Road Repair Push & Patidar Plea: Gujarat News Highlights
In Vadodara, a politician wants a road fixed quickly so a big statue can be moved safely for a festival.
She asked the local government to fix a road, but officials said it was too short notice and expensive.
Also, a group called Vishv Umiyadham asked a community called Patidar to have more kids.
They said that fewer people in the community means less power in society and politics.
