<br/>The Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan will meet Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in New Delhi today with an all party delegation to request him to declare disputed area Belgaum as Union Territory till the issue is settled by Supreme Court. The Shiv Sena is also backing the demand. The demand came even as government buses of Maharashtra and Karnataka continued to be targeted over the vexed Belgaum issue, forcing the authorities to stop inter-state services for 48 hours. <br/><br/>The long-pending dispute between Maharashtra and Karnataka over Belgaum got revived after the Centre's affidavit in the Supreme Court that the area could not become a part of Maharashtra just because most of the people there spoke Marathi.
