Mumbai is going to be subjected to yet another 'bandh' on Monday, this time to protest rising petrol and diesel prices. The bandh, called by several political parties, is likely to affect Mumbaikars' lives too, with the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and the Congress planning demonstrations and rasta rokos across the city, from Dadar to Dahisar.

While MNS chief Raj Thackeray declared support for the bandh through a statement on Twitter, his party's spokesperson Sandeep Deshpande told mid-day that it was called for the welfare of citizens. "We are planning demonstrations and rasta rokos in areas such as Dadar, Borivli, etc. We appeal to Mumbaikars to stay at home to participate in the bandh as it is for the greater good of the society," said Deshpande.
