JanLokpal Maha Rally in Thane
Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare launched on August 16, 2011, a 12-day fast at the Ramlila Grounds in New Delhi for the speedy implementation of the Lokpal Bill. This stirred off rallies in his support all over the country. One such procession was held in Thane on August 21, 2011 when thousands of Thaneites took to the street and braving rain, walked the 10-odd kilometres from Hiranandani Estate to Talaopali.
