Maharashtra plans state wide events to mark 350th martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur
MUMBAI: Maharashtra will hold year-long, state-wide events to mark the 350th martyrdom of the 9th Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, beginning in November. At a meeting chaired by CM Devendra Fadnavis on Friday, representatives of the Sikh community and senior govt officials discussed preparations to make the events memorable. Sant Gyani Harnam Singh Khalsa, Pradahan of Sant Samaj, was among the Sikh representatives who attended the meeting. 'This event of religious tolerance and national consciousness is of immense importance to the country,' Khalsa said. PM Narendra Modi, HM Amit Shah, and UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath are expected to attend three major gatherings at Nanded, Nagpur, and Mumbai Metropolitan Region, respectively. 'This historic event will help Maharashtra reaffirm its reputation as a symbol of cultural consciousness, religious tolerance, and national integrity. We are glad the CM is taking personal interest in making the events memorable,' said Bal Malkit Singh, Convenor, Maharashtra Sikh Association and Director of the state-level organising committee of the events. Malkit Singh added that the events will not only create awareness about the Guru's life and works but will also help foster love, peace and communal harmony. Fadnavis said that a special booklet on the life and values of Guru Tegh Bahadur will be published in Hindi, Punjabi, and Marathi to propagate the story of the Guru's life and sacrifice and make the new generation aware of his values.

Ahmedabad plane crash: No DNA match yet for ex-Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani, says hospital official; 12 bodies handed over to families so far
NEW DELHI: Authorities have not yet been able to identify the remains of former Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani , who was among the 241 passengers killed in Thursday's Air India Flight 171 crash. Dr Rajnish Patel, additional medical superintendent at Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad, confirmed on Sunday, 'We have not yet found a DNA match for the former CM Vijay Rupani.' So far, 31 victims have been identified through DNA testing and 12 bodies handed over to families — including passengers from Udaipur, Kheda, Vadodara, Visnagar and Ahmedabad. The delay in identification has prolonged the wait for Rupani's family and supporters, even as Rajkot — his hometown — observed a half-day shutdown on Saturday to mourn his death. Shops, businesses and around 600 private and grant-in-aid schools remained shut till afternoon following an appeal by the Rajkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Rupani, a two-time chief minister who served from 2016 to 2021, was also the BJP's in-charge for Punjab. He was travelling to London aboard AI-171, a Boeing Dreamliner that crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad airport. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
