Khandu unveils transformative initiatives to mark Arunachal's 50 years of statehood
The initiatives, which form part of the state's Golden Jubilee vision, are designed to leave a lasting impact on the lives of citizens across all sections of society. In a message shared on social media, Khandu highlighted a series of landmark projects and schemes that reflect the state government's focus on education, healthcare, women's empowerment, rural electrification, and youth development. Itanagar, Jul 28 (PTI) Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Monday unveiled a comprehensive set of development initiatives to commemorate 50 years of Arunachal Pradesh's statehood, describing the occasion as 'not just a celebration, but commitment in action'. Among the major announcements is the establishment of 50 Golden Jubilee Model Schools with a total investment of Rs 500 crore, aimed at transforming education at the grassroots. Alongside infrastructure development, the government has also introduced the Golden Jubilee Merit Award, which will provide financial assistance of Rs 2 lakh to students securing admission into top-tier institutions such as IITs, IIMs, AIIMS, and national law universities (NLUs). Further promoting inclusive development, Khandu announced the launch of the Golden Jubilee Daughters scheme, under which every girl child born in the state and fully immunised will receive Rs 50,000. 'It's a step towards dignity, health and empowerment,' Khandu said in a post on X, emphasising the importance of supporting girls from birth through proactive state intervention. Rural and border area development also featured prominently in the Golden Jubilee roadmap, with Khandu announcing that 50 micro-hydel projects will be set up under the Golden Jubilee Border Village Illumination initiative. These projects are expected to bring sustainable electricity to remote border villages, thereby improving the quality of life and boosting local livelihoods. 'We are lighting up lives and livelihoods,' Khandu said. To strengthen healthcare infrastructure, the chief minister also revealed that 60 Primary and Community Health Centres (PHCs and CHCs) across the state will be upgraded under the Golden Jubilee Health Mission, enhancing medical access in far-flung and underserved areas. 'As we mark 50 glorious years of Arunachal's statehood, we're not just celebrating a milestone, we are building the future,' Khandu said, adding that these initiatives reflect our commitment to creating a more inclusive, empowered, and self-reliant Arunachal. The initiatives underscore the state government's long-term vision of development and inclusivity, ensuring that the celebrations go beyond ceremonial events and translate into tangible progress on the ground.

Mamata hits streets at Santiniketan to protest 'language terrorism'
Bolpur (West Bengal), July 28 (UNI) Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today marched about 3 km from Santiniketan, the seat of poet Rabindranath Tagore, to protest the alleged linguistic terrorism on the migrant Bengali-speaking people in BJP-ruled states. Holding a portrait of Tagore, Banerjee, who led the march of hundreds of her followers, was flanked by her senior cabinet minister Firhad Hakim and Bolpur MP Satabdi Roy. On July 21 during a Shahid Diwas rally in Kolkata, the CM had announced to renew the language agitation or Bhasha Andolon, from Birbhum. She said the language agitation would continue across the state until the 2026 assembly elections. The 3-km march from Santiniketan Guest House to Jamboni bus stand was, however, a silent rally in this rural area of district of Birbhum. Before proceeding to rural Bengal, Banerjee accused the states ruled by BJP governments of unleashing a "linguistic terror" on Bengali-speaking people, alleging that they were manhandled by Delhi Police. She also posted a purported video clip on social media X of a child and his mother, who she said were part of the migrant family from Chanchal in Malda, allegedly being assaulted by the Delhi Police. 'Atrocious!! Terrible!! See how Delhi Police brutally beat up a kid and his mother, members of a migrant family from Malda's Chanchal. See how even a child is not spared from the cruelty of violence in the regime of linguistic terror unleashed by BJP in the country against the Bengalis!' she said. Ahead of her street protest, Banerjee held an administrative meeting for Birbhum district where she also expressed surprise that some 1,000 BLOs ( block level officers) were taken to Delhi for election- related training. "This is surprising that though these BLOs are from the state government, neither the state government nor the chief secretary knew their assignment. The EC takes charge of a state administration once an election schedule is announced. But before that, you all are state government employees," Banerjee said. The TMC has been campaigning against SIR, saying a similar attempt would be made in Bengal to "remove voters." UNI PC PRS

Congress may have done something to KLIS to win elections: BRS leader KT Rama Rao
BHUPALPALLY: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Sunday expressed doubts that the 'luccha Congress vallu' (the wicked Congress leaders) might have done something to the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme, to tarnish the good name of the BRS and to win the Assembly elections. Addressing party workers here, Rama Rao alleged that the Congress leaders, who thought that the people would not support them in the Assembly elections, might have started blaming the Kaleshwaram project. Rama Rao recalled that Telangana earned a good reputation due to the construction of Kaleshwaram and became number one in paddy production in the country, surpassing Punjab. 'That's why the Congress leaders tried to win the elections by doing something or the other,' he alleged. The BRS leader said that he had expressed these doubts earlier as well. 'Kaleshwaram is a gigantic project, which consists of three barrages, 15 reservoirs and 21 pump houses, hundreds of kilometres of tunnels and thousands of kilometres of gravity canals. All the canals, pump houses, reservoirs and two barrages are good and intact. But two piers of one barrage, having a total of 85 piers, sank,' he said. 'The two piers did not collapse but just sank,' the BRS leader added. Rama Rao recalled that when the total cost of the Kaleshwaram project was Rs 80,000 crore, the Congress leaders alleged Rs 1 lakh crore corruption in the execution of the project. 'Even Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's father-in-law found fault with this claim,' he added.
