General News: Schools and colleges as well as plants of several companies will remain shut in Maharashtra's Pune district in view of the bandh called by the Maratha organizations over their reservation demand.

Collector Naval Kishore Ram in an order issued here said there will be road blockades and processions tomorrow and the possibility of stone-pelting on vehicles and arson cannot be ruled out.

Therefore, schools and colleges have been asked to remain closed tomorrow and an advisory has been issued in this connection, the order said.

"Even if there is no untoward incident during the protest, roads might be blocked and we don't want students to be inconvenienced and parents to be anxious unnecessarily," the collector told PTI.

A release issued by the collectorate said during the violence on July 30 in Chakan area, 70 to 80 vehicles were torched and damaged.
"Two school buses were also torched in the violence and lives of students were endangered," it said.
