PM Modi hits out at Pak laudss women power In Bhopal Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked the 300th birth anniversary of Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Holkar with a powerful message at a womens empowerment mega-conference. Modi sent a stern warning to Pakistan saying “a bullet will be answered with a cannon.” He hailed women’s strength and said terrorists had underestimated it – a mistake that proved fatal for them.

Digvijaya refuses stage seat sparks political buzz In Jabalpur senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh again refused to sit on stage during the partys Jai Hind Sabha. He chose to remain seated among the public even as former minister Lakhan Ghanghoria tried persuading him. This follows a public snub at a Gwalior event where Singh was denied a stage spot. Since then he has vowed not to appear on any political stage. The silent protest has triggered fresh speculation about internal rifts within the Madhya Pradesh Congress particularly concerning treatment of veteran leaders. Women take maiden ride on Indore Metro Prime Minister Modi virtually inaugurated the much-awaited Indore Metro from Bhopal during the women empowerment event. On the first day women were first passengers to ride the newly launched service. The Metro launch was presented as a symbol of progress and equality. With modern infrastructure and improved urban mobility the government says this move strengthens the focus on inclusive development. The Metro project is expected to transform daily commutes in one of Madhya Pradesh’s busiest cities. Modi opens Satna airport virtually From Jamboree Ground in Bhopal PM Modi virtually inaugurated the new Satna airport. The first flight took off with seven tribal women who travelled from Satna to Rewa singing folk songs onboard. In another launch Modi flagged off a commercial flight from Datia to Khajuraho – with all eight passengers including the pilot being women. The move aims to improve air connectivity in regions like Panna Maihar Chitrakoot and Sidhi. The government says the new airport will boost regional travel tourism and economic activity. Devotee dies of heart attack outside Orchha temple gate A tragic incident occurred during the Pushya Nakshatra at Orchha’s famous Ram Raja Temple. A devotee Janak Baghel collapsed just outside the temple’s main gate. He was rushed to Yatharth Hospital but died during treatment. Police confirmed the cause as a heart attack. The incident highlights the need for better emergency arrangements during high footfall periods at major religious sites. Pilgrims had gathered in large numbers to seek divine blessings on the auspicious day. Major bureaucracy rejig likely after PM’s visit PM Modi’s visit to Bhopal has triggered speculation of administrative reshuffles. Sources say four to five district collectors may be transferred within the next 48 hours. Officers who’ve served more than two years or are not aligned with government priorities are likely to be replaced. Datia’s collector is among those expected to go. CM Mohan Yadav and Chief Secretary Anurag Jain are reviewing the list. In a related move Manish Rastogi may be appointed as Additional Chief Secretary. The changes signal an administrative reset ahead of upcoming political and development goals. Promotion plan sparks protest Sapaks rejects govt proposal The state governments employee promotion proposal is facing strong opposition from SAPAKS. After meeting Chief Secretary Anurag Jain SAPAKS termed the plan unfair to general and backward category officers. Dr. K.S. Tomar of SAPAKS said the current proposal resembles pre-2002 rules struck down by court. Meanwhile AJAKS has supported the draft. The disagreement between the two groups has led to further delays in the promotion process. With no consensus in sight the states administrative machinery could face prolonged policy paralysis on staff advancement.
