Outfit announces ‘mashal march’ to press for naming of Navi Mumbai airport after D B Patil
The Navi Mumbai Airport All Party Action Committee (NMAAPAC), which was formed to demand christening of the airport after socialist leader D B Patil, has announced to organise a ‘mashal march’ (torchlight march) on August 9.
“On the occasion of August Kranti Din, we will once again remind the government that the Navi Mumbai airport must be named after D B Patil. We will take out a march to Talao Pali in Thane where there is a monument of freedom fighters. People from other villages and cities will gather at a central point and begin the march,” said Dashrath Patil, president of NMAAPAC.
