Overview

• Hundreds marched under the Sakal OBC Maha Morcha from Yeshwant Stadium to Samvidhan Square in Nagpur, calling for cancellation of the September 2 government resolution.
• Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar joined OBC activists Laxman Hake and Mahadev Jankar and warned of blockades in Mumbai, Pune and Thane if the order is not withdrawn.
• A day earlier in Mumbai, roughly 10,000 Kunbi and allied OBC protesters at Azad Maidan temporarily ended their demonstration after Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha promised to convey their demands to the chief minister within eight days.
• The state maintains it will verify caste documents and pursue legal action against forged or falsely issued certificates, with the OBC sub-committee tasked to scrutinize cases.
• OBC organisations argue their quota share would be diluted and allege extensive Kunbi registrations are being used to include Marathas, while the government resolution continues during judicial review.
