Thane: Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik has appealed to CM Eknath Shinde to seek that dahi handi be declared a sport in the state which, he said, could help thousands of govindas pursuing the tradition get proper employment under the sports quota.
Sarnaik made the appeal while announcing his dahi handi celebrations that will see a prize of Rs 21 lakh for the troupe that breaks the previous record of a nine-tier human pyramid.
