Maratha Kranti Morcha protestors protest during the Mumbai Bandh
The Mumbai Police has alerted all the police station in view of Maratha agitation on Thursday. Cops will be keeping a close eye on the movement of agitators as incidents of Violence were witnessed the last time when the agitation took place. Though, agitators have called for a peaceful Thiyya Andolan, in which protestors will be seating in front of the Collectors office in Bandra for 3 hours. Organisers of the Maratha Morcha have requested the agitators to keep the protest peaceful.
Sakal Maratha Samaj is carrying out the protest demanding reservation for the Maratha community across the State. Protests were also carried out in the last week of July 2018 including Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane. But instances of Violence forced agitators to carry out 'Thiyya Andolan'. "At many places, some anti social elements entered the agitation inciting violence which has given a bad name for protests, which was appreciated earlier for its discipline. Therefore we have decided to carry out 'Thiyya Andolan' and asked our members not to take out any morcha" said a member of Sakal Maratha Samaj, the organising body of protests.
