Hindi-Marathi row hits cinemas as MNS protests fewer screens for regional film
A fresh row has erupted in Maharashtra between Hindi and Marathi cinema over the allocation of movie theatre controversy began when screenings of the Marathi film Yere Yere Paisa 3 were reportedly reduced across multiplexes to accommodate the Hindi blockbuster Saiyaara, which has already grossed over Rs 220 crore globally. The decision has drawn strong backlash from Marathi filmmakers and regional political parties, who see it as a blow to the state's cultural Khopkar, the chief of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Cinema Wing and producer of Yere Yere Paisa 3, alleged that multiplexes were engaging in 'vindictive politics' by favouring Saiyaara over regional cinema. 'If my film isn't given screens, I will break the glasses of those theatres,' Khopkar warned, accusing cinema chains of ignoring the rule that mandates one screen in every multiplex for regional leader Sandeep Deshpande backed Khopkar's warning, reflecting the party's aggressive approach to protecting Marathi culture. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut also extended support to MNS, writing on X, 'To accommodate Saiyaara, Yere Yere Paisa 3 has been sidelined, a recurring issue. The fight for Marathi must intensify. Jai Maharashtra!'The ruling Shiv Sena faction, led by Eknath Shinde, also entered the fray. Its Cinema Wing President, Sushant Shelar, staged a protest outside a Bandra PVR multiplex, demanding strict implementation of the regional film screening Saiyaara's screen count has surged from 800 to 2,000, while Marathi films struggle to secure prime slots in theatres. BJP minister Nitesh Rane weighed in on the issue, urging Marathi filmmakers to approach the government rather than protest. 'Saiyaara is a hit. If your movie is good, it will get screens,' he controversy comes amid growing concerns about the marginalisation of the Marathi language and culture in Maharashtra. Just weeks earlier, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and MNS chief Raj Thackeray joined forces to oppose what they termed the imposition of Hindi in state schools.- EndsMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Maharashtra

MNS alleges irregularities in Rs 6,000cr Mumbai solid waste management tender
Mumbai: The MNS neta Sandeep Deshpande has alleged irregularities in the Rs 6,000 crore solid waste management tender of the BMC. He claimed that the son of a former BJP MP from Gujarat interfered in the tender process, which was twisted to ensure his company got the contract. Deshpande alleged that the BMC floated tenders for each administrative ward, and the conditions in the tender were included in such a way that only a few selected companies got selected. He demanded that the matter be investigated by a Special Investigation Team (SIT). Deshpande said he collected the related documents and sought time with the BMC commissioner to submit those details, demanding an inquiry into the alleged tendering fraud.

Deshpande said, "All the documents are available in public domain. Earlier also I raised the tender condition issue and stated that it was changed to favour select companies. Now, those companies have been shortlisted for the work."
