However, officials of the Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA), Chintoor, are yet to begin full-scale relief operations as the water level has not yet reached the second warning mark at Bhadrachalam in neighbouring Telangana.

Viral Video Shows Chitrakoot Ghat's Twin Faces: Exploring Unique Charms Of UP And MP Sides
Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, two neighbouring states in central-northern India, not only share a common border but also deep cultural, historical, and religious ties. Regions like Bundelkhand span both states, reflecting similar language dialects, customs, festivals, and lifestyle patterns. One of the most prominent shared spiritual sites is Chitrakoot, a sacred town located on the border of the two states. Recently, a digital content creator highlighted the stark contrast in the appearance of Chitrakoot Ghat from the Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh sides. In the video he shared, the Uttar Pradesh side was shown bustling with activity-bright lights, decorations, and a vibrant atmosphere. In contrast, the Madhya Pradesh side appeared calmer, quieter, and more serene, with minimal crowd and decoration. While the creator did not express a personal preference, he invited his followers to decide which side they found more appealing. The video sparked a lively debate in the comments, with users appreciating the unique charm and benefits of both sides. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bharat (@bharatfeed247) "Madhya Pradesh is ruling the comments section, bro; people prefer peace over chaos," commented a user. "Funny how one video was enough to trigger a debate about which is better, MP or UP. Even if one of it is better, why can't we accept it, learn from it and apply the betterment in our own state?" Think of the fact: how often do we forget that we share the same sky and same land of the same nation, still criticising one part and cherishing another?" wrote another user. Chitrakoot holds immense religious significance in Hindu mythology. It is believed to be the place where Lord Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana spent part of their 14-year exile, as described in the Ramayana. The town is dotted with temples, ghats, and caves associated with their stay, drawing pilgrims from across India. Cultural overlap is also evident in shared festivals like Diwali, Holi, Navratri, and Ram Navami, which are celebrated with similar fervor. Folk music, art forms like Bundeli painting, and traditional foods also show notable similarities. Both states reflect a deep-rooted connection in traditions, language (Hindi-Bundeli mix), and religious sentiments that transcend political boundaries.
