Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Shri Sai said that Panchayati Raj Institutions are the backbone of rural development. As newly elected Presidents and Vice-Presidents of District Panchayats, you have both a significant opportunity and a great responsibility. With strong determination, even one individual can transform the face of an entire district, he remarked. Sharing his own journey, Shri Sai said, Those who serve the people with sincerity and a spirit of public welfare are always supported by the people themselves. I too began my political career as a Panch. I had never imagined that I would enter politics. When I was 10 years old, I lost my father, and the responsibility of my entire family came onto my shoulders. My life has been a story of continuous struggle. I never thought I would even become a Sarpanch, but with the blessings of the people, I eventually had the honour to serve as MLA, MP, and now as Chief Minister. He added that resources are less important than the will to achieve something meaningful. With a mindset focused on public interest, even a single person can accomplish remarkable things. Among the most inspiring individuals I have observed closely are Dr. Achyuta Samanta of Odisha and Nanaji Deshmukh. Dr. Samanta, who grew up amid hardship, dedicated his life to social service and established a large educational institution in Bhubaneswar, where nearly 25,000 tribal children are receiving free education. Similarly, in Chitrakoot, Nanaji Deshmukh adopted 500 villages through Deendayal Research Institute and worked relentlessly for their holistic development. When I visited in 200607, I learned that 80 villages had already become self-reliant, with every family empowered economically. These examples show how much transformative change one individual can bring. Highlighting the potential of Chhattisgarh, the Chief Minister said, Our state is rich in every sense. About 44% of the land is forested. The soil is fertile, and our farmers are hardworking. Naxalism was a major obstacle to our progress, but we are overcoming it. For those Naxals who have surrendered, we have designed an excellent rehabilitation policy. Soon, Chhattisgarh will be free from Naxal violence, and regions like Bastar will have roads, electricity, drinking water, and all basic amenities. Sharing a personal experience, Shri Sai recounted his visit to Muler village in Bastar division. Residents there used to walk 25 km on foot, taking three days just to collect their monthly ration. You can imagine how far behind in development the area was. We decided to create a separate Panchayat for Muler and established a ration shop there. When I visited later, the happiness was evident on the peoples faces. Chief Minister Shri Sai urged the newly elected leaders to make the most of the training. Without developing villages, we cannot build a developed Chhattisgarh. Always ensure that there is no compromise on the quality of development work. Regular field visits and inspections help tighten administration and speed up development. Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma, addressing the participants, said, As Presidents and Vice-Presidents of District Panchayats, you must prepare yourselves thoroughly to discharge your duties effectively. You should have an in-depth understanding of the legal provisions governing Panchayati Raj. Think beyond mere construction worksconsider what other initiatives can drive progress in your villages. Activities such as dairy production help strengthen rural economies. Economic prosperity in villages guides the youth towards constructive pursuits and away from substance abuse. During this training, reflect on the functioning of Gram Panchayats and learn all related processes thoroughly so that you can serve the people better. This training programme will eventually cover 1.7 lakh representatives across all levels of Panchayati Raj Institutions, and today marks the beginning. On this occasion, the Chief Minister also released the PESA: Panchayat Provisions and Chhattisgarh Panchayat Provisions Guidebook, Panchman magazine, and resource material for Presidents, Vice-Presidents, and members of Janpad Panchayats. He also planted a Maulshree sapling in the premises of the Institute. The event was attended by Principal Secretary, Panchayat and Rural Development Department, Smt. Niharika Barik Singh; Secretary Shri Bhim Singh; Director Smt. Priyanka Rishi Mahobia; and Director of the Institute, Shri P.C. Mishra.212506-Jul-2025 9:18:16 amhttps://www.lokmanjari.com/entertainment.php?articleid=2124Raipur, 5 July 2025/Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai has extended warm greetings and best wishes to the people of Chhattisgarh on the auspicious occasion of Devshayani Ekadashi. He expressed hope that the blessings of Lord Shrihari Vishnu would continue to shower peace, happiness and prosperity upon all. Chief Minister Shri Sai noted that Devshayani Ekadashi holds a special significance in Sanatan tradition. According to religious beliefs, on this day Lord Vishnu enters a four-month period of Yog-Nidra known as Chaturmas. During this time, ceremonies like weddings are traditionally deferred, and acts of devotion, penance and charity are considered particularly meritorious. This festival falls on the Ekadashi tithi (11th day) of the bright fortnight of the month of Ashadha. It is also referred to as Hari Shayani Ekadashi, Devshayani Ekadashi, or Ashadhi Ekadashi. Devotees observe fasts, offer prayers and perform special rituals dedicated to Lord Vishnu, seeking the welfare of all beings. As per the Puranas, it is believed that from this day, Lord Vishnu reclines on the cosmic serpent Sheshnag in the Kshir Sagar and remains in yognidra until Prabodhini Ekadashi, four months later. This period is therefore regarded as highly auspicious for spiritual reflection and self-discipline. The Chief Minister urged citizens to observe this sacred occasion with goodwill, restraint and virtuous conduct, and to move forward on the path of collective welfare and personal spiritual growth.212405-Jul-2025 9:16:20 amhttps://www.lokmanjari.com/entertainment.php?articleid=2123Raipur, 5 July 2025 / Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai paid tribute to the great educationist, visionary leader, and eminent nationalist thinker Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee on the occasion of his birth anniversary (6 July), remembering his invaluable contributions to the nation.

We understand that the family of Priya is exploring relevant options. The government is extending all possible help in the matter, MEA added. Priya has been convicted of murdering one Talal Abdo Mahdi, who died in July 2017, after she injected him with sedatives in order to get back her passport from his possession. A look at Nimisha Priya's case: - Nimisha Priya is a nurse from Keralas Palakkad district, who moved to Yemen in 2008 to support her daily-wage labourer parents. - She worked in private hospitals in Yemen for a few years before deciding to set up her own clinic. - In 2014, she came in contact with Talal Abdo Mahdi, who promised to help her in starting her own clinic. Under Yemens law, only nationals are allowed to set up clinics and business firms. She set up a clinic in 2015, with the help of Mahdi. - Tensions arose between her and Mahdi, with Priya alleging abuse, torture, and the confiscation of her passport, effectively stranding her in Yemen. - Reports indicate that Mahdi falsely presented himself as her husband to Yemeni authorities, hindering her ability to seek assistance from them. - With an aim to get her passport which was confiscated by Talal Abdo Mahdi back, she allegedly injected him with sedatives. However, sedation did not affect Mahdi, who was a substance abuser. - She tried sedating him again, using a stronger sedative in order to retrieve her passport but he died within a few minutes due to a drug overdose. - According to The New Indian Express, Nimishas 57-year-old mother, Prema Kumari, had reached Yemens capital Sanaa earlier this year, and has been staying there to secure a waiver of the death penalty and negotiate the blood money with victims family. - Her mother even reached out to the Yemeni Supreme Court against the death sentence, however, it was rejected in 2023. - Reports said Priya was handed capital punishment by a trial court in 2020 and Yemen's Supreme Judicial Council upheld the verdict in November 2023. The situation has taken a critical turn with President Rashad al-Alimi's recent approval of the death sentence. In response to media queries regarding the case of Nimisha Priya, MEA official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, We are aware of the sentencing of Nimisha Priya in Yemen. We understand that the family of Priya is exploring relevant options. The government is extending all possible help in the matter.174531-Dec-2024 2:10:15 pmhttps://www.lokmanjari.com/entertainment.php?articleid=1742Karti Chidambaram, Congress MP from Sivaganga, has called for an end to the "tyranny of KYC" after a tragic incident in Uttar Pradesh highlighted the ordeal faced by customers during Know Your Customer (KYC) verification processes. In a tweet on Tuesday, he said: "I flagged this harassment faced by all during my intervention in the Banking Amendment Bill debate. When nothing has changed, why should customers constantly 'update' their KYC? This KYC updation is a vicious business where certain firms profiteer from the outsourced contracts." Chidambaram's statement came in response to independent journalist Kunal Purohit's report of a 59-year-old man in Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh, who collapsed and died after standing in line for four days outside an Indian Bank branch to complete his KYC verification. Purohit shared the details in a tweet: "The cost of mindless exercises like KYC verification: A 59-year-old stood in the queue for 3 days outside his Indian Bank branch in UP's Sonbhadra. 4th day, he collapses and dies outside the bank, waiting for his KYC verification. Bank had said no fund transfer without KYC. Worse, when he collapsed, the bank rushed his family out of the branch rather than helping him." Reacting to the post, a social media user called KYC a 'mindless exercise;, which is wasting large amount of time, money and effort. "KYC is now an industry in itself. While other countries are scaling their tech operations, we are generating KYC employment by putting regular folks in trouble." According to the report, Ramman (59) was troubled with withdrawing money and completing KYC formalities at an Indian Bank branch in Kacharnava, Sonbhadra. After several days of running around, he was standing in line at the branch on Friday, waiting for his turn, when he suddenly collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness. The report, citing people, said that the branch manager had clearly stated that no transactions would be allowed until the KYC was completed. The deceased had been visiting the bank and standing in line for the past four days, but the bank staff often cited issues like a non-functional server or other problems, asking him to come back the next day. Three days passed in this manner, but the KYC process remained incomplete. On Friday, Ramman suddenly collapsed in the bank premises. Upon seeing this, a bank employee remarked, "Take him away immediately, or you'll get us into trouble."174231-Dec-2024 1:55:11 pmhttps://www.lokmanjari.com/entertainment.php?articleid=1741Deputy chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, actorPawan Kalyanhas finally spoken about thePushpa 2stampede case, for which Allu Arjun was arrested earlier this month on December 13. The Telangana High Court granted him interim bail for four weeks and he was released from the jail on December 14. Now, as per a report onNDTV, Pawan Kalyan was speaking to press at Mangalagiri, where he shared his thoughts on the matter. (Also read:Pawan Kalyan visibly irritated when asked about Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 stampede case: Go beyond cinema) What Pawan said Pawan said, The law is equal for all, and I do not blame the police in such incidents, they act with public safety in mind. That said, the theater staff should have informed Allu Arjun earlier about any issues. Once he sat in the seat, they should have instructed him to vacate it if necessary. It would have been better if someone had visited the victim's family earlier on behalf of Allu Arjun. Revathi's death in this incident has deeply shocked me. They turned what was already lost into an even greater tragedy. 'Everyone should have gone to Revathi's house' He added, We should have conveyed earlier that we are all here to support the family. There should have been a sense of regret for the mistake, even if it happened without their direct involvement. There is a clear lack of humanity in this matter. Everyone should have gone to Revathi's house to offer reassurance and condolences. The people's anger stems from the absence of such a gesture. Arjun, too, feels the pain of knowing that someone lost their life because of this incident. It is not fair to make Allu Arjun solely responsible for the incident. Telangana CM Revanth Reddy, in his capacity as Chief Minister, responded appropriately to the developments following the stampede. Sometimes, decisions are dictated by circumstances. In the past, even Chiranjeevi used to watch movies with his fans. Otherwise, he would wear a mask and go to the theater alone.174131-Dec-2024 1:52:56 pmhttps://www.lokmanjari.com/entertainment.php?articleid=1728But, this did not last long. His latest break has once again raised questions over his ability to be a committed neta. And the comparison to the prime minister is inevitable. Everyone is entitled to a holiday, even Rahul Gandhi. But, the timing of these breaks is what is questioned the most when he does take them.The latest being another foreign trip while the country and the Congress are mourning the death of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. And, this in the face of the fact that the Grand Old Party is making a massive hue and cry over his memorial and last rites. This is not the first time, however, that Gandhi has raised eyebrows with his oddly-timed foreign trips. In 2019, which was an eventful year, he was missing in action during the anti-CAA protests. When elections were held in Maharashtra and Haryana that year, he was mostly away with Priyanka Gandhi filling in. Or even during the winter session, when the farm laws were being discussed. But, the break that raised the most eyebrows, was when he disappeared for about 15 days when the Congress lost the election in 2014. Later, it was learnt that he was on a vipassana trip to Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia. The party said he had gone to work out a strategy, but nothing changed after that.When the Special Protection Group (Amendment) Bill, 2019, was being discussed in Parliament, and the Congress opposed it saying taking it away will be a security threat, the Union home minister said Gandhi had gone abroad 247 times between 2014 and 2019; and that, too, without informing anyone as he was under the special protection group (SPG) and had not taken it along. The BJP said even when he went on official overseas trips for seminars, he would stay back a couple of days and these were an excuse for a holiday. Like this time, when he went to the United States his first trip as Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha he stayed back and only few in the party knew about it. Not just this, many questions are raised about his planned tours as well. For example, him attending a wedding on the last day of the winter session when the Congress was protesting over the Ambedkar issue. For the BJP, it has been easy to carve out an image of Gandhi as a non-serious neta who prefers to holiday. The Bharat Jodo Yatra sought to change this, and it did for a while when he was seen as a politician who travelled across the country on foot without a break. But, this did not last long. His latest break has once again raised questions over his ability to be a committed neta. And the comparison to the prime minister is inevitable.172831-Dec-2024 12:56:06 pmhttps://www.lokmanjari.com/entertainment.php?articleid=1721Receiving President's Colour is a matter of great pride for an armed force; Chhattisgarh Police has earned this honor within 25 years of its establishment Chhattisgarh Police receiving President's Colour Award is a symbol of their hard work, bravery and dedication Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Chhattisgarh will be completely free of Naxalism by March 31, 2026 In the fight against Naxalites, during the past year, security forces have neutralized 287 and arrested 1,000 Naxalites, whereas 837 Naxalites have surrendered In order to realize the dream of a Naxal-free and drug-free India, Chhattisgarh Police has taken its role to new heights with passion, faith and dedication Chhattisgarh's huge contribution in Prime Minister Modi's dream of building a developed India by 2047 will be etched in golden letters Due to the strict policy of the Modi government against Naxalism, for the first time in 4 decades, the death toll of civilians and security forces has come down below 100 Union Home Minister appeals to the Naxalites to leave the path of violence and join the mainstream of society and contribute to the development of Chhattisgarh Union Home Minister pays tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on his death anniversary; Sardar sahab's indomitable courage and determination unified this country Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi completed Sardar sahab's unfinished work, and by abrogating Article 370, he unified Kashmir with India forever Raipur 30 December/Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah presented the prestigious 'President's Colour' to the Chhattisgarh Police in Raipur today, marking the first day of his visit to the state.

Shri Shah highlighted that for the first time in four decades, the death toll of civilians and security personnel due to Naxal violence has fallen below 100, attributing this to the Modi governments stringent policies against Naxalism. He further stated that over the last decade under PM Modis leadership, Naxalism has been effectively curbed, resulting in a 73% reduction in security personnel casualties and a 70% decline in civilian deaths compared to the previous decade. The Home Minister also commended the Chhattisgarh Police for joining forces with other security agencies to deliver a decisive blow to Naxalism in the past year. Additionally, he pointed out that several developmental projects have been carried out in Chhattisgarh under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. Shri Amit Shah stated that the first Presidents Colour was awarded to the Indian Navy in 1951, and today, any armed force must complete 25 years of service to be eligible for this prestigious honour. He expressed gratitude to the President of India for recognizing and honoring the 25 years of service, dedication, sacrifice, and commitment of the Chhattisgarh Police. Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Central Government and the State Government are committed to completely eliminating Naxalism from Chhattisgarh by March 31, 2026. He urged Naxalites to abandon the path of violence, join the mainstream of society, and contribute to the development of Chhattisgarh by moving forward on the path of progress. He also highlighted that the Chhattisgarh Government has implemented an excellent surrender policy, which provides for the rehabilitation of every Naxalite who surrenders.
