Mumbai: Shiv Sena activists enforced bandhs in Pune, Thane and parts of Nasik district on Monday in protest against the Maharashtra government's sanction to prosecute party supremo Bal Thackeray for his alleged role in the 1992-93 Mumbai riots.

In the metropolis, life was normal after Sunday's incidents of stone-throwing and enforced closure of shops.

The bandh was near total in Thane district and adjoining areas and partial in Pune, the police said.

In Thane district, shops and business establishments remained closed and vehicles kept off the roads. There were a few incidents of stone pelting in some areas, where state transport buses were also targeted.

In Pune, schools and colleges remained open and auto rickshaws and state transport buses plied as usual. But shops and business establishments remained shut in Yerawada and Tulshi Baug areas of the city. Petrol pumps were also closed in several parts of the city.

At Vishrantwadi, nearly 30 Sena activists were rounded up for trying to enforce bandh.

At Akurdi near Chinchwad, the police foiled an attempt by Bharatiya Vidyarthi Sena activists to burn an effigy of Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal.

A report from Nasik said Sainiks had decided to continue their protests by organizing rasta rokos (road blockade) and bandhs.
