• The High Court said the agitation has brought Mumbai to a standstill, termed it a violation of protest conditions, and set a Tuesday noon deadline to vacate streets while directing the state to prevent further influx.
• Activist Manoj Jarange entered day four of his fast and gave up water, with a JJ Hospital team checking his vitals as the bench told the state to administer medical aid if his health worsens.
• Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis convened a meeting with deputies Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar and the Vikhe Patil-led panel as the government sought legal opinions on a solution that can withstand judicial scrutiny.
• Justice Sandeep Shinde noted earlier that a cabinet sub‑committee had given in‑principle approval to accept the Hyderabad Gazette for issuing Kunbi certificates to eligible Marathas.
• Severe disruptions persisted around CSMT and south Mumbai with diverted traffic and curtailed BEST routes, OBC leaders organized resistance to blanket inclusion, and Jarange later urged supporters to stay off streets and park vehicles after the court’s order.
