In the backdrop of a protest march to CIDCO Bhawan on June 24, the Navi Mumbai Traffic Police has announced a traffic diversion. The protest is organised by BJP, All-Party Action Committee (APAC) activists and local project affected persons (PAP) demanding that Navi Mumbai International airport be named after the late DB Patil.
While the Navi Mumbai Police has not permitted the protest march due to the coronavirus pandemic, the organisers have made claims that around one lakh agitators are expected to participate in the peaceful protest march.
Earlier, on June 10, thousands of villagers formed a human chain to put pressure on the state government to name the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport after the late DB Patil.
