Thousands of farmers, who walked from Thane to CST on Thursday, knocked on the doors of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who has assured them that their demands would be addressed. At a meeting held at Vidhan Bhavan, Fadnavis connected the delegation with the officials in the affected districts and directed them to expedite allotment of land to the Adivasis.
Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan who negotiated with the activists on Wednesday night and took them to the Vidhan Bhavan on Thursday, said the meeting was cordial and most of the issues were common to Thursday's protesters, including the left-supported group and the RSS-backed tribals, who had agitated in the city previously. It was further decided to review the work done three months after Thursday's meeting.
