In a heartfelt address on Holi eve, Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav urged citizens to immerse in the festival’s spirit while staying vigilant about security and students’ board exams. The message came during his visit to Barwani on March 2.
‘Holi brings joy and excitement, yet our children’s school exams are ongoing. Their bright futures depend on undisturbed focus—let’s celebrate responsibly,’ Yadav told reporters.
Board examinations for Classes 10 and 12, running since February 13, wrap up March 6. This timely reminder seeks to prevent any festive exuberance from impacting academic schedules.
Yadav’s day included participation in the iconic Bhagoria Mahotsav, a week-long tribal carnival in western MP districts symbolizing Holi’s arrival and spring’s bloom. Attracting global visitors, its final day featured lively dances, attire, and community bonding on Monday.
Preceding the festivities, the CM held a late-night review with top cops including DGP Makwana and ADG Manohar. The video conference covered preparations from all ranges, ensuring comprehensive policing.
‘Be hyper-vigilant. Respond instantly to mishaps, big or small. Enforce dry day strictly and tighten administrative controls,’ Yadav ordered. He warned against laxity, promising unannounced police station visits and performance-based rankings.
Special directives focused on exam venue surveillance and hostel safety. Yadav’s emphasis on transparent, responsive policing sets a tone for seamless celebrations, blending tradition with modern governance in the heartland state.
