Mumbaikars March for NEET Accountability
In Mumbai, India, a large group of people, including students, parents, and local residents, marched to protest the NEET paper leak and demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The protest started at Shivaji Park, where people had been gathering for the past four days.
Despite being denied permission to protest, around 1,500 people marched through the city, expressing their solidarity with the Jantar Mantar protest.
The march was largely peaceful, with some police presence and a few critics.
The protesters were supported by local residents and even some police officers, who questioned the need for such a large deployment.
The march concluded at Shivaji Park, with plans to gather again on July 24, despite a Section 144 enforcement by the police.
