The protests by Marathas seeking reservation don't show any signs of ending. On Monday, despite members of the Maratha Kranti Morcha appealing to people to hold a non-violent bandh, Pune city, Solapur, Aurangabad, Sangli and other parts of the state saw violence. Violence erupted in Chakan, the industrial town in Khed taluka, where more than 150 vehicles including four ST buses were damaged and torched.

Police used mild lathi charge to bring the situation under control in Chakan. They also used tear gas but the violence continued and forced them to impose Section 144 of IPC (prohibiting assembly).
