Police have registered an FIR against the organisers of an event during the ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ of Union minister Kapil Patil for alleged violation of Covid-19 norms, an official said on Wednesday.

As part of tours by some newly-inducted Union ministers in different parts of Maharashtra to reach out to people, MoS for Panchayati Raj and Bhiwandi MP Kapil Patil on Monday joined the yatra in Thane where hundreds of BJP activists welcomed him, while members of the Agri and Koli communities danced and sang songs.
