Good to see the CM taking swift action on the Indore water crisis. Public health should always be the top priority. Holding officials accountable is the right step. Hope the corrective measures are implemented effectively across the state.

While promoting culture is important, I hope the government is equally focused on basic governance. The Indore incident shows a serious failure. Transfers and notices are fine, but we need a permanent solution to prevent such crises. Jai Shri Ram, but also clean water for all.

Interesting to read about the Ramayana's reach in Southeast Asia. It's a beautiful epic that transcends borders. As someone living here, it's great to see the state celebrating this shared cultural legacy.

The CM had a busy day! From a cultural fair to a public health emergency. This is what governance should be - engaging with our roots while also addressing pressing civic issues. Hope the balance is maintained.
