Continuing its new initiatives, Vidarbha Connect (VCan), an apolitical forum of citizens from all walks of life, submitted a representation to the additional collector Panjabrao Wankhede, for creation of Vidarbha state on Monday. The representation was addressed to President of India Pranab Mukherjee, Maharashtra governor K Sankaranarayanan and chief minister Prithviraj Chavan.
The delegation of about 50 members was led by VCan president Mukesh Samarth and convenor of the project Trisharan Sahare. Anand Kajgikar and Prof Javed Sheikh were the other directors who executed the project to perfection.
