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. 

The bandh partially impacted Mumbai’s public transport, with 11 BEST buses being vandalised and blockages on the Eastern Express Highway leading to traffic jams for some time.
