Overview

• Uddhav Thackeray will address Shiv Sena (UBT) supporters at Shivaji Park from 5 pm, while Eknath Shinde’s faction shifts to Goregaon’s NESCO for a 6 pm start after abandoning waterlogged Azad Maidan.
• Mumbai Police have deployed roughly 19,000 personnel, including 16,552 constables and 2,890 officers, backed by SRPF platoons, QRT, BDDS teams, dog squads and riot control units.
• Traffic diversions and no-parking zones are active near Dadar and Goregaon, with restrictions broadly set from 9 am to 11:55 pm around Shivaji Park and 5 pm to 10 pm near NESCO.
• Shinde has asked non-MMR workers to stay back to aid flood-hit farmers and says his rally will seek donations for relief, while Uddhav is expected to attack the government over farm distress, inflation and unemployment.
• With intermittent rain affecting Shivaji Park preparations, reports say UBT organisers may trim the speaking lineup for safety, and talk of Raj Thackeray attending remains unconfirmed.
