Nearly 200 students and alumni of the Maratha High School in Worli protested outside the school against the suspension of the principal, Hemant Gamre. Parents of numerous students as well as residents of the area also joined the protest to display their solidarity. 

Gamre was suspended on Thursday following a lengthy inquiry that went on for several months. The inquiry was constituted on numerous grounds, one of them being that the school’s enrolment numbers were not improving under Gamre’s leadership.
