Important Points

• During Civil Disobedience Movement, Gandhiji was arrested on May 4, 1930 when he had announced that he would lead a raid on Dharsana Salt Works on the west coast.
• His arrest was followed by massive protests in Bombay, Delhi, Calcutta and in Solapur, where the response was the fiercest.
• After Gandhi‘s arrest, the Congress Working Committee sanctioned:
  • non-payment of revenue in Ryotwari areas, 
  • no-chowkidara tax campaign in zamindari areas - In Bihar, a campaign was organised for refusal to pay chowkidara tax and a call was given for resignation of chowkidars and influential members of chowlcidari panchayat who appointed these chowkidars. At Bengal, Anti-chowkidar tax and anti-union board tax campaign were met with repression and confiscation of property. Hence statement 3 is correct.
  • violation of forest laws in the Central Provinces. Hence statement 4 is correct.
• In the United Provinces, Non-revenue campaign by Zamindars against paying revenue to the government and a No-Rent Campaign by tenants against Zamindars. Hence statement 1 and 2 are correct.
• In Maharashtra, Karnataka and Central Provinces, the forest laws were defied.
