Shiv Sena has been protesting against the use of the word `Bombay' in various establishments since Sunday. So far it has targeted an elite school, a leading newspaper and a textile showroom in the city.

Sena's stand is that since 'Bombay' has been officially renamed as 'Mumbai', the word should not be used.

Heavy security continues to be present on the Dalal street, where BSE is located, as police fear further attempts of protest by the Sena workers.
