Mumbai Police in a notice on Saturday said, "In a meeting of senior officials, it has been decided to increase the vigil at the political party offices, MPs, MLAs and Corporators residence and their offices."
The police has also asked all police stations to ensure security at all political offices in Mumbai, amid the political unrest in Maharashtra. Officer-level police personnel have been directed to visit every political office to ensure the safety of all politicians.
Maharashtra has been at the centre of politics after Shiv Sena MLA Eknath Shinde along with many other MLAs rebelled after initially moving to Surat in Gujarat and later shifting to Guwahati in Assam. The Shinde camp has been now camping at a hotel in Guwahati.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police has kept its previous prohibitory order of June 11, restricting an assembly of five or more people maintainable. The order mentions that it would remain in place till July 10.
