Youths from Maval stage adventure, hang 30 feet banner from 800 feet cliff for Ajit Pawar’s Chief Ministership (Video)
Pune: Youths from Maval have tried to attract people’s attention in a novel manner. They have hung a 30-ft banner from the 800-ft precipice, Nagphani Kada (Duke’s Nose), to wish the Chief Minister’s post for NCP (AP) President Ajit Pawar and a ministerial berth for NCP (AP) MLA Sunil Shelke.
The Maha Yuti won the State Assembly elections by bagging 135 seats, a historic win. People are discussing who would be the Chief Minister of the State. In this backdrop, his supporters have expressed their wish that Ajit Pawar should become the next Chief Minister. Therefore, they staged the feat.
Nagphani Kada or Duke’s Nose is among the toughest of the cliffs in Maharashtra for climbers. It is located in the forest near Lonavala in Pune district. A climb on the precipice without enough experience and safe climbing equipment is next to impossible.
However, the young mountaineers accomplished the adventure for a prestigious place for their leaders having a vision for development. Maval-based mountaineers Narayan Malpote, Nitin Pingale, Vishal Gopale, Ajit Gopale and Pandurang Jachak took part in the climb.
There are many such tough cliffs in the Sahyadri ranges, which pose a challenge to experienced climbers, who successfully summit them by fighting against nature’s odds. The adventurers from Maval climbed the 800-ft cliff, Nagphani Kada, facing gusty wind and raised the 30-ft banner successfully.
