Thousands March in Maharashtra Demanding Land Rights and Basic Amenities

Thousands of farmers, tribals, and laborers in Maharashtra, led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist), conducted a multi-day 'long march' from Charoti to the Palghar Collectorate to demand the implementation of the Forest Rights Act, land rights, water access, and basic amenities. They oppose projects like the Vadhavan port, citing threats to livelihoods and forest conservation. Officials have engaged with the delegation, but protesters vow to continue until their demands are met.
