Army to take out flag march in Ahmedabad

The army is being deployed in violence-hit Ahmedabad and a flag march will be carried out soon, an army spokesperson said on Wednesday.

"Army has been requisitioned for controlling situation in Ahmedabad city. They are preparing to move troops out soon to do a flag march through the affected areas," the spokesperson said.

A state-wide shutdown was observed in Gujarat on Wednesday, a day after a Patidar mega-rally was held here demanding reservations in education and jobs for the Patel community.
