After miscreants damaged late Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's Hindu Colony residence 'Rajgruha,' which is a revered place for his followers, the state Cabinet has decided to ask the police to protect the historic site 24x7. The cabinet condemned the vandalism at its weekly meeting on Wednesday. On Wednesday, several political leaders such as minister Jitendra Awhad and city BJP president Mangalprabhat Lodha visited the place.

Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said, "The historic site will be provided permanent police protection as per the cabinet's decision. We have also directed the police to arrest the culprits and ensure punishment for them."
