Chhattisgarh Turns 26 As Leaders Celebrate Statehood Amid Big Security Claims

Chhattisgarh is celebrating its <b>26th</b> statehood anniversary with a grand <b>3-day</b> state festival in Raipur. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai paid tribute to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee for creating the state and thanked central leadership for anti-naxal efforts. While politicians indulge in grand celebrations and mutual praise, the common citizen in remote districts still grapples with basic infrastructure deficits and daily safety concerns. Beyond the political speeches, ordinary families hope these milestone years finally bring real, ground-level development instead of empty promises.
