Prakash Ambedkar Leads Protest in South Mumbai

A protest led by Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi chief Prakash Ambedkar was held in South Mumbai on Wednesday, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The protest, which had around 2000 participants, began at Metro Cinema and proceeded towards the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation headquarters near Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.

The march disrupted traffic along the stretch for nearly three hours, between 3 pm and 6 pm. Police erected barricades and deployed personnel to prevent the protesters from proceeding further.

The protest was initially planned to begin from Byculla and conclude at Azad Maidan, but the route was changed after Byculla police denied permission.

A case will be registered against the organisers at Azad Maidan Police Station for allegedly conducting the demonstration without required permission.
