On october 1, 1994, winter had arrived and the movement's fervor had grown. The group of protestors advanced while yelling signs calling for an independent Uttarakhand. From the hilly regions, a few agitators boarded 24 buses and headed for delhi who were halted at the borders of Narsan and Roorkee, respectively. But the protesters continued and continued forward. The administration and police were trying in vain to stop them. It was then decided to halt them once more at the Rampur crossroads.
