Maratha stir News
Members of the Maratha community broke buses, set tires ablaze and blocked roads in Pune Rural.
Following the death of the second protestor in the Maratha reservation stir, agitators took to streets to stop vehicular and train movement at several places. Mumbai streets were practically empty after taxis decided not to ply on roads, fearing vandalism. “We're afraid our vehicles may be attacked,” taxi owners told Zee News.
Maharashtra witnessed large-scale violence on Tuesday with protestors resorting to stone-pelting and arson during the ongoing Maratha agitation. One constable died and nine other policemen were injured after three agitators tried to attempt suicide.
Public transport and emergency services continued operating normally, even as the protests called by Maratha groups intensified across the state on Tuesday morning.
