On Sarvapitri Amavasya, a nationwide INDIA bloc protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation gained momentum in Nalasopara. Congress, Samajwadi Party, and Sharad Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party leaders staged a symbolic Pinda Daan ritual, offering pindas and performing religious rites to metaphorically give a burial to Gyanesh Kumar.
Hundreds of citizens witnessed the ritual, led by Congress District President Captain Nilesh Pendhari. The crow, a common symbolic participant in such rituals, abstained from touching the pinda offering. The protest leaders drew a parallel with Prime Minister Modi's extraction of gas from a gutter, implying Kumar's pinda was similarly discarded in a gutter.
Three fires broke out within eight hours in Nalasopara, Virar, and Valiv, causing shop and warehouse destruction. Prominent figures like Dr. Dinesh Kamble, Rupesh Rodricks, Manoj Mhatre, Kailashnath Yadav, Kiran Shinde, Ratan Tiwari, and others were among the participants. The protest took place in front of the Tulinj Police Station in Nalasopara (East).
