Amit Shah Leads Dasehra Celebrations in Ludhiana Amid Security and Traffic Measures
Union Home Minister Amit Shah led Dasehra celebrations at Ludhiana's historic Daresi Ground, marking the first time a Union Home Minister has done so there. He lit the 121-foot Ravana effigy amid thousands of attendees and addressed the crowd, recalling martyr Sukhdev Thapar. Shah also criticized Punjab's Aam Aadmi Party government over drug-related issues and demanded CBI investigations. Ahead of his visit, traffic restrictions were implemented in Ludhiana, and a 2-km red zone with heightened security was established in Mansa, where Shah met the family of slain anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota.
