Ralegan-Siddhi (Maharashtra): Social activist Anna Hazare has cancelled his proposed 'padyatra' from Wardha to Delhi to oppose the land acquisition bill, an aide said on Tuesday.
"Anna has cancelled the padyatra that was to start on March 30. One reason for the cancellation is the unseasonal rains and hailstorm in many parts of the country," aide Suresh Pathare told IANS.
Hazare, 77, had planned the 1,100-km long march passing through a dozen states. It was to start on March 30 from Gandhi Ashram in Wardha and conclude at Delhi's Ramlila ground around April 30.
Earlier, he was to visit revolutionary leader Bhagat Singh's village in Punjab on the anniversary of his martyrdom on March 23.
