Madhya Pradesh’s Sidhi district has been connected to the railway network for the first time since Independence. On Saturday, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Chief Minister Mohan Yadav inaugurated two new railway sections spanning 118 km and flagged off the Devendra Nagar-Churhat train.

The line includes a 3.33-km-long tunnel and major rail bridges. The project aims to improve travel, boost trade, and create new job opportunities across the Vindhya region.

The Congress party will organize a mock Parliament session at Delhi’s Ashoka Hotel on October 30. Political leaders from the opposition INDIA bloc are set to participate in the event. The main topic of debate will be a proposal to impeach Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The move comes as political parties increase scrutiny over the Election Commission and discuss its overall functioning and role.
