Swadeshi practices will lead to national development: Bhagwat
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday urged trainees at an RSS camp to adopt Swadeshi practices in their daily lives, calling it a meaningful step towards national development. He emphasised that individual commitment to indigenous goods can evolve into a wider social movement, eventually contributing to economic self-reliance. 'Can we resolve to use domestically-produced goods in our personal lives?' Bhagwat asked while addressing participants of Shiksha Varg camp. 'Let this resolution begin with the self, expand to our families and neighbourhoods and ultimately inspire the nation. Our country's money should stay within our borders and be used for our own progress,' he said. The RSS chief said such an approach would not only promote national interest but also foster a deeper expression of patriotism. During the interactive session, Bhagwat also engaged with attendees about their daily routines, asking students how long they study and businesspersons about the hours they devote to work. He laid stress that a swayamsevak must approach all activities—be it education, employment, or service—with the devotion of a Sadhak. Calling for excellence and integrity, he said, 'A student must strive to be an ideal student, a professional, an ideal professional—one who becomes a source of inspiration for others.' The RSS chief encouraged trainees to reflect on how much time they dedicate to organisational work and how they might contribute to the nation's welfare from their present position in the society. Bhagwat also said national progress depends not only on the government and armed forces, but equally on a conscious and value-driven society. 'It is the spirit of nationalism in everyday conduct that will truly carry the country forward,' he added.

Prohibitory orders imposed in Assam's Dhubri town following communal tensions
Issuing an order under section 163 of BNSS, District Magistrate Dibakar Nath said the restrictions shall come into force with immediate effect and remain in force until further order. Demonstrations were held in the town during the day to protest the alleged throwing of meat near a temple. Police had to use tear gas shells to bring the situation under control, they said. Guwahati, Jun 9 (PTI) Prohibitory orders were imposed in Assam's Dhubri town on Monday following communal tensions, officials said. 'It has been brought to my notice that there is a likelihood of breach of peace and public tranquillity in the areas falling under the jurisdiction of Dhubri Police Station due to communal tension, riot risk, violent protests, etc,' he said. Accordingly, he ordered all shops and markets in the Dhubri town area to remain closed and prohibited the assembly of five or more people in any public places. Organising any rally, procession, meeting, or demonstration has also been strictly prohibited, the order mentioned. It exempted the movements of emergency services from the purview of the restrictions, it said. 'As the circumstances of the situation do not admit service of notice in due time, this order is passed ex-parte,' it added. While speaking to reporters, Nath said, 'I appeal to everyone to maintain peace, and there is no need to panic and get emotional. All must stay indoors and respect each other.' A suspected cow head was found near a temple on Sunday, another officer said. Protesting it, a mob attacked vegetable vendors and e-rickshaw drivers near Dhubri Magistrate Colony and New Market, he said. Nath said that sufficient forces have been mobilised from both state and central agencies, and they have been deployed across the town. Asked if curfew will be imposed, he said, 'There will be no curfew, but a kind of semi-curfew will be there. All shops and markets will be closed. I request all not to pay heed to rumours, and one community must respect the other.' The district administration held meetings between the Hindu and Muslim communities on Sunday and requested both sides to maintain peace. 'During today's protest, we lobbed tear gas shells at one place. No one was injured,' Nath said without sharing further details. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said a number of cattle were allegedly slaughtered illegally at several places on Eid, on Saturday, and parts of the meat were thrown at multiple locations across the state. He said the police arrested 16 people from different places. PTI TR SOM This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.
