After the Maharashtra government agreed to most demands of Maratha reservation activists, celebrations broke out across Mumbai, where agitators welcomed the decision with great enthusiasm.

Similarly, Antarwali Sarati village in Jalna district, the hometown of Manoj Jarange Patil, the movement's leader, erupted in joy upon hearing the news. People gathered in large numbers, bursting crackers, throwing gulal (coloured powder), and dancing to mark the historic moment.

According to local police sources, villagers in Antarwali celebrated in traditional style despite many residents being away in Mumbai to participate in the ongoing agitation. “Had more people been present, the atmosphere and scale of festivities would have been much larger,” an officer said.
