‘Dakshina mein PoK chahiye': Jagadguru Rambhadracharya to Indian Army chief Upendra Dwivedi
The chief of army staff visited the ashram and inaugurated the simulator machine at Sadguru Netra Chikitsalya.
A member of the Sadguru Sewa Centre said that Upendra Dwivedi and Jagadguru visited their facility and observed the operation theatre process. He also said General Dwivedi was also shown the simulator machine used for medical training. The machine is used by doctors to first learn the procedures before treating the patients.
'It's a vital step in ensuring precision and safety," he said. Further, talking about the machine, the member said there are only about four to five such machines in India, and this is the first machine in Madhya Pradesh.
He added that the army chief was also told about the 140 vision centres and the same number of eye surgeons operating across their network. He said that the army chief was 'deeply impressed by the scale and efficiency of the work.'
Following this, there was also a discussion on how Sadguru Sewa Centres could collaborate with the service personnel to benefit them.
A post on Jagadguru Rambhadracharya's official account also mentioned the visit, stating that General Dwivedi arrived at Tulsi Peeth Chitrakoot Dham and spoke about the valour of the Indian Army in front of all the saints and students.
General Dwivedi, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi and Air Force Chief Marshal AP Singh played a crucial role in India's Operation Sindoor against Pakistan.

Opposition holds protest against SIR in Parliament complex
Agency: New Delhi, Aug 19 (PTI) Opposition leaders on Tuesday stepped up their attack against the Election Commission over the voter roll revision in Bihar, with protesting MPs holding a huge banner carrying pictures of the election commissioners and raising slogans against the poll body. The banner, which carried the picture of CEC Gyanesh Kumar and other two election commissioners in the panel Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, also had 'vote chor" and the words 'Silent Invisible Rigging' written on them. The protest in Parliament complex was led by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. He was accompanied by prominent opposition leaders and MPs, including Akhilesh Yadav and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Kharge later shared a video of their protest in Parliament in a post on X. 'The Election Commission cannot run away from its constitutional responsibility. INDIA (bloc) has raised serious questions on Free & Fair Elections with evidence, which the Election Commission should answer by investigating and not by intimidating the opposition!" Kharge said in his post in Hindi. 'From the streets to the Parliament, the fight for voting rights continues," he also said. The opposition has been protesting in both Houses of Parliament against the SIR, alleging that the EC's exercise is aimed at 'disenfranchising voters" in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections due later this year. They have been demanding a discussion on the issue in both Houses. Barring discussions on Operation Sindoor in the two Houses, Parliament has seen little business ever since the Monsoon session began on July 21 due to repeated adjournments, mostly over the SIR issue. The opposition MPs have raised the pitch against the CEC and EC after they held a press conference on Sunday. The Opposition says the EC has not answered any of their queries raised.

Lok Sabha adjourned till 12 noon due to Opposition protests over SIR issue
Agency: New Delhi, Aug 19 (PTI) Lok Sabha was on Tuesday adjourned till 12 noon due to strong protests by opposition parties demanding a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision exercise in Bihar and other issues. When the House met at 11 am, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla announced that it was a matter of happiness that now onwards the translation of the proceedings of the House will be available in all 22 languages under the 8th Schedule of the Constitution for the members. He said so far proceedings were available in 18 languages and now onwards four more languages were included in the list. 'We should be proud of our Parliament, we should be proud of Indian democracy. On this happy occasion, I hope that members will cooperate to run the House smoothly," he said. As soon as Birla ended the announcement, opposition MPs, including those from the Congress, were on their feet, raising slogans and showing placards with their demand for discussion on SIR. The Speaker tried to continue the business of the House — Question Hour — by allowing members to ask three questions related to different union ministries and departments amidst din. However, the vocal protests of the opposition continued. After about 20 minutes of the proceedings, Birla adjourned the House till 12 noon. The opposition has been demanding a discussion on the SIR exercise initiated by the Election Commission in Bihar ahead of the Assembly elections there. Barring discussions on Operation Sindoor in both House, Parliament has seen little business ever since the Monsoon session began on July 21 due to repeated adjournments initially due to opposition demand for discussion on Operation Sindoor and then demanding a discussion on SIR in Bihar.

Of rains and votes
Only a few things are for certain in India: that the price of onions will rise before an election, that an India-Pakistan match will be described as 'more than cricket', and that elections will never be held in monsoon. The calendar is ruthlessly clear: Our great democratic extravaganza unfolds in the comfortable shades of spring or winter. By June, when the clouds gather and the first raindrops hit, the ballot boxes are already tucked away. Coincidence? Hardly. It's not that the Indian monsoon is apocalyptic. It is not a Katrina, a Harvey or a typhoon with a Viking name. In fact, in most places the rain is oddly well-behaved. It arrives roughly on schedule, cools the earth, restores groundwater and gives farmers reason to exhale. But let it rain for two hours in Gurgaon and suddenly the Millennium City looks like an audition tape for Atlantis. Cars bob like half-hearted gondolas, office towers turn into aquariums, and WhatsApp fills with memes of corporate executives rowing to work. The problem isn't that the rain is catastrophic. The problem is that it is revealing. Read more on TOI+ Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Disclaimer Views expressed above are the author's own.
