Members of Other Backward Class (OBC) communities from Maharashtra will organise a march here
on the first day of the state legislature session on Monday for "safeguarding" their existing quota. The organisers of the protest are also opposing any probable move on part of the state government to induct Marathas into the OBC category. The OBC VJNT Sangharsh Samiti has decided to take out the 'Elgaar Morcha' from Byculla in south Mumbai to Azad Maidan, on Monday, Samiti convener Chandrakant Bavkar announced on Friday.
He said representatives of over 250 castes under the OBC category along with members of 58 Vimukta Jati (denotified tribes) and Nomadic Tribes (VJNT) castes will join the protest. The committee is demanding scrapping of the 16 per cent quota granted to Marathas by the state government last year.
