More than 20 Nationalist Congress Party workers were detained on Monday for a few hours after they attempted to march towards the Nagpur home of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, a police official said.

They were protesting against what they claimed was the continuous shifting of big projects from Maharashtra to the neighbouring state of Gujarat, he said.
