Ahead of polls, security beefed up in three Maoist-hit districts in Madhya Pradesh
Monday, 6 November 2023 Security arrangements have been heightened in Balaghat, Mandla, and Dindori districts in Madhya Pradesh, which are considered to be Maoist affected, ahead of the upcoming elections. Polling in these districts will only be held till 3 pm instead of the usual 6 pm. This comes after the killing of an ex-sarpanch by Maoists in Balaghat last week. Additional paramilitary forces have been requested to ensure security during the elections. Similar security measures have been taken in other districts affected by Maoist activities in Chhattisgarh.
The annual Kanwar Yatra, a Hindu pilgrimage dedicated to Lord Shiva, begins as millions of devotees embark on a sacred journey across central India.

This month-long event, concentrated in states like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh, sees devotees seeking blessings for health, prosperity, and spiritual purification through their arduous trek and ritualistic offerings.
