Propose another venue in Kharghar
Mumbai police has refused permission to Manoj Jarange for his proposed hunger strike at Azad Maidan. The police suggested that he stage the hunger strike at the International Corporation ZPark ground in Sector 29 of Kharghar, as Azad Maidan will be smaller to accommodate Jarange’s followers.
Jarange with a large number of followers is marching toward Mumbai and has planned a hunger strike from January 26, in support of the demand for reservation for the Maratha community.
Mumbai Police have informed Jarange and also quoted issues relating to traffic in the region if the hunger strike is held at Azad Maidan. Maratha Movement leader Virendra Pawar announced that the hunger strike will begin after the celebration of the Republic Day at Azad Maidan.
