Mumbai, Jan 2 (IBNS) : Five people, including four policemen were injured in clashes on Tuesday  as Dalit groups hit the streets in Mumbai suburbs to enforce a shutdown in protest against the violence against members of the community in Pune on Monday.

Hundreds of people stalled train operations at Mulund, Chembur, Bhandup, Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar in Vikhroli and Nehru Nagar in Kurla in the morning.

Media reports quoted  Additional Commission of Police Lakhmi Gautam as saying that there were also attempts to block roads, which police managed to foil.

Later, protesters attempted to march towards Ambedkar Garden in Chembur, but were restricted by the police. They blocked traffic on the roads, including on the Sion Panvel highway.

According to reports, services on the Harbour line were ffected.  Trains between CSMT to Kurla and between Mankhurd to Panvel are running.

Meanwhile, Maratha groups also staged protests in Pune. Buses were reportedly vandalised, due to which services to Ahmednagar and Aurangabad were suspended.
