Inclusive Development, Social Justice Pledge at Adilabad Independence Day
Every year, India celebrates Independence Day, and this year a big celebration was held in a town called Adilabad.
A government leader named Mohammed Ali Shabbir came to the event and raised the national flag.
He said the government wants to help people who need support the most by giving them better homes, schools, healthcare and jobs.
He promised that the government is working on six big promises, including a scheme called Mahalakshmi that helps women.
He also talked about building three new hostels for students and repairing older ones.
The government is spending money to build a new office building in a place called Utnoor to help tribal communities.
Many women's groups are getting loans without interest to start small businesses.
People who need a special pension called Cheyutha can apply until August 31.
During the celebration, some members of the BJP party complained that a photo of Prime Minister Modi was missing from new ration cards, and there was a small scuffle with police.
Even with that disruption, the event continued and the government shared its plans to treat everyone fairly.
Advisor Mohammed Ali Shabbir said the government is committed to social justice and an inclusive development model focused on education, empowerment, livelihoods and social security for marginalised communities.
Shabbir addressed the 80th Independence Day celebrations at the Police Parade Grounds in Adilabad after hoisting the national flag and receiving the guard of honour.
Three new SC hostels are being constructed in the district at a cost of ₹11.10 crore, while ₹96 lakh is being spent on repairs to existing hostels.
The government sanctioned ₹15 crore for a new ITDA building at Utnoor, and established Dal Mill, Mahua Laddu and bamboo units to strengthen tribal livelihoods.
BJP activists led by Payal Sharath briefly disrupted the programme over the absence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's photograph on Smart Ration Cards, with Congress leaders and cadre opposing the demand.
