Only PMC and government programmes will be allowed at Shaniwar Wada

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has decided not to allow any programmes to be held at Shaniwar Wada. The decision comes after the Elgaar Parishad, where Dalit activist Jignesh Mevani and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student leader Umar Khalid allegedly made provocative remarks which lead to the caste clashes at Koregaon-Bhima, was held there. However, there is no mention of the Elgaar Parishad in the notice about the ban on programmes.
