The decision to keep cattle markets closed on Eid-ul-Azha in Maharashtra was withdrawn

Mumbai: Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has also withdrawn the proposal to ensure peace and order on Eid-ul-Adha in Mumbai and to keep the cattle market closed. Earlier, a proposal was made to keep the cattle market closed during Eid-ul-Adha, which was opposed by Muslims, and after that, this decision has also been withdrawn. Before Eid-ul-Adha in Mumbai, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has issued necessary orders for Eid-ul-Adha in a peaceful atmosphere. In a meeting of Muslim representatives, the Chief Minister accepted all the demands of Muslims and assured them of taking necessary steps during the sacrifice, from providing facilities at the goat market in Deonar to providing necessary facilities. Abu Asim Azmi said that BJP leaders Kirit Somaiya and Nitish Rane are trying to spoil the atmosphere.
They are announcing that there will be no sacrifice to put pressure on the society, but this demand was also made to the Chief Minister that there should be no obstruction in the process of sacrifice in those societies where sacrifice is done. Muslim representatives also demanded to keep an eye on the mischief of miscreants during the sacrifice and take necessary action against anti-social elements. The Chief Minister assured that like every year, the sacrifice process will end peacefully this year too. He has accepted all the demands of the Muslims and given special consideration to every issue. Abu Asim Azmi said that there is a need to curb the mischief of miscreants during the sacrifice so that the situation remains peaceful. Instructions have also been given that animal traders in Deonar do not face any kind of problem. At the same time, the distress of the traders due to the animals’ carts not being emptied for 36 hours was also discussed. The Chief Minister has also banned the collection of additional fees.
In an important meeting, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis assured that like every year, facilities will be provided on Eid-ul-Adha this time too, and peace and order will be maintained. The proposal to close the animal market was withdrawn and the fee for sacrificial animals was reduced from Rs 200 to Rs 20. The Chief Minister also issued an order to take action against those involved in corruption. Those spreading hatred are trying to spoil the atmosphere on Eid by creating Hindu-Muslim differences. Azmi has also demanded a ban on the language of these sectarians. The Chief Minister has directed to pay special attention to maintaining order during the sacrifice.
Abu Asim Azmi told the Chief Minister that an additional fee was collected for emptying the animal cart, Rs. 500 instead of Rs. 200, Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 5,000 was collected for parking, the fee of the goat of the trader who is not sold during Eid-ul-Adha should be refunded, earlier the fee of the goat for deonar was Rs. 20, it should be increased to Rs. 200, five gates and five push gates should be set up for unloading the goat in deonar, along with this, there is a rush of buyers during the sacrifice, three windows should be started for the convenience of the customers, the Chief Minister approved all these demands and issued necessary orders.

Due to air pollution, public life has become unbearable. He told the House that due to pollution from legal Kurla scrap factories and SMS company in Mankhurd Shivani Nagar, the average life expectancy of the residents here has come down to just 39 years. Residents are forced to live amidst dirty, smelly water, air pollution and diseases. Despite this issue being raised in every meeting, the government has not taken any meaningful steps to resolve this issue and no action has been taken. Azmi drew the attention of the minister to this and demanded action as soon as possible, on which during the meeting, Environment Minister Pankaja Munde assured positive action on this serious issue and announced to call a meeting in this regard on Friday.

Maharashtra: No Funds For Shaktipeeth Highway Despite CM Devendra Fadnavis’s Push; Finance Dept Skips Provision In ₹57,509 Crore Supplementary Demands

Mumbai: Despite a clear directive from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the Finance Department (FD) has not made provision for the ambitious Shaktipeeth Highway while introducing Rs 57,509 crores supplementary demands in the State Assembly on Monday.
Significantly, the supplementaries, according to government sources, will put an additional Rs 40,000 Cr burden on the state kitty, which is already overburdened with debt of over Rs 9 lakh Cr. The Chief Minister had in a recent meeting on infrastructure projects, asked the Public Works Department (PWD) to set aside Rs 20,000 Cr for the land acquisition of Shaktipeeth Highway, 802 KM greenfield, access control six-lane express highway connecting Nagpur to Patradevi (Dist Sindhudurg) near the Goa border.
The project has been facing stiff opposition from farmers from various districts, which led to altercations with government officials during surveys in the districts of Solapur, Latur, Dharashiv and Parbhani. Despite that, the state cabinet in a recent meeting approved the design and Rs 20,787 Cr for planning and land acquisition for the project. Usually, if total provision is not possible, the Finance Department makes a token provision to indicate that a particular project or plan is very much on the cards, and the provision can be made down the line. But this does not seem to be the case with the Shaktipeeth Highway, which is estimated to cost over Rs 86,000 Cr.
An offical told the FPJ that government will have to ask the state legislature to make the financial provision as approved in the June 24 meeting of the state cabinet. The Finance Department, led by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, however, has earmarked approximately Rs 10,000 Cr for the PWD. A majority of the provision will go for the state highways, district roads, the ring road for Pune and a Samruddhi Mahamarg link connecting Jalna to Nanded.
Although Shiv Sena has only four departments under it’s control whereas there are as many as eight departments with the BJP and seven with the NCP, it seems to have cornered a substantial part of the provisions. Urban Development Department, led by Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, tops the list with the provision of Rs 15,465 Cr. The Public Health Department, led by Shinde’s party colleague Prakash Abitkar, will get Rs 6952 Cr.

‘Thackerays Are Coming’: Sanjay Raut’s Post On July 5 ‘Marathi Victory Rally’ Sparks Buzz On Shiv Sena UBT-MNS Joint Celebration Event

Mumbai: Mumbai is set to witness a triumphant celebration on July 5, as the Shiv Sena UBT led by Uddhav Thackeray has announced a ‘Marathi Vijay Melava’ (Victory Rally), following the Maharashtra government’s rollback of both government resolutions (GRs) mandating Hindi as a compulsory third language from Class 1 under the three-language formula.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Sena UBT MP Sanjay Raut shared an image saying, “It’s settled. July 5 – A Victory Rally for Marathi! Thackeray is coming…” He captioned the post, “Jai Maharashtra.” It is speculated that the rally is a joint celebration event along with the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) led by Raj Thackeray. However, there is no confirmation from both Sena UBT and MNS over the reunion of Thackeray brothers at the rally.
The rally, originally planned as a protest against the imposition of Hindi, will now be held in a celebratory spirit, marking what the opposition parties call a people-powered win for Marathi identity. The Shiv Sena (UBT) had earlier joined hands with the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) to protest the GRs and both Uddhav and Raj Thackeray were scheduled to participate in a joint protest march on July 5. However, with the government withdrawing the controversial orders on Sunday, the planned protest has now transformed into a victory rally for Marathi pride.
Announcing the change, Uddhav Thackeray stated, “Even though the protest has been called off, a victory rally will still take place. This is not just a rollback of two government decisions, it’s a win for every Marathi-speaking citizen who stood up for their language.”
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had declared the rollback in a press conference, flanked by Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar. He also announced the formation of an expert committee headed by Dr Narendra Jadhav to re-examine the three-language policy after wide consultation with stakeholders. The government maintained that Marathi would remain compulsory and future decisions would be based on the committee’s recommendations.
The Shiv Sena UBT and MNS had strongly opposed the move to impose Hindi from the first grade, calling it an assault on Maharashtra’s linguistic identity. MNS first raised the issue, followed by an aggressive entry by the Thackeray-led Sena. Pressure continued to mount, leading to the state government’s retreat.
Now, instead of protests and slogans, Mumbai is expected to echo with celebration, marking what many see as a rare moment of opposition unity and cultural assertion in Maharashtra.
