Pro-Vidarbha activists on Wednesday organised a morcha in Nagpur for various demands and tried to lay a siege to the private residence of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Police detained the workers before they could reach their destination in Dharampeth area. They were released later.
The demands of the protesting workers include the creation of Vidarbha state and the rollback of the “hike” in power bills. They are also opposing the proposed power plant at Koradi near Nagpur.
