Farmers' leader takes out silent march demanding Mahadevi elephant be brought back
Kolhapur, Aug 3 (UNI) Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana (SSS) national president and former MP Raju Shetty today took out a 45 KM long 'Atmaclesh' (masochist) Yatra silent March from Nandani to Kolhapur district collector office, demanding Madhuri alias the Mahadevi elephant be brought back.
The pachyderm has shifted to Radhe Krishna Temple Elephant Welfare Trust Jamnagar (Vantara sanctuary).
Thousands of peoples along with women from all parts of the district, gathered at Sri Chakreshwar temple in Nadani village of this district in the early morning at 0500 hours and began their Silent March (Muk Morcha) towards Kolhapur city, which will reached around at 1600 hours this evening with taking boards in hands with slogans as 'Aamchi Madhuri Parat Dhya"(Return our Madhuri).
Shetty, while talking with reporters in March, said that Vantara sanctuary misguided supreme court with submitting false report on the health of Mahadevi elephant. Even supreme court directed to shift the elephant to Jamnagar, it was not final and president of India has a right to change this judgement.
A delegation comprising women, will meet district collector Amol Yedge to hand over a memorandum demanding to bring back Mahadevi elephant and also a letter addressed to president Droupadi Murmu to interfere and changed supreme court's direction.
