Social activist Vilas Shah had arrived to meet Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis regarding some important matters. However, during the interaction, Shah suddenly started feeling lightheaded, possibly due to the intense heat. Shah had presented a memorandum to Deputy Chief Minister Fadnavis, urging for the closure of the Sonai slaughterhouse located on Mulegaon Tanda Road. In a determined stance, Shah expressed his intention to stage a protest and even threatened to resort to self-harm in front of the district collector's office on August 15 if his plea remained unaddressed.
