While the celebrations are important, I hope the Governor's address also talks about real issues facing Madhya Pradesh - farmer welfare, women's safety, and employment for youth. Republic Day should be about reflecting on our duties as citizens too.

The distribution of chief guests across districts is a nice touch. It shows the government wants participation from all regions. My district's minister will be hoisting the flag. Taking my kids to see it!

As someone living in Bhopal, the parade rehearsals near Lal Parade Ground have been causing major traffic disruptions for days. Could the police manage this better? The spirit is great, but practical planning matters too.

Proud to see our leaders spread across the state for the celebrations. CM in Ujjain, Speaker in Gwalior, Deputies in Indore and Sagar. This is true 'Unity in Diversity' in action. Happy Republic Day to all!

Will definitely tune in to DD Madhya Pradesh for the Governor's address. These broadcasts are important, especially for the older generation who rely on Doordarshan and AIR. A good tradition to maintain.
