Maratha quota stir: Manoj Jarange-led protest not peaceful, paralysed city, says Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court criticized the Manoj Jarange-led Maratha quota protest for violating imposed conditions, citing disruptions in Mumbai. An estimated 35,000-45,000 protesters have brought South Mumbai to a standstill, leading to traffic diversions and road closures. Manoj Jarange Patil intensified his hunger strike, demanding reservation under the OBC quota, while government efforts to address the issue remain unresolved.
