Mahanagar ("Metropolis") is a Marathi and Hindi newspaper published from Mumbai, India. The Marathi version Aapla Mahanagar ("Our metropolis") was founded by Nikhil Wagle in January 1990; the Hindi version Hamara Mahanagar was established in 1982.[1] [2] Sanjay Bhaskar Sawant is now editor & publisher of Aapla Mahanagar & mymahanagar.com.
Nikhil Wagle was physically attacked by Shiv Sena supporters multiple times for his critical remarks against the party and its leaders.[3] [1] [4]
In 1994, Wagle was imprisoned for a week after he criticized the Maharashtra legislators for paying fawning tributes to a deceased MLA accused of having criminal connections.[5]
On 19 June 2018, Digital web platform named mymahanagar.com was started, which seems to be a part of modernizing effort by the group to reach masses.
