Maratha protests: BEST bus vandalized in Juhu
A BEST bus at Mumbai's Juhu bus stand was vandalized on Sunday evening during the ongoing Maratha reservation protests.
Around 7:15pm protesters got into a scuffle on route number 201, assaulted a passenger, and smashed a window before leaving the scene.
Protests led by Manoj Jarange-Patil
Police arrived after the protesters had dispersed—thankfully, no one was hurt and passengers continued their journey on another bus.
The protests, led by Manoj Jarange-Patil (currently on hunger strike at Azad Maidan), are calling for Maratha inclusion in the OBC quota for jobs and education.
The unrest has caused major disruptions across Mumbai, with traffic jams and several BEST routes diverted.
Authorities have urged commuters to follow updated traffic advisories due to ongoing disruptions.
