Maratha Quota Row: As part of the second phase of the disturbance, activist Manoj Jarange started an indefinite fast, which heightened agitation over the Maratha quota issue. From August 29 to September 14, he went on a hunger strike. After receiving assurances from the administration that it would consider his quota demand, he ended his agitation.

During Monday night's continuous movement for Maratha quota, there were many violent occurrences in Maharashtra's Beed district. According to a Tuesday official, 49 persons have been taken into custody by police in relation to the incident in Beed. 

Top five developments on the Maratha quota stir: 1) Following violent episodes during the current agitation for the Maratha reservation, a curfew has been enforced in Maharashtra's Dharashiv district. The CrPC's section 144(2) has been used to issue the order, according to the local government. 

2) On Mondays, District Collector Sachin Ombase declared that gatherings of more than five individuals are prohibited during curfew hours. Until further instructions, the area is under curfew. The Dharashiv schools, colleges, and stores would all be subject to the edict. On the other hand, businesses that offer milk and medications, government buildings, banks, hospitals, public transportation, and the media have all been spared.

3) On Monday night, a gathering of protesters over the Maratha reservation issue reportedly set fire to Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Prakash Solanke's Beed City office. This occurs during activist Manoj Jarange's indefinite fast, which began on October 25 in Antarwali Sarati hamlet in the Jalna district.

4) In response to demonstrators setting one of the company's buses on fire in Omerga, Maharashtra, during the current agitation for the Maratha quota, the Kalyana Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (KKRTC) has halted its bus services to that state. Additionally, the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) stopped operating between Pune and two Marathwada districts. 

5) Eknath Shinde, the chief minister of Maharashtra, said at Yavatmal that the Maratha people must be patient. He pledged the community a "positive decision" and encouraged them not to "take an extreme stance". In addition, he warned against instigating violence in the name of the Maratha reservation and said that the movement as a whole is being viewed with mistrust because of certain individuals.
