  "account": "Nashik witnessed the commencement of the \"Ulgulan\" (Revolt) march by tribal students on Thursday morning, aiming to address various demands. The fifth day of the march saw the group moving towards Shahapur taluka in Thane district after a day-long journey from Ghoti. The march continued from Shahapur towards Mumbai, with a slight increase in the number of students compared to the previous day. The Dashmesh Gurudwara provided meals to the students after they left Ghoti before resuming their journey.\n\nThe students crossed the border between Nashik and Thane districts, entering Shahapur taluka. There were rumors that the Tribal Development Minister had spoken to the students on the phone; however, some students refuted this claim, maintaining their stance on their demands. Despite the recent abundant rainfall across Maharashtra, several areas still face water stress.\n\nThe students remain steadfast in their demand for the resignation of the Tribal Development Minister, emphasizing that the march towards Mumbai will persist until this demand is met. Student activists have planned a massive rally at Azad Maidan in Mumbai on October 5, with thousands of students expected to join. The police have taken strict security measures along the route, including traffic management and security arrangements, as the march proceeds along its predetermined path. The \"Ulgulan Long March\" is currently ongoing in Shahapur taluka, with the students firmly determined to gather at Azad Maidan on October 5.",
