The three-km-long Halla Bol morcha by the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) saw a massive participation on Saturday morning, with party leaders comparing the rally with the Samyukta Maharashtra movement.

The morcha was planned to demand the removal of Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari over his remarks against Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and social reformers Mahatma Phule and Savitribai Phule, and to protest the failure of the Shinde-Fadnavis government to resolve the state border dispute. The morcha began at 11.45 am from Nagpada, with the protesters breaking up into batches.
