Maharashtra deputy speaker, tribal MLAs jump onto safety net at Mantralaya

The MLAs jumped onto the second-floor safety net of the Mantralaya quadrangle, threatening to stage a sit-in protest.

The legislators are demanding a meeting with chief minister Eknath Shinde to address their long-standing issues. A contingent of police, including additional commissioner of police (South) Abhinav Deshmukh, deputy commissioner of police Zone 1 Pravin Mundhe and deputy commissioner of Mantralaya security Prashant Pardeshi intervened to remove them.

The legislators were seeking immediate attention from chief minister Shinde, who was in a cabinet meeting.
