Revolution day to be celebrated at Margao in restricted manner

18 June 1946, the day when Ram Manohar Lohia had lit the torch of Goa liberation movement at Margao. Freedom fighters celebrate this day with great respect by coming together at Kranti Maidan in Margao. However, first time in last 74 years no speech will be delivered at historic Kranti Maidan. The revolution day will be celebrated in restricted manner adhering to government’s guidelines.

Sec 144 is already in place due to lockdown and freedom fighters have turned old. They are advised not to gather at Kranti Maidan by government on health grounds. The event will be celebrated with few number of people. 18 June Kranti Din Committee president Avinash Shirodkar gave details.
