Thane:
Over 100 tribals were detained by Thane police on Monday while they were moving towards the sub-divisional officer's premises in Maharashtra's Thane as part of a protest demanding forest rights, caste certificates, and other amenities, an official said.
Those detained were allowed to go later, while a delegation of tribals under NGO Shramjivi Sanghatana met Sub Divisional Officer Avinash Shinde to submit a memorandum containing their demands, which include looking into 1,200 forest rights applications pending with the department, he said.
