MNS Protests Hindi Signage at Mumbai Metro Station
Imagine some signs at the train station use a language that some people don't like.
A group called MNS protested against these signs because they were in Hindi.
They went to the station and covered up the name of the station.
This is part of a bigger argument about which languages should be used in Maharashtra, a state in India.
Some people think Marathi, the local language, should be used more.
This event is now being looked into by the police because they damaged public property.
MNS workers protested at Andheri Metro Station.
The protest was against the use of Hindi advertisements.
Protesters blackened the station's name.
The incident took place on Monday, September 29.
Police are investigating the defacement of public property.
