On the day of Vijayadashami, lakhs of Buddhist followers from India and abroad reach here. Actually, Deekshabhoomi Trust is building an underground parking here, which is being opposed fiercely. Police reached the spot and tried to stop the protesters by cordoning off the area from all sides, but failed. Opposition party leaders are continuously opposing this underground parking, in which Prakash Ambedkar is at the forefront. At present there is still a huge crowd on the ground and signs of arson and vandalism are visible. A large number of police forces are deployed. read this also: Devendra Fadnavis will ask for Bharat Ratna for this former CM who was a Congress leader, said- will write a letter to the center Source link
