Hawkers and residents in Mulund clashed twice on Tuesday, first in the morning and again in the evening, after locals alleged they were verbally abused and threatened. Two residents have filed complaints with the police, claiming harassment during disputes over unauthorised encroachment on RTT Road in Mulund market, Ganesh Gawde Road and Walji Raja Road.

On Tuesday morning, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) also acted against unauthorised hawkers in the area. The licence department of the T ward conducted enforcement drives along multiple stretches.
