Tue Mar 18 21:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Aurangzeb’s Tomb Becomes Focal Point of Violence in Nagpur
**Nagpur, Maharashtra – March 19, 2025** – Threats to demolish the tomb of Aurangzeb, the longest-reigning Mughal emperor, have sparked violence in Nagpur, Maharashtra. This action is viewed as a dangerous attempt to rewrite history and a direct threat to the state’s peace and stability. The incident comes at a time when Maharashtra faces significant challenges, including high unemployment, farmer distress, and the lingering economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Critics argue that diverting attention to the tomb issue only serves to inflame communal tensions and distracts from addressing these pressing issues.
In other news, low uptake of adult flu vaccines among senior citizens highlights concerns about affordability and awareness. The lack of a readily available regimen, similar to that for pediatric vaccines, and the primarily imported nature of the flu vaccine contribute to its high cost, limiting accessibility for many. Calls are being made for Indian manufacturers to address this issue and make the vaccine more affordable.
