Rahul's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event in Pune gets nod with 30 conditions; CM reacts

Maharashtra's Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's upcoming event, 'Chhatron Ki Goonj,' scheduled for August 22 in Pune, describing it as a monologue rather than a dialogue with students. The police have granted permission for the event with 30 conditions attached, including a ban on "objectionable" banners and images, and ensuring religious sentiments are not hurt during the program.

The event, dedicated to female students, will focus on education, safety, equality, competitive exams, and career opportunities. It is expected to draw an audience of around 8,000 to 10,000 people at the SSPMS College ground near RTO Chowk. Among the conditions, organizers must ensure no illegal activity disrupts law and order and comply with various state and central government regulations.
