In Mumbai’s Colaba area, MLA Abu Asim Azmi participated in a protest demonstration and Batti Gul against the Waqf Act, calling it anti-Muslim and demanding its withdrawal. He said that Muslims have protested Batti Gul on the appeal of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, which was successful. He said that the protest will continue until the act is withdrawn. Abu Asim Azmi said that this act has been brought to grab the properties of the Waqf, which is unacceptable.

In the Muslim-majority areas of Mumbai, the lights went out as soon as 9 o’clock and the normal system came to a standstill for 15 minutes, which also affected the power supply because a sudden power outage for 15 minutes also affects the power supply. In Mumbai, Muslim-majority areas including Kurla, Andheri, Nagpara, Dongri, Paidhoni, darkness fell at 9 o’clock when the lights were switched off and the darkness became so much that the darkness of the night became even darker.
