Shiv Sena, led by Eknath Shinde, has announced candidates for three Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra, taking their tally to 15 seats. The party’s choices for Nashik, Thane, and Kalyan seats have prevailed over BJP and NCP. They have managed to secure more seats than their current count. This announcement comes ahead of the nomination deadline for Phase 5 elections in Mumbai, MMR, and Nashik.

Traders in Nashik have decided to indefinitely close onion auctions at all APMCs in protest against the 40% export duty imposed by the Centre. This decision will adversely affect onion growers and its export. The closure will impact Lasalgaon, the largest wholesale onion market in India. Traders urge the government to reconsider the duty as it doesn’t consider the rise in onion production costs. The closure will also impact local markets and farmers.
