In Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar’s Gulmandi area, an elderly couple arrived at a jewellery shop with just Rs.1100, money they had collected over a month by begging. While most shopkeepers turned them away, one jeweller listened to their story and was deeply moved. He sold them a gold ornament worth 1 gram for just Rs.20. The couple hails from a small village in Mantha tehsil, Jalna. After suffering losses in farming, they moved to the city and survived by begging.

Stones were pelted at the convoy of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and MLA Aaditya Thackeray in Aurangabd’s Vaijapur area on Tuesday evening. Aaditya Thackeray went to Vaijapur for the seventh leg of his party’s Shiv Sanvaad Yatra. The incident took place near the venue where Aaditya was addressing his supporters. At the same time, there was also a procession in the area to mark Ramabai Ambedkar’s birth anniversary. Aaditya requested members from both sides to remain calm and requested that the procession continue.
