MUMBAI: As the news of Bal Thackeray's passing away spread through Mumbai and its neighbouring areas, so did a wave of fear and anxiety. Frightened citizens scrambled home, creating logjams at stations and roads, as wary storeowners shuttered down.
Fear Factor: Hooligans began prowling the streets, forcing shops shut, within an hour of Thackeray's death. In Bandra (West), a few youths shattered the neon sign of a closed showroom because it was aglow. In Dadar (West), all stores, barring a few chemist shops, were ordered to remain closed for two-three days. BEST curtailed its bus operations following stone-pelting at Ghatkopar, Pratiksha Nagar, Kamothe (Navi Mumbai) and Naupada (Thane).
Jam-Packed: Before fear and violence emptied out roads, snarl-ups were witnessed on western express highway and the arterial S V Road. At Dadar station, a near stampede was avoided because of the presence of a posse of policemen.
Grinding Halt: The 246 petrol pumps in the city wer e shut by 5pm and cinema halls called off screenings after 6pm. By late evening, one lakh autos and 30,000 taxis disappeared from the streets. The prepaid counters at the domestic and international airports too shut down. An exclusive black-tie event, where Amitabh Bachchan was to be felicitated, called off. Theatres too suspended shows.
