Mumbai, September 12, 2026: Maratha activist Manoj Jarange Patil will embark on a hunger strike in the city on September 19, coinciding with the Gauri Ganesh Visarjan festival. His protest, which will begin from Jalna and pass through Beed, Shirgonda, Pune, Khopoli, and Navi Mumbai, comes despite warnings from political leaders urging restraint amid concerns over law-and-order challenges and heavy traffic.
The Bombay High Court has declined to issue an urgent order to stop Jarange, stating that citizens have the right to protest peacefully. Jarange is demanding that eligible Maratha community members receive Kunbi certificates, granting them reservation benefits under the OBC category.
