Several Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders protested by travelling on local trains forcibly on Friday, demanding that those who are fully vaccinated, be allowed to travel on them. The idea that was first floated by mid-day in May 2021, that all those vaccinated with both doses be allowed to travel by Mumbai local trains, has now caught momentum with it being discussed by the passenger associations and even by the state government.

During the agitation on Friday, many leaders were arrested and penalised for protesting and forcibly travelling. Protests were held at Churchgate, Sion, Dahisar, Kandivli, Andheri and Thane.
