The Mumbai police began serving notices to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena office bearers, warning them against committing cognisable offences, after MNS president Raj Thackeray called for a statewide road blockade agitation against toll collection.

Police stations in the city have begun serving notices to MNS workers under Section 149 of the Criminal Procedure Code 1973, which empowers police officers to prevent cognisable offences, police sources said.

The police notice, has asked MNS activists to desist from carrying out any activity that would trigger law and order problems.
