A Commendable job by the police ensured that yesterday’s anti-toll protest called by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) neither created law and order issues, nor inconvenienced the motorists.

A few stray incidents: Though the police managed to keep the protestors under control, a few of the MNS workers vandalised PMPML buses after party chief Raj Thackeray was arrested in Mumbai

A visit to the Urse toll naka on the expressway and Somatne Phata toll naka on the old Mumbai-Pune highway revealed that the agitation had failed to gather steam due to timely police action. Even the protest near Indira College on the Katraj-Dehu Road bypass turned out to be a damp squib.
