Even as the Election Commission is yet to decide which is the real Shiv Sena, members of the Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray-led groups faced-off over a party shakha in Kopri, Thane on Friday. This created tension in the area. The police deployed personnel and settled the dispute temporarily by giving the keys to the shakha to both groups.

While this is the first such tension over a shakha, a few days back, the Shinde and Thackeray factions clashed over possession of a library in Manorama Nagar in Thane.
