MP Police speed up preparation for PM Modi's programme in Bhopal on May 31

A five-kilometre radius around Jamboree Maidan has been declared a no-fly zone; a notification in this regard was issued by the Bhopal district police on Wednesday.
"All forms of aerial objects such as drones, paragliders, hot air balloons and other flying devices are strictly prohibited in a five-kilometre radius of Jamboree Maidan between 6 am to 4 pm on May 31," said a directive issued by DCP (Intelligence security) Bhopal.
It further added, "Violation of this order will be considered a breach of law and offenders will face legal action under section 223 of the BNS."
As it would be a women-specific event, which is being organised to mark the occasion of the 300th birth anniversary of Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar, a revered Maratha queen, all security arrangements will be handled by women cops.
Over 1,500 women commandos and 3,000 personnel have been deployed to secure the venue, with traffic and crowd control systems being coordinated to avoid disruptions.
Senior IPS officer Sonali Mishra will oversee a robust, multi-layered security network. Of the 90 senior security officials deployed, 47 are women, including four Superintendents of Police (SPs) and 11 additional SPs.
The command posts, monitoring rooms, and convoy security will see women personnel in charge, as well as the helipad within the event premises will be handled by women cops.
More than two lakh women associated with Self-Held Groups (SHGs) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from across Madhya Pradesh will be attending the programme.
The state BJP unit has also planned to deploy more than 3000 women workers to assist the security personnel.
On this occasion, PM Modi will also launch metro rail projects in Indore, inaugurate new ghats along the Shipra River in Ujjain, and lay the foundation stone for the Singhasth Mahaparv 2028 preparations.

CPIM names M Swaraj as LDF candidate for Kerala bypoll on June 19
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Friday announced M Swaraj as the Left Democratic Front's (LDF) candidate for the Nilambur Assembly by-election in Kerala, setting the stage for a heated contest with the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF), which has already named Aryadan Shoukath as its by-election, scheduled for June 19, was necessitated by the resignation of PV Anvar, who had won the seat twice with LDF support. Anvar stepped down after falling out with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, citing issues with the Chief Minister's political secretary and Additional Director General of Police Ajith Kumar. He subsequently joined the Trinamool Congress. His exit has sparked tensions within the UDF, as Anvar is reportedly opposed to Shoukath's state secretary MV Govindan made the announcement following the party state secretariat meeting. Swaraj, a former Member of the Legislative Assembly who represented the Tripunithura constituency from 2016 to 2021, hails from Nilambur in Malappuram district. He is currently a member of the CPI(M) state secretariat. He lost to Congress candidate K Babu in the 2021 elections. Announcing Swaraj's candidature, Govindan said the LDF aims to make a 'significant advance' in the Nilambur by-election. He noted that Swaraj was selected with the understanding that the by-poll would be among the most intense political contests in recent times. He also described Nilambur as a politically important sharply criticised Anvar, calling him a "Judas who betrayed the LDF" and remarked that Kerala is witnessing his 'pitiful state' as he struggles to find space within the Congress-led to the media, Swaraj said that Nilambur has been historically favourable to the Left and that many people across political lines agree that the Left is best suited to govern the state. He expressed confidence that the election results would reflect continued public support for the LDF government.'The contest is not against individuals, but against anti-Left forces,' Swaraj stated, calling on secular-minded voters to ensure the continuation of the Left to Swaraj's entry into the fray, Shoukath welcomed the contest. 'It's only when there is a defender on the field that the forward feels the thrill of scoring a goal,' he said in BJP-led National Democratic Alliance has not yet announced its candidate for the by-election. Meanwhile, the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has announced Sadik Naduthodi, the party's Malappuram district vice president, as its candidate for the upcoming Nilambur marks a shift in the party's approach, as SDPI had refrained from contesting the last by-election and Lok Sabha polls, instead extending support to the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF).

BJP on Congress leader's ‘Rahul Gandhi would've taken PoK back' remarks: ‘Hilarious'
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday reacted to Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy's statement that 'had Rahul Gandhi been the prime minister, India would have taken PoK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir) back'. Union minister and BJP leader Jitendra Singh termed the comments 'hilarious' and said PoK would have existed "had Jawaharlal Nehru not been the PM if India". 'It is hilarious if any Congress leader says that if Rahul Gandhi was the PM of India, the PoK would have been India's part. But the fact is that had Rahul Gandhi's great maternal grandfather, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, not been the PM of India, the PoJK would not have been today. It is the result of his actions that first, the nation was divided, then Jammu and Kashmir,' Union minister Jitendra Singh told ANI. Further targeting Jawaharlal Nehru, the union minister blamed the former prime minister for declaring a ceasefire during the war with Pakistan. Also Read | PM Modi's latest warning to Pakistan: 'Fight against terror has neither ended nor halted' "We must not forget that when the India-Pakistan war was going on, and our forces were in a situation to win the PoK back, it was the then PM Jawaharlal Nehru who declared a unilateral ceasefire on the Akashvani without consulting with anyone..." Singh said. Earlier, while participating in Congress 'Jai Hind Yatra' in Nizampet, Hyderabad, Reddy had criticised the Narendra Modi-led Central government and said that the country needs the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. "Modi is expired rupee, Modi is like a 1000 rupees' invalid note. Today, this country needs Rahul Gandhi's leadership. If a leader like Rahul Gandhi would have been Prime Minister of this country, then he would have taken (former PM) Indira Gandhi as inspiration and would have walked in Kaali's (Maata) way and would have made Pakistan into two parts and would have taken PoK back," Reddy was quoted as saying by ANI. He also drew comparisons with the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's leadership and her decisive action against China and Pakistan, including the 1971 war, which led to the creation of Bangladesh. Reddy said, "Indira Gandhi's grandson Rahul Gandhi should become the Prime Minister of this country. Only if he becomes PM, he'll defeat Pakistan on one side and China on the other side and uphold our self-respect."
