Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange on 26th January reached Navi Mumbai in the morning, with thousands of supporters in an attempt to push for reservation for the Maratha community. Later in the day, there were reports that the Maratha reservation rally was headed towards Azad Maidan in Mumbai. The protesters, led by Jarange, had intended to begin a hunger strike at Azad Maidan, seeking Kunbi (OBC) status for the Maratha community. However, now he and his supporters would enter Mumbai on Saturday for their planned protest at Azad Maidan ground if their demands were not met by tonight as warned by Manoj Jarange. "I am taking a step backward," the 40-year-old activist said, adding that he had stopped having food from Friday and was taking only water. If an ordinance (to meet his various demands) is not promulgated tonight, I will come to Mumbai tomorrow," he said.

On Thursday, August 22, passengers on the Central Railways' Sundarban network staged a protest against poor train services. They wore white attire and black armbands or masks to express their dissatisfaction. This demonstration came after a meeting on August 14 between passenger associations and railway officials, where the concerns were discussed, and potential solutions were proposed. However, the associations found the meeting's outcome unsatisfactory, leading them to organize the protest. Siddhesh Desai from Mumbai Railway Pravasi and Madhu Kotian, president of Mumbai Rail Pravasi Sang, both voiced their frustration on behalf of the passengers. The protest is expected to intensify after 10 am. To rally support, the associations distributed 25,000 black ribbons to passengers. Their demands include reducing overcrowding, giving priority to local trains, and establishing a dedicated suburban railway transport body. The demonstration highlights ongoing issues and seeks immediate improvements in train services.
