People surged forward in large numbers to join the satyagrahis at different places.Gandhiji and his followers finally reached Dandi after a 241-mile long march. After picking up a lump of natural salt on the sea-shore, Gandhiji issued the statement, Now that the technical or ceremonial breach of the salt law has been committed, it is now open to any one who would take the risk of prosecution under the salt law to manufacture salt wherever he wishes and wherever it is convenient. The villager should be fully instructed as to the incidence of the salt tax and the manner of breaking the laws and regulations connected with it so as to have the salt tax repealed.The defiance of Salt Laws became symbolic of the power of Satyagraha.
