CM Mohan Yadav Hoists Flag at New Ujjain Venue, Signaling Simhastha 2026 Focus

• Madhya Pradesh CM Dr. Mohan Yadav hoisted the Republic Day flag in Ujjain instead of Bhopal for the first time in state history.
• The flag-hoisting ceremony was held at the Kartik Mela Ground on the Shipra River bank, a departure from the traditional Dussehra Maidan.
• This change aims to nationally highlight the Simhastha Mela area in anticipation of the upcoming Simhastha Mahaparva in 2026.
• The event included a parade, cultural performances, dog squad stunts, and tableaux showcasing development works and the 'Kisan Kalyan Varsh'.
• A photo exhibition by the Public Relations Department highlighted MP's development, investment, good governance, and the 2026 'Farmers' Welfare Year'.

Why It Matters: CM Mohan Yadav's decision to hoist the Republic Day flag in Ujjain emphasizes the state's focus on Simhastha 2026.
