Police said a case will be registered against the organisers since no permission was granted to the protest
Around 2,000 protesters participated in it.
Police said they had not given permission for the protest and a case would be filed against the organisers at Azad Maidan police station. “Traffic was diverted through other routes,” said a senior police officer. Police sources said the rally was to start from Byculla and end at Azad Maidan.
The march began from the Metro cinema junction and participants walked till the BMC HQ, raising slogans. The entire stretch was closed to traffic from 3pm-6pm. Barricades were erected and police personnel deployed in large numbers. But Byculla police did not give permission for it and the venue was, hence, changed.
