City Calm After Uddhav Spoke On Thursday
Mumbai: A nudge by Mumbai police top brass prompted Shiv Sena CEO Uddhav Thackeray late Thursday night to give a health update on his ailing father, party patriarch Bal Thackeray, and appeal to Sainiks to maintain peace in the city.
Uddhav's announcement had the desired effect on Friday as Mumbai crept back to normalcy. Autorickshaws and taxis returned to the roads, buses ran as normal and no incidents of violence were reported. All importantly, there was little of the uncertainty and anxiety that had permeated Mumbai on Thursday, impelling joint commissioner of police (crime) Himanshu Roy to speak to Uddhav to defuse the tension in the city.
The state government, it is learnt, believes the Thackerays should allow a medical doctor to issue regular health bulletins instead of having visitors make pronouncements on leaving Matoshree. On Friday, it was party members again—not doctors—who gave out news on Thackeray's condition.
Fewer cops were deployed outside Matoshree on Friday
