Dussehra Melava 2025: Heavy Rains Force Shiv Sena (UBT) To Trim Rally Speeches In Mumbai – Reports

Mumbai: With unrelenting showers lashing the city, organisers of the Dussehra Melava are reportedly preparing to scale down the number of speeches by party leaders.

The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) is gearing up for the grand Dussehra Melava, its annual event at the traditional venue, Shivaji Park in Dadar West, starting at 5:00 PM. However, due to persistent rain, organisers are considering compressing the event’s timeline, which may reduce the opportunity for additional speakers.

As per media reports, only Uddhav Thackeray, Sanjay Raut, and Ambadas Danve are currently slated to address the gathering. Danve is expected to speak on the Marathwada famine. If weather conditions improve and the skies clear, Bhaskar Jadhav and Sushma Andhare may still be allowed to deliver their speeches.

The decision to shorten the program appears to be driven by concerns over logistics and crowd safety. Heavy downpours could hamper stage operations, microphone setups, audience management, and transit to and from the venue. Party insiders say the schedule is being kept flexible to allow for adjustments on the spot, depending on rainfall intensity.

Earlier, the Shiv Sena (UBT) faced criticism from the BJP over holding large public rallies amid flood conditions in parts of Maharashtra. BJP leaders suggested that funds allocated for the rally might be better utilized for relief efforts. In response, Sanjay Raut defended the rally, stating that such events have taken place even during inclement weather in the past, and emphasized the symbolic value of this Melava.

In the coming hours, organisers and security teams will closely monitor weather updates with the aim of striking a balance between fulfilling political rituals and ensuring public safety. If the rain persists, a minimum lineup featuring Thackeray, Raut, and Danve will likely be maintained, with other leaders standing by.

Acknowledging the impact of heavy rains and floods in several parts of Maharashtra, the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) cell has extended the correction window for various exam admissions. Many students were unable to complete their admission cap round forms due to these unforeseen circumstances.

The dates for application form corrections and college option choice filling for the extended institutional level round have now been extended from October 3 to October 5. This extension applies to the following courses:

– 3-year LLB
– B.Ed. (Bachelor of Education)
– M.Ed. (Master of Education)
– B.P.Ed (Bachelor of Physical Education)
– M.P.Ed (Master of Physical Education)
– B.Sc. Nursing

This will be the final opportunity for students to apply. Candidates who have entered incorrect marks for their Class 12, graduation, or post-graduation qualifications in the application form will be allowed to make corrections within this window.

In addition, the Indian Nursing Council has extended the cut-off date for admissions to October 31. This move aims to accommodate students affected by the recent adverse weather conditions.

Speaking on the development, Dileep Sardesai, IAS, Commissioner of the State Common Entrance Examination Cell, said,
“Due to heavy rains and floods in the state, many students could not register for admission in the B.Sc. Nursing course. To ensure that these students also get a fair chance, the registration deadline has been extended till October 5, along with the revised eligibility criteria.”

Students are encouraged to utilize this extended window to complete their applications and make necessary corrections to avoid missing out on admissions this year.

New Delhi: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday to seek assistance for farmers who have suffered losses due to the recent heavy rains that lashed the state.

Fadnavis handed over a memorandum to the Prime Minister and briefed him about the situation in Maharashtra following the heavy rainfall. “The Prime Minister asked the state government to send a proposal in this regard which will be considered constructively,” the Chief Minister told reporters.

He also highlighted that the BJP manifesto includes a commitment to waiving farmers’ loans, and the government is focused on making this promise more effective. “We will certainly fulfill the assurance of loan waiver given by us in the manifesto. A committee has been set up in this regard and it will decide on the loan waiver. A loan waiver cannot be done time and again, so the focus will be on how to make it more effective,” Fadnavis explained.

Addressing the concerns about loan repayment, he added that the loans taken for the kharif crop will have to be repaid next year. “The immediate concern of the farmers is help in their accounts. So it will be our priority to extend this help,” he said.
