Planning and coordination between police officers and agitators resulted in a hassle-free morcha day for Mumbaikars.  However, the turnout for the rally was lesser than expected, said officials. The Halla Bol morcha organised by the Maha Vikas Aghadi was expected to hit record numbers as three big parties and several others had come out on the streets. The police had anticipated an assembly of over two lakh agitators. 

As per the Mumbai Police department, a total of 30 squads, including 317 police officers, 1,870 constables, 22 platoons of State Reserve Police, the riot control squad, water cannon, CCTV van and reserve squads, were deployed for the bandobast of the morcha. Drones were used to keep watch on the movement of the rally.
