Opposition bloc I-N-D-I-A organised a padyatra in south Mumbai on Monday to mark the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri, and also protest against the NDA governments in the state and Centre.

Minor skirmishes between the police and political workers were reported along the route that the organisers wanted to take. The workers said they were to begin from the Metro cinema chowk and then walk to Hutatma Chowk via Fashion Street and then go to the Regal cinema chowk to visit the statue of the late Balasaheb Thackeray. However, they alleged that the police asked them to start from the Regal point towards the Hutama memorial and then walk towards the Ambedkar statue, Rajiv Gandhi statue and Mahatma Gandhi statue near Mantralaya.
