They wondered why the North Stand was not made available to them by the authorities.
MCA secretary Ajinkya Naik revealed that if required they will open the stand for the public for the remainder of the five-day affair. “So far, we have made arrangements for the general public at Vijay Merchant Pavilion and MCA Pavilion.
