The Maratha communities' protests for reservation are on 'hold,' but now the Dhangar community has begun agitating violently in Maharashtra. On Friday, its members vandalised the Tribal Research and Training Institute, at Queens Garden.

They claimed the institute has mislead the community as it has declared reservation but not given it. The protesters justified their actions by claiming that they were teaching the department a lesson.
