Mumbai: After the flood situation and the wrath of rain in Maharashtra, the state government has claimed to help farmers and villages. State Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered all ministers to visit the affected villages, after which the ministers are also visiting the affected and flood-affected villages. Due to the flood situation in several villages including Beed and Osmanabad in Maharashtra, more than 100 villages have also been cut off. The situation has further deteriorated due to the increase in the water level of the river. Farmers’ crops have been destroyed.

State Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has visited the flood-affected villages in Mahad and assessed the damage. He has said that the villages and farms have been damaged on a large scale. Due to water accumulating in the houses in the low-lying areas, food items and household goods have been damaged. During the flood situation, 22 people have been safely evacuated by NDRF teams. The rescue operation is underway, along with this, there is anger among the people. The government has decided that relief will be provided to all the victims before Diwali. The government has released a fund of Rs 2,000 crore due to emergencies and floods, with this, relief is being ensured. The Chief Minister said that this relief will not be limited to farmers only, but all the victims will be provided relief, including those whose houses were flooded and compensation will be given for the damage caused in low-lying areas.

Dissatisfaction with the pictures of Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Pratap Sarnaik in the relief campaign Dissatisfaction was found in Dharashiv Osmanabad over the pasting of pictures of Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Pratap Sarnaik on relief and relief kits. The people expressed their displeasure and directed to take back the relief truck. After political publicity in relief works, the people of the state have now raised the question that they were in the rain for two or three days but no one provided them any assistance but now politics is being done on it. On the other hand, the opposition has also criticized it. On this issue, Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bankole said that the flood-affected villages need assistance and politics should not be done on it. He said that the allegations being made by the opposition regarding publicity on aid, what did it do in its time? He said that instead of politicizing this matter, there is a need to extend a helping hand.

Mumbai: Abu Asim Azmi, a leader and MLA from the Samajwadi Party in Mumbai, stated that just as loudspeakers are permitted during other festivals and Navratri, they should also be permitted for the Azaan (call for prayers). Commenting on the relaxation of loudspeaker use during Navratri in Uttar Pradesh, Azmi stated that relaxations should be granted for all festivals in the country, as people celebrate late into the night, and loudspeakers are only permitted until 10 p.m. Furthermore, the proposal to allow loudspeakers in mosques should also be approved, as the decibel limit is too low, making the use of loudspeakers impossible. Therefore, the government is urged to formulate a policy regarding loudspeakers. He said that Muslims have no objection to the permission and concessions for the use of loudspeakers during Navratri or other festivals. The Azaan should be two or five minutes long, but loudspeakers have been removed from mosques because the decibel limit is too low. Therefore, the government should allow loudspeakers in mosques.

Mumbai: Protests are continuing in Maharashtra and Mumbai in response to the case filed in Kanpur for writing “I Love Muhammad.” Following the controversy surrounding the removal of an “I Love Muhammad” banner in Mumbai, police in Mumbai are now monitoring social media. Additionally, to address the banner controversy, police have appealed to Muslims to refrain from displaying banners in public places, fearing the potential for law and order problems. Police sources have not ruled out the risk of damage to the banners or unrest in Mumbai due to incitement by miscreants against the banners, but the police are monitoring all aspects. “Come to Muhammad (PBUH)” banners are being displayed not only in Mumbai but throughout Maharashtra.
