Navi Mumbai: A Rath Yatra was flagged off to garner public support for the August 5 "Chalo Jantar Mantar" protest in New Delhi, demanding that the Navi Mumbai International Airport be named after the late social activist Dinkar Balu Patil.
Organisers said the agitation has entered a decisive phase as the proposal to name the airport after Patil, despite being unanimously passed by both Houses of the Maharashtra Legislature, has been awaiting approval from the Centre for the past three years.

They claimed the delay has fuelled resentment among residents and project-affected people across the five coastal districts of the Konkan region. To intensify the campaign, a one-day symbolic protest has been planned at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on August 5.
