The Bombay High Court on Friday, August 23, orally said it will "restrain" the political parties from proceeding with their "Maharashtra Bandh" over the Bdlapur incident. A bench led by Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya directed the state government to take necessary measures to prevent the statewide shutdown. The Maha Vikas Aghadi, comprising the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP), has called for a "Maharashtra Bandh" on August 24 to highlight what they termed as the "total collapse" of the law-and-order situation in the state against the backdrop of the Badlapur incident where two minor girls were allegedly raped at a school. Maharashtra Bandh: Uddhav Thackeray Urges Public to Join Shutdown Over Rising Violence Against Women.
