    Maharashtra’s Budget: Building Memorials to Honor Legendary Leaders

    Maharashtra’s Finance Minister Ajit Pawar presented his 11th state budget in the assembly on Monday. He announced plans to build several memorials in Maharashtra and beyond, highlighting the state’s tourism policy that aims to invest Rs 1 lakh crore in the tourism sector over the next 10 years.

    One notable project is a grand statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, which will be built in Agra. This location is special because it is where Shivaji Maharaj famously escaped from Aurangzeb’s captivity in 1666, an event that boosted his legendary status.

    In Pune, Rs 50 crore will go towards the Shivsrushti project, which will honor Shivaji Maharaj by creating a cultural and educational site in Ambegaon. Another memorial for his son, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, will be built in Sangameshwar, where he battled the Portuguese and Mughals before he was captured and killed.

    Pawar also mentioned that a memorial in Panipat, Haryana will honor the Maratha warriors who fought bravely in the Third Battle of Panipat in 1761, helping to remember their sacrifices. Additionally, funding will be given for a special international memorial for Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar at Chaityabhoomi in Mumbai.

    Moreover, a grand memorial for former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee will be built in Mumbai as part of his birth centenary celebrations. The second phase of the Balasaheb Thackeray National Memorial in Mumbai will receive Rs 220 crore.

    Finally, a memorial and a women’s training center will be set up at Savitribai Phule’s birthplace in Naigaon, Satara. Funding will also be allocated for a memorial in honor of Sahityaratna Lokshahir Annabhau Sathe at Wategaon, Sangli district.

  • Controversy Erupts Over Gulmarg Fashion Show During Ramadan in Kashmir

    Controversy Erupts Over Gulmarg Fashion Show During Ramadan in Kashmir

    Jammu and Kashmir’s Grand Mufti, Nasir-ur-Islam, has strongly criticized a fashion show held in Gulmarg during the holy month of Ramadan. He called it a “cultural invasion” because it featured models in skiwear walking in a way that many found inappropriate. The mufti said, “This is not acceptable. It goes against our traditions and religious values. The government must take legal action against those responsible.”

    The fashion show upset many people, including religious leaders and politicians. Jammu and Kashmir’s Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, has ordered an investigation into the event. After the backlash, the designers, Shivan & Narresh, apologized for any hurt caused by their show, saying their intention was to celebrate creativity and skiing culture. They said in a statement, “We respect all cultures and traditions and we are sorry for any discomfort we unintentionally caused.”

    Kashmir’s chief priest, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, also called the show “outrageous” on social media. Abdullah agreed, saying the fashion show showed no respect for local feelings, especially during the holy month. He assured that his office is looking into it, and appropriate actions will follow.

    Abdullah pointed out that it was a private event that did not have government approval. He emphasized that the organizers did not consider the local feelings or the timing of the event. He said that if laws were broken, the police would investigate further.

    Tragic Death of Young Traveler in Hampi: A Call for Tourist Safety

    A young traveler named Bhibas Nayak, who was only 26 years old, sadly lost his life after being pushed into a canal. This incident is linked to a terrible crime in Hampi, Karnataka. Nayak’s cousin shared that he loved to explore new places, meet new people, and go on adventures. Whenever he had time off work, he would plan trips—usually four times a year. His funeral took place on Sunday in his hometown in Odisha’s Kandhamal district.

    What Happened in Hampi?
    On the night of March 6, two women, one of whom was from Israel, were attacked by three men near a historical site in Hampi. A brave 29-year-old woman, who ran a homestay, was one of the victims who managed to survive the horrible experience. She said the men approached them while they were enjoying a night of music and stargazing, asking for petrol. When the victims refused to give them more money, the situation turned violent.

    The woman described how the men took her bag, which had two mobile phones and ₹9,500 in cash. “While we were yelling for help, they rode away on their motorcycle,” she reported.

    Police later arrested the third suspect in Chennai and took him to Karnataka. Koppal’s Superintendent of Police, Ram Arasiddi, stated that all legal processes would be followed, and the man might be taken into custody for questioning.

    Government Response
    Karnataka’s Minister HK Patil called the incident very unfortunate and promised to improve safety for tourists in the area. He said, “It’s very sad that such a crime happened in Hampi. The government is taking serious actions to hold those responsible accountable and to support the victims.”

    Why Are Stocks Dropping? Understand the Reasons Behind the Trends

    After a brief period of recovery, stock markets are feeling pressure again. Right now, it’s important to understand why a stock price is dropping. Is it because big markets like Nifty and Sensex are going down? Or is it due to something that’s happening with a particular company or industry? Knowing whether the price drop is just part of a larger trend or if it’s caused by specific problems can help you figure out when the stock might bounce back as the situation improves. Stocks that are falling just because the overall market is down might recover faster when the mood picks up again.

  • Vape Battery Explosion: Dorset Woman’s Painful Journey to Recovery

    Vape Battery Explosion: Dorset Woman’s Painful Journey to Recovery

    A 35-year-old woman named Kerri Absolom from Dorset had a very scary and painful experience when a vape battery exploded in her pocket. It happened one morning right before she was about to go to work. Kerri noticed smoke coming from her clothes and, when she checked, she saw sparks flying from the battery. Shocked, she realized she had a severe burn on her leg.

    Kerri’s husband, Christopher, tried to help her pull her pants off as the situation got worse. Suddenly, the battery fell onto their dog’s bed and melted through it into the carpet below. They heard hissing sounds as the hot battery caused more problems. Christopher quickly called for an ambulance.

    Firefighters arrived and took Kerri outside to cool her burning leg with water. They also removed the still-hot battery from the house to prevent a bigger fire.

    Doctors later found out that the battery exploded because it touched Kerri’s keys, which acted like a conductor. She had to go to the hospital with third-degree burns and received strong pain medicine to help her through the pain. Kerri had to stay in the hospital for a week.

    While healing, she had a skin graft to help her recover and reduce scarring. But the recovery was very painful, making it hard for Kerri to even shower. She also had allergic reactions to her medication and struggled to sleep because of her ongoing pain and fear.

    This whole experience made it difficult for her mentally, leading to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She had to take time off work to heal and recover from both her physical and emotional injuries.

    Hardik Pandya Leads India to Champions Trophy Victory

    Dubai – Hardik Pandya stepped up to bowl for India in the Champions Trophy when Jasprit Bumrah was not available. Despite his new role, he kept his fighting spirit and adjusted well. In the tournament, India relied mainly on spinners, so Pandya only bowled 24.3 overs in five matches, taking four wickets. He commented, “Bowling will take care of itself. This year was all about learning and facing challenges. I never run away from tough situations. If challenges come, I face them head-on. As long as I stay in the game, I have a chance.”

    After India’s victory, Pandya expressed that he has been quietly working hard to improve his game. “I always believe in myself and know that hard work pays off. The way you prepare shows in your performance,” he stated. Winning this tournament also helped him forget the disappointment of losing to Pakistan in the 2017 edition, where he was also a player. He said, “Today, I feel like a long-hidden dream has come true. Eight years is a long time, and many things have changed, but winning for India means everything to me. It’s not just about me; it’s about the team’s success that matters most.”
