The locals had been opposing the formation of the new Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporaiton since last one month.
They have even undertaken a fast unto death agitation to protest the same under the aegis of Gaon Vachwa Sangarsha Samiti led by Shiv Sena leader Vivek Pandit from yesterday.
whatever happened wasn’t good.the people who protested are absolutely unaware of the benefits of VVMC . They are provided with only one-sided information which includes only the negative side of VVMC.
The educated people are expected to think that being such nearer city to mumbai we are not yet benefited with municipal corporatin.
