February 19, 2024 – Vibrant celebration of the birth anniversary of the revered Maratha warrior king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the premises of Maharashtra Sadan in Delhi came alive with cultural fervor and traditional zeal. Maharashtra Sadan, a significant representation of Maharashtrian culture in the heart of the nation’s capital, witnessed spirited commemorations on the occasion of Shivaji Jayanti.

The Maharashtra Sadan in Delhi became a hub of enthusiasm as people gathered to mark the auspicious day with traditional dance, music, and festive decorations. The air echoed with the sounds of celebrations as participants showcased their reverence for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj through dance performances and musical renditions.

Meanwhile, in Pune, Maharashtra, the birthplace of Shivaji Maharaj, dignitaries paid homage at the historic Shivneri Fort. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, along with Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, participated in various programs to honor the legendary warrior king. The cradle ceremony, a symbolic tradition marking the birth of Shivaji Maharaj, was among the key events attended by the leaders.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, born in 1630 at Shivneri in Pune district’s Junnar tehsil, holds a significant place in Indian history for his valor, administrative acumen, and commitment to justice. His birth anniversary, celebrated as Shivaji Jayanti, is an occasion of immense cultural and historical importance, not only in Maharashtra but also resonating in Maharashtra Sadan, New Delhi.

The celebration at Maharashtra Sadan showcased the vibrant and inclusive cultural heritage of Maharashtra, bringing together people from different walks of life. The festivities included traditional dances like Lavani, showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of the state.

Shivaji Jayanti is not merely a celebration of history but also a testament to the enduring legacy of a leader who inspired generations with his courage, administrative brilliance, and commitment to justice. The commemoration at Maharashtra Sadan in Delhi serves as a bridge, connecting the spirit of Maharashtra with the diverse cultural landscape of the national capital.

As both Delhi and Pune reverberated with the echoes of Shivaji Jayanti, the celebrations stand as a testament to the unifying power of culture and history, transcending geographical boundaries.

Prohibitory Orders Enforced in Noida Ahead of Farmers’ Bharat Bandh

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com

The Bharat Bandh called by farmers’ unions, including the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), and Gautam Buddh Nagar Police in Noida have imposed prohibitory orders under CrPC Section 144. The restrictions, encompassing a ban on unauthorized public assemblies, are set to be enforced across the district on Friday. The move comes as various farmers’ organizations, citing unmet demands, plan protest marches and demonstrations.

The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), a constituent of the SKM, had earlier announced a Bharat Bandh scheduled for February 16. The Noida-based Bharatiya Kisan Parishad (BKP) has also pledged its support to the day-long strike. As part of the enforcement measures, Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) is invoked, prohibiting unlawful assemblies of five or more individuals, unauthorized processions, or demonstrations—whether political or religious—in public spaces.

The order also includes restrictions on the use of private drones within a one-kilometer radius of government establishments. Additionally, it prohibits individuals from carrying items such as sticks, rods, tridents, swords, firearms, and similar objects in public places during the specified period.

Gautam Buddh Nagar Police issued a traffic advisory, informing commuters about intensive checks at all Noida-Delhi borders, causing potential disruptions in vehicular movement. To mitigate the inconvenience, citizens are urged to utilize metro rail services for travel to and from Delhi. The advisory also notes restrictions on the movement of goods vehicles along specific routes, with alternative pathways suggested to alleviate traffic congestion.

BKU leader Pawan Khatana emphasized that farmers participating in the Bharat Bandh are encouraged to refrain from agricultural activities and market visits for the day. Traders and transporters have been urged to join the strike in solidarity.

Expressing concerns over the impact of frequent farmer movements on business activities, Sushil Kumar Jain, President of Noida’s Sector 18 Market Association, called for dialogue between protesting farmers and the government to swiftly address the issues at hand. The BKP, concurrently protesting against local authorities functioning under the state government, announced their support for the Bharat Bandh, with plans to gather outside the NTPC office in Sector 24 during the strike.

Extended Budget Session: Parliament to Witness White Paper on Pre and Post-2014 Economic Conditions. See what’s more

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com

In a fiery session of the Parliament Budget Session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the floor to respond to the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address in Rajya Sabha. Unleashing a barrage of criticisms, Modi accused the Congress of compromising national security and creating divisive narratives.

The Prime Minister didn’t hold back, directly addressing the Congress party’s past governance and alleging land concessions to adversaries. He further accused the Congress of attempting to sow a “north-south divide” in the nation. Modi’s sharp remarks also targeted Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge’s ‘400 paar’ speech and referenced Mamata Banerjee’s prediction of a meager seat count for Congress in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Earlier, Modi had presented his reply in the Lok Sabha on Monday, expressing confidence that the NDA, led by the BJP, would secure over 400 seats, with the BJP alone claiming 370.

The Parliament’s Budget Session has been extended until February 10, facilitating the presentation of a White Paper to compare the state of the Indian economy before and after 2014.

In recent legislative actions, the Rajya Sabha passed the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2024, and the Constitution (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) Orders (Amendment) Bill, 2024. Simultaneously, the Lok Sabha approved a bill addressing malpractices in competitive exams, introducing stringent penalties, including a maximum jail term of 10 years and fines up to ₹1 crore.

As part of the Republic Day celebrations, the ‘Beating Retreat’ ceremony is set to take place today at the iconic Vijay Chowk in New Delhi. Featuring music bands from the Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), the event promises to showcase 31 captivating Indian tunes.

Kicking off with the Shankhnaad tune by the massed band, the ceremony will enchant spectators with melodies like ‘Veer Bharat,’ ‘Sangam Dur,’ ‘Deshon ka Sartaj Bharat,’ and ‘Bhagirathi’ performed by the Pipes and Drums band. The CAPF bands will contribute tunes including ‘Bharat Ke Jawan’ and ‘Vijay Bharat.’ Meanwhile, the Indian Air Force band will present ‘Tiger Hill,’ ‘Rejoice in Raisina,’ and ‘Swadeshi,’ while the Indian Navy band will delight the audience with renditions such as ‘INS Vikrant,’ ‘Mission Chandrayaan,’ ‘Jai Bharati,’ and ‘Hum Tayyar Hain.’ The Indian Army band will captivate with tunes like ‘Faulad Ka Jigar,’ ‘Agniveer,’ ‘Kargil 1999,’ and ‘Taqat Watan.’ The grand finale will feature the Massed Bands performing ‘Kadam Kadam Badhaye Ja,’ ‘Aye Mere Watan Ke Logon,’ and ‘Drummers Call,’ concluding with the beloved melody of ‘Sare Jahan se Acha.’

The tradition of Beating Retreat dates back to the early 1950s, credited to Major Roberts of the Indian Army, who developed this unique ceremony of display by the massed bands. It symbolizes a centuries-old military tradition, marking the end of the day’s activities as troops cease fighting, sheathe their arms, and withdraw from the battlefield at sunset.

In preparation for the event, the Delhi Traffic Police has made extensive arrangements to ensure smooth traffic flow. Traffic restrictions will be enforced from 2 pm to 9.30 pm, with Vijay Chowk closed to general traffic. Additionally, Rafi Marg, Raisina Road, and Kartavya Path will have restricted access during the ceremony.
