Under the directives of the Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee, a crucial meeting was held on Monday at the Congress office, Shahid Bhawan, in Bhabua district headquarters as part of the 'Vote Bachao Desh Bachao Abhiyan' (Save Vote, Save Nation Campaign). The meeting was chaired by District Congress President Radheshyam Kushwaha, with Bhabua Block President Harish Kumar Tiwari conducting the proceedings.

District Congress President Radheshyam Kushwaha raised serious questions about the functioning of the Election Commission of India and outlined the upcoming protests. He announced that on October 15, 2026, a large march would be organized in Bhabua subdivision, starting from the statue of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar in the Municipal Maidan to the Gandhi statue at Ekta Chowk. A similar march will be held in Mohania on October 17.

Meanwhile, the administration has begun preparations to tackle the increasing crowd and traffic congestion in Mohania city during the Dussehra festival. As part of this, the traffic police and Nagar Panchayat team conducted an anti-encroachment drive at Chandni Chowk, a busy area in Mohania. Illegally placed shops and goods obstructing movement along the roadside were removed. The campaign aims to provide relief from traffic jams and ensure smooth traffic flow during the festival. Nagar Panchayat Executive Officer Sudhanshu Kumar stated that encroachment in the urban area would not be tolerated.

In Bhabua, essential guidelines have also been issued for Durga Puja pandals. Puja committees are mandated to install CCTV cameras and obtain licenses. High-quality CCTV cameras and adequate fire-fighting equipment must be installed in major pandals for crowd control and security. The use of DJ will be completely prohibited during puja and immersion, while loudspeakers will be allowed only within specified decibel limits and timings. Active volunteers with identity cards will be deployed to monitor anti-social elements and ensure the safety of women and children. A sufficient number of police forces and magistrates have been deployed throughout the district during the festival.
