Marathas take out a silent march in Amravati

Continuing the state-wide protest of the community, thousands of Marathas on Thursday took out a silent march here. In the aftermath of a brutal gangrape and murder of a girl at Kopardi in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra in July this year, where the victim was a Maratha and the culprits Dalits, the Maratha community has been organising `Maratha Kranti Muk Morcha’ (silent marches) across the state.

<g data-gr-id="9">Morchas</g> at Akola, Nanded, Beed, Osmanabad, Aurangabad districts over the last one month, and in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday, have received <g data-gr-id="11">huge</g> response, forcing the political parties to take note of the community’s grievances.

All these <g data-gr-id="10">morchas</g> are marked by <g data-gr-id="14">disciplined</g> conduct of the participants and lack of any kind of violence. The march here started from Nehru ground at noon and ended at Government Girls High School square.
