| The residents of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s native place Karamsad today sat on a fast unto death, demanding special status for the town by including it under the centrally-sponsored Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNRUM). Around 10 residents sat on the hunger strike near Sardar Patel’s statue in Karamsad town in Anand district since morning, while many other locals gathered near the venue to press for the demand, said Rashesh Patel, a leading agitator. He said that Karamsad’s identity as the native place of Sardar Patel, India’s first Home Minister, would fade away with time if the Centre does not include the town under its JNNRUM scheme. “We have been demanding that Karamsad must be given a special status for being the native place of the country’s Iron Man,” he said. “Porbandar, the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, got this status many years back, but Karamsad, having a population of 40,000, is not given that status yet. That is why all the residents. |

| Hours after a single judge of the Madras High Court granted permission to farmers leader P Ayyakannu to go on a fast on Marina beach in Chennai, a Division Bench of the High Court on Saturday evening passed an interim order banning protest at Marina.

Zila Parishad member Harbhajan Khalwara, and sarpanches of Khalwara, Dhak Pandori, Fatehgarh and Balalon villages took part in the sit-in.
