The launching of the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1930 is an important landmark in the history of Bombay and its suburbs. A series of raids on the Wadala salt deports which were under government control was an important part of the Salt Satyagraha Campaign in the Bombay Suburban area. The raids on 16 April, 18 May, 25 May, and 1 June 1930 were noteworthy. The raid of June at Wadala was the most spectacular action in Bombay during Salt Satyagraha. About Fifteen thousand disciplined volunteers participated in the demonstrations. Lashmansingh Kisansingh was one of the Satyagrahis who participated in the Salt Satyagraha as part of the Civil Disobedience Movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930.
From 16 April to 1 June 1930 large number of satyagrahis used to gather at Wadala, in the neighborhood of Mumbai, in defiance of the law, use to make salt without paying tax on it as part of their agitation, and, as a consequence, get mercilessly beaten and get arrested by the police.
Lashmansingh Kisansingh participated in one such ‘raid on the Wadala Salt Pans’ and was arrested on 16 June 1930. He was convicted on 16 June 1930. He was charged with section 4 of Ordinance V of 1930 of the I.P.C and sentenced to 4 months of rigorous imprisonment.
