Eradicate practice of 'ghoonghat': Gehlot

Speaking in the Assembly during the Question and Answer session, Khandre was responding to Leader of the Opposition R Ashok who said that over 4,000 people had lost their jobs due to the suspension of safaris. Safaris have been going on across the country for many years and it is not right to stop safaris suddenly without conducting a survey, he said.

Former Rajasthan Chief Minister and Congress leader Ashok Gehlot on Thursday led a silent march organised by Bharat Seva Sansthan to commemorate the anniversary of the 1930 'Dandi March'.

"The deepening crisis in the supply of cooking gas (LPG) in the country due to the war in the Gulf countries is extremely alarming. It is unfortunate that the Modi government remains as negligent and insensitive as ever regarding this potential national crisis. The central government's inability to assess the situation in time is a clear case of 'collective failure'," Gelhot wrote in a post on X.

According to an official statement from the Chief Minister's office, "sacred land of the Ganga River, Yamuna River, the Char Dham, Adi Kailash and several revered Shakti Peeths, Uttarakhand has long been a center of faith for Sanatan followers across the world. In this context, the state government is making efforts to promote Uttarakhand as a major hub for religious and spiritual tourism and pilgrimage, which is also expected to boost economic activities in the state."

The projects include the construction of the Sainthia-Pakur 4th line and the Santragachi-Kharagpur 4th line, aimed at increasing line capacity and improving the operational efficiency and service reliability of Indian Railways.
