When Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai visited the Gaurella-Pendra-Marwahi district, he received and paid tribute to MISA detainees (Meesabandi) and their families in the Mangli Bazaar of Gaurela in recognition of their role in protecting democracy at the Emergency time.

On this instance, the Chief Minister went to the homes of the MISA detainees, Komalchand Jain and Shiv Kumar Soni by himself. He gave them a shawl and coconut as a sign of reverence and modestly told them, we have come to take your blessings. He would attentively hear their stories and the sufferings they had to endure during the Emergency and would pay homage to their efforts and sacrifices.

Speaking at the meeting, CM Sai claimed that MISA detainees were the real champions of democracy who stood up in one of the hardest periods in the history of the country. He added that their fight to save constitutional values and the rights of the citizens is until now an inspiration to the coming generations. There was also information provided by the Chief Minister on the honorarium and welfare benefits that the state government is offering, which once again makes him pledge to their dignity and well-being. The detainees were thankful and said that the acknowledgement and encouragement provided by the government justifies their sacrifices.

A number of political figures and officials such as Minister Shyam Bihari Jaiswal, MLAs Pranav Marpachchi and Anuj Sharma, District Panchayat President Sameera Painkra, Collector Leena Kamlesh Mandavi and SP Manoj Kumar Khilari were also present as well.

CM Sai also paid prayers at the old Hanuman Temple in Gaurela during his visit to the district. He attended rituals and a havan ceremony where he prayed that the state was peaceful and prospered and that it would further develop. Meeting devotees, he supported the government in the sense of comprehensive growth and successful execution of the programs related to the welfare of the people. The temple committee gave him traditional honours.
