Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre has been arrested in connection with the alleged assault of doctors and nurses at KDMC's Shastri Nagar Hospital in Dombivli, Thane district. Produced before a Kalyan court, Mhatre was remanded to three days of police custody. The incident has triggered protests by doctors across Maharashtra, with two of the allegedly assaulted doctors resigning over safety concerns.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is organising a nationwide ‘Tiranga Yatra’ from May 13 to 23 to celebrate the success of Operation Sindoor and its significance for India’s security and sovereignty. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde participated in the rally held in Thane. Speaking at the event, Shinde said, “Pakistani terrorists wiped off the sindoor of our sisters in Pahalgam. They were given a befitting reply through Operation Sindoor. The operation has been successful. Prime Minister Modi had clearly stated, ‘Wahan se goli chalegi, yahan se gola chalega’. I express my heartfelt gratitude to the three armed forces of the country and to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The PM stood firmly behind our jawans and echoed the sentiments of every Indian. We have never had such a resolute and committed Prime Minister before.”
