Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Mohol wrote, “The 98th Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan is being organised in the national capital, and this is a matter of pride for all Marathi people. The conference has been organised on 21, 22, and 23 February 2025. Thousands of writers from all over Maharashtra will participate in it. On this occasion, I have requested the Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw ji to arrange a special train between Pune and New Delhi on 19 February 2025 and between New Delhi and Pune on 24 February 2025 for the convenience of the writers.”
