Nearly 1,000 activists of the Republican Sena, a Dalit party, broke police barricades and captured Indu Mill situated at Dadar demanding that a monument of their late leader BR Ambedkar be built there yesterday. The workers of the Republican Sena said they captured the land because the government failed to allot it to them. Thousands had gathered to observe the 56th death anniversary of Ambedkar. Officials said the police lathi-charged the activists when they tried to remove the barricades in the compound. pics/atul kamble |
