Mumbai/Maharashtra, Jan 2: In protest against the violent clashes in Pune a day before, there were calls for a bandh in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Reportedly the Dalit groups have sought action against those involved in the clashes.

Lakhs of Dalits have gathered in the city to attend an event to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Bhima Koregaon. Violent incidents have been reported between the Dalit and Maratha communities on Monday at this event.

One person had been reported dead and several people were injured in the clashes.

The violent mob had stalled train operations at Mulund, Chembur, Bhandup, Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar in Vikhroli and Nehru Nagar in Kurla this morning.

“There are groups of people attempting a rasta roko (to block the way). The police has managed to avoid it so far,” said Additional Commission of Police Lakhmi Gautam.

Protesters had also attempted to march towards Ambedkar Garden in Chembur. But they were stopped by the police. Sion Panvel highway was also blocked by the protestors.

The violent mob had vandalised buses which lead to suspending services to Ahmednagar and Aurangabad.
