A large number of citizens of the constituency were also present.
After discussing the issues with Tingre and the delegation, Additional Commissioner Dhakne assured them that the municipal administration is positive about solving the issues raised by Tingre. The administration also gave a written statement regarding the timeframe in which the issues will be resolved. Finally, after receiving the written assurance, Tingre ended his fast by taking lemon water from the hands of Deputy Commissioner Sachin Ithape and NCP City President Jagtap.
