Gayatri Devi on dharna against land mafia [1]

BATTLING ODDS: Rajmata Gayatri Devi (right) on a dharna in front of her Royal Palace "Moti Doongri' in Jaipur on Wednesday. Vexed over attempts at encroaching upon the land donated by her for the development of a public park, the former Queen Mother of Jaipur Gayatri Devi on Wednesday sat on a dharna with the residents of the Sanjay Nagar slum cluster located near the Moti Doongri Fort here. Once among the world's most beautiful women, Gayatri Devi, sat for half an hour in the token protest before her well-wishers could persuade her to give up.
