The persons died of sunstroke and dehydration but the Eknath Shinde-led government was trying to hide the numbers, a delegation of the Uddhav Thackeray-led group told Governor Ramesh Bais.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Monday sought a high-level probe into the death of 14 persons at the Maharashtra Bhushan award ceremony in Navi Mumbai's Kharghar.
The persons died of sunstroke and dehydration but the Eknath Shinde-led government was trying to hide the numbers, a delegation of the Uddhav Thackeray-led group told Maharashtra Governor Ramesh Bais.
The delegation, led by Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council Ambadas Danve, also asked the governor to ensure that homicide cases are registered against those responsible for the tragedy.
"This is a man-made tragedy and the image of the state has been tarnished due to it," the delegation said in a memorandum submitted to Governor Bais.
