AJIT PAWAR FOR INCLUSION OF BORDER AREA MARATHI-SPEAKING VILLAGES

On the occasion of Maharashtra Day, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar backed the campaign to make the Marathi-speaking villages at the border, including Belgaum, Nipai and Karwar, a part of the state.

After hoisting a flag at Pune City Police headquarters in Shivajinagar, Pawar said, “On Maharashtra Day, we still regret that several Marathi-speaking villages at the state border, including Belgaum, Nipai and Karwar, could not be part of the state. I assure you that we’ll keep supporting the fight by the people of these villages to become a part of Maharashtra.” The Deputy Chief Minister also requested the people of Maharashtra to use face masks voluntarily, as “despite the removal of all Covid restrictions, Covid is not over yet”.

Maharashtra Day, commonly known as Maharashtra Diwas, is celebrated to mark the bifurcation of “Bombay” state on a linguistic basis into two states: Gujarat and Maharashtra.

The Bombay Reorganization Act came into effect on May 1, 1960, as a result of several protests and movements that demanded the creation of an individual state.
