  • Senior RSS functionary Arun Kumar Kanadiya joined regional processions in the city, while political figures including Kailash Vijayvargiya and Ramesh Mendola were present.
  • In Delhi’s Chittaranjan Park, about 300 volunteers marched in uniform as Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended Sandhya Aarti at the local Kali Mandir during Ashtami Puja.
