Commuters found themselves stuck without conveyance in most areas of the city with BEST deciding to stay off the roads for most part of the day. Eleven BEST buses were vandalised earlier in the day. Cabs and autos, too, plied cautiously, with only trains operating without a hitch. Shopkeepers were angry at being forced to stay closed in a festive  week. Most schools switched to online mode for the day as some teachers found it hard to get to school.  In Thane, auto and cab drivers said Shiv Sena workers were quite aggressive, with protesters beating up those who were working. 

Just a week after schools reopened, many had to close again on Monday, due to the bandh. However, hybrid learning models developed by schools came to the rescue, as many made the swift shift to online mode for the day. But some schools which could not, gave the day off to Stds VIII and over.
