A major political controversy has erupted in Pune during Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) youth wing chief Amit Thackeray's tour of educational institutes. While visiting the principal's office at the Government Polytechnic College in Shivajinagar to raise concerns regarding student canteen quality and sports infrastructure, Thackeray took strong objection to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photo being placed alongside portraits of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. Questioning the juxtaposition and asserting that the Prime Minister cannot be equated with historic icons, MNS cadre removed the photograph from the wall. Defending his action, Thackeray argued that government protocol photos should be placed separately. Meanwhile, BJP leaders strongly condemned the act, with former corporator Navnath Ban and BJP PMC house leader Ganesh Bidkar demanding police action and citing mandatory official display protocols for constitutional posts. #AmitThackeray #MNS #BJP #PuneNews #ChhatrapatiShivajiMaharaj

A brave young woman on the Bhusawal-Wardha Passenger Train taught a sexual harasser a lesson he will never forget, in a unique and viral act of justice. When a young man behaved indecently with her inside the moving train, the woman showed remarkable courage and caught hold of him with the help of fellow passengers. In a fitting and humiliating punishment, the passengers made the harasser wear bangles on his wrists and applied lipstick on his lips, publicly shaming him for his disgusting behaviour. The video of the incident has gone massively viral on social media, drawing widespread praise for the brave woman and her fellow passengers who stood up against harassment rather than staying silent. #BraveWoman #TrainHarassment #WomenSafety #JusticeServed #ViralVideo

Sinhagad Security Collapse! Women Harassed in Crowd, Tourists Terrified by Brawl and Stone-Pelting Tourists who visited the historic Sinhagad Fort on Independence Day (August 15) were left facing a terrifying and unsafe experience. With crowd management in complete disarray, several tourists alleged that miscreants took advantage of the chaos to inappropriately touch and harass young women and girls. Adding to the chaos, a violent brawl broke out between two groups of troublemakers, escalating into stone-pelting that sent panic through the crowd. Shockingly, throughout this entire ordeal, there was no police presence or security personnel in sight to control the situation. While some local mandal workers were busy punishing a tourist with 100 sit-ups for chewing gutkha, eyewitnesses questioned why crowd control and tourist safety weren't the top priority instead. Questions are now being raised over whether the forest department and police administration will act before a bigger tragedy occurs at this historic site, associated with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and warrior Tanaji Malusare. #SinhagadFort #PuneNews #Sinhagad #PuneTourism #SafetyFirst
