Governor Soundararajan opens annual event; PM Modi sends greetings
Alai Balai, the traditional annual event promoted by Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya just after Dasara, saw leaders from different political parties sharing the same dais and exchanging greetings and pleasantries.
Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu attended the event at Jal Vihar and asked people not to forget their culture and traditions. He appreciated Mr. Dattatreya for continuing the tradition wherein people from different backgrounds and ideologies meet and exchange greetings.
Mr. Dattatreya described the event as a reflection of Telangana culture where people of all castes, creed and religion met to exchange greetings irrespective of their differences. His daughter Vijayalakshmi said the programme was also intended to highlight Telangana culture and pass it on to the next generations.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
