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 shopkeepers across the city accused the ruling political parties of forcefully shutting their shops to enforce the bandh called on Monday. Most of them had refused to suffer further loss by closing down business, but workers of Shiv Sena and other ruling parties of the state forced them to shutter down.

While many opened their stores in the evening, some decided to close for the entire day.
