DALGAON, Oct 3: On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, Bechimari Anchalik Jatiya Vidyalaya organised a reenactment of the historic Dandi March, capturing the attention of common people in the region. Following the homage paid to Mahatma Gandhi, a group of artists, including school students, reenacted the historic Dandi March, starting from the school and proceeding along NH 15.
The March passed through the market area and visited various schools, government, and non-government institutions. The reenactment aimed to remind people of the Dandi March, during which Mahatma Gandhi began his journey from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad to Dandi, a coastal town in Gujarat. It was during this march that Gandhi inaugurated the Civil Disobedience Movement by symbolically picking up a handful of salt in Dandi.
