Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today paid tributes to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India's first Home Minister, on the occasion of his 141st birth anniversary, which is also observed as National Unity Day.
"Paid humble tributes to one of the greatest leaders Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on his birth anniversary," he said in a tweet.

It started from NCPA in south Mumbai and ended at the Grant Medical College Gymkhana Ground, covering a distance of around three km.
