Literature Festival inaugurated with release of books by Dr Nilesh Oak and Chandrachur Ghose  Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sunil Ambekar believes that involvement of today’s youth in social media is not spoiling their life. Rather, the youth are going through a transition phase which is normal in every generation. “Our generation witnessed the invention of television when every youth got addicted to it. Now, the same thing is going on with the current generation and this time it is social media,” said Ambekar while inaugurating the 7th Orange City Literature Festival

 

(OCLF) conducted by SGR Knowledge Foundation in association with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) at Chitnavis Centre, Civil Lines on Friday. “Everyone is worried about the influence of social media over the youth but I want to assure that today’s youth are more hungry to gather knowledge and this transition phase will also vanish soon like ours,” said Ambekar. Advocating about current generation, the chief guest said, “Today’s youth are more patriotic and sensitive about their religion and culture.

 

It is good that the construction of Ayodhya Ram Mandir took place in the era of social media when Indian youth experienced it by their own. Ram Mandir is not just a temple. It is the physical evidence of Lord Ram who is an eternal part of our culture and religion.” Similarly, the recently held absconding accused, Suraj alias Musa Ramesh Varankar (25), who was wanted after a raid at his Chankapur residence in April 2025, during which a pistol was recovered. During interrogation, he revealed that he had purchased the weapon from Ravi alias Jagga Ashok Yadav (20) of Kavads, Patansawangi tehsil. Jagga, who had been absconding since then, was arrested on Thursday evening and produced in court. Police said further investigation is underway.
