editor December 25, 2023

INDORE, Dec 25: The respect and empowerment of the underprivileged and impoverished segments of society is the government's top priority, according to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday. He added that during the BJP's "double-engine" government (at the centre and in Madhya Pradesh), thousands of crores of rupees had been invested in the area around Indore. Modi stated this will result in thousands of job opportunities while speaking via video link at a programme held to distribute debts totaling Rs 224 crore that belonged to employees of the Hukumchand Mill in the city of Indore, Madhya Pradesh. He said at the "Mazdooron ka Hit, Mazdooron ko Samarpit" programme that the decision will help over 4,800 labourers.The PM expressed his gratitude to the state government for finally resolving the long-standing issue and said he was fortunate to be present. According to him, the Madhya Pradesh government has made great progress in improving the lives of the underprivileged. As I've always stated, the poor, young, women, and farmers make up the largest four castes in my opinion. Respecting and empowering the underprivileged is our top priority, he declared. Modi went on to say that the "double-engine" government and the people of the state will benefit from receiving the blessings of labourers on Good Governance Day, which is observed on the anniversary of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's birth. Following the closure of the Hukumchand Mill in Indore in 1992 and its liquidation, the workers engaged in a protracted legal battle to recover their dues. The state Housing & Infrastructure Development Board and labour unions signed a settlement agreement on the Madhya Pradesh government's initiative, and on December 20, the settlement money was deposited in the high court, according to officials earlier. According to what Modi has been told, there was a festive mood in Indore when the package for the workers at Hukumchand Mill was announced. "Our labourer brothers and sisters are even more joyful now that this decision has been made," he remarked. According to Modi, years of penance by labourers produced today's programme. It is the result of many years of their dreams and resolutions. I firmly believe that the families of…

At approximately 10.30 am, the Dalai Lama touched down at the Libing army helipad in East Sikkim, where he was greeted by Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang. Monks from different monasteries in the state also gave him a warm welcome, performing a traditional Buddhist ritual called "Sherbang," which involves prayer and dancing. He was greeted by a few representatives of the Local Tibetan Assembly, Tibetan Settlement Office, and the exiled Tibetan Parliament.Hundreds of people lined up on both sides of the highway from Deorali to Zero Point to see the 87-year-old Dalai Lama when he visited a hotel in Gangtok. On Tuesday, he will give lectures at Paljor Stadium, which is about 50 km from the India-China border in Nathula, on the "Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas".
