Maratha quota protestors caused significant disruption across south Mumbai, affecting ordinary citizens and even the Bombay High Court. A blockade forced a judge to walk part of the way to court.
Justices Ravindra Ghuge and Gautam Ankhad described the city as being 'literally paralysed,' with protesters flooding streets like Marine Drive and CST, engaging in activities from dancing to cooking.
Demonstrators demand a 10% reservation in government jobs for the Maratha community under the OBC category. Amidst deafening slogans, high court operations faced nearly insurmountable challenges due to restricted judge and lawyer movement.
