctions to minimise inconvenience,” the traffic police stated over a post on X. The Central Railway Spokesperson has also requested all office goers and commuters to plan their commute “keeping in mind a buffer time,” owing to slight delays. “We also request the ones who can stay at home and work to do so, to minimise disruptions,” the Spokesperson said.
