The agitating Maratha community will observe a bandh in the Mumbai metropolitan region and neighbouring districts, on Wednesday, a day after considerably paralysing the rest of the state with its agitation.

The organisers, Sakal Maratha Morcha, said the protest would be peaceful and they would ensure that essential services, schools, colleges and hospitals were not affected in Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Palghar districts and Navi Mumbai.
