Dharna for saving "Dol Ka Badh" continues, more groups come to support

Jaipur, Jul 6 (UNI) Two groups of lawyers and the Gandhian preachers-followers today joined in the dharna being held here for last two week to save “Dol Ka Badh”, a 100-acre urban forest grove in the Pink City.
The protesters, affiliated with various social groups and NGOs including the People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), have also been holding a relay hunger strike for the past 10 days. Three activists took their turns today to sit on a day-long fast for keeping the relay hunger strike going on.
In a bid, to evoke awareness among locals about this stir- for a social and national cause- the activists took out a procession (Prabhat pheri) in the morning in nearby Sanganer town. Locals joined in the March in big number and also turned up for dharna in the afternoon.
