Most Mumbai police personnel have not returned home for the past three days, ever since Manoj Jarange began his hunger strike at Azad Maidan. To support the cops, the Maharashtra Police Boys’ Association has taken the responsibility of supplying food to all policemen deployed at the protest site.

Speaking with mid-day, Rahul Arjunrao Dubale, founder and president, Maharashtra Police Boys’ Association and member of the Police Resolution Coordination Committee under the state Home Department, said, “Mumbai police… your hunger and thirst are our responsibility. Today, throughout the day, the office-bearers of the Maharashtra Police Boys’ Association went around Mumbai and served food and water to police officers, staff, and everyone on duty. This service will continue twice a day, every day, till the protest goes on. A big salute to the Mumbai team for this effort!”
