A gratitude ceremony will be held for <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/nationalist-congress-party-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Nationalist Congress Party</a> (NCP) president Sharad Pawar on the 30th anniversary of Latur earthquake on Saturday.
Speaking to reporters, the state president of the NCP women's youth wing Sakshna Salgar said Pawar will attend the gratitude ceremony at Krantikari Maidan in Killari at 10 am on Saturday.
In 1993, a deadly earthquake in Killari village and neighbouring areas in the district claimed around 10,000 lives.
Pawar, who was the chief minister at the time, immediately rushed to the earthquake-affected areas and took the initiative for the rebuilding of villages that were destroyed, she said.
We will take precautions to ensure no disputes among INDIA partners ahead of state polls: Pawar
Meanwhile, the NCP chief Friday the INDIA bloc will take precautions to ensure that there are no disputes among its alliance partners in states like Rajasthan and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/madhya-pradesh-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Madhya Pradesh</a> where elections are due in a few months. He was speaking to reporters in Baramati.
More than two dozen opposition parties have formed the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) to take on the BJP in next year's general elections.

Replying to a question about apparent friction in West Bengal as the Congress has staked claim to some seats, the veteran politician said there are no elections there in the immediate future.
&ldquo;When elections near, the possibility of differences (among INDIA bloc partners) cannot be ruled out. However, we will sort the issues by sending neutral leaders from the alliance,&rdquo; he said.

Pawar stressed that elections are due in a few months in four to five states and that is more important for them.
&ldquo;INDIA bloc will see how all the alliance partners come on one page in states like Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. After returning to Mumbai, I will hold discussions with Congress and other party leaders and we will take precautions to ensure that there are no disputes among the alliance partners (in these states),&rdquo; he said.
This process will start in the next eight to ten days, the NCP chief said.
Assembly elections are due in a few months in Chattisgarh, Mizoram, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Telangana. (With inputs from agencies)
