विधानसभा के विशेष सत्र में महिला सम्मान-लोकतंत्र अधिकार विषय पर चर्चा के दौरान सीएम ने संसद और विधानसभाओं में महिलाओं को 33 प्रतिशत आरक्षण देने के उद्देश्य से लाये गये नारी शक्ति वंदन विधेयक को यथाशीघ्र लागू करने के केंद्र सरकार के प्रयासों का समर्थन करते हुए सर्वसम्मति से संकल्प व्यक्त करने का प्रस्ताव रखा. सीएम ने राज्य आंदोलनकारियों के साथ ही उत्तराखंड में नारी शक्ति की प्रतीक गौरा देवी, टिंचरी माई, बिश्नी देवी शाह, जशुली शौक्याण, कुंती वर्मा, भागीरथी देवी, मंगला देवी, हंसा धनाई, सरला बहन, बेलमती चौहान, सुशीला बहन, कमला पंत जैसी महिलाओं को भी श्रद्धांजलि दी।

नारी शक्ति अब केवल भागीदारी तक ही सीमित नहीं है, बल्कि नेतृत्वकारी भूमिका निभा रही है। चंद्रयान मिशन से लेकर सेना और वायुसेना तक महिलाएं अग्रिम मोर्चे पर काम कर रही हैं। इसके साथ ही खेलों में भी उनकी अग्रणी भूमिका है। प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी साल 2023 में नारी शक्ति वंदन कानून लेकर आए थे. इस ऐतिहासिक कानून के तहत लोकसभा और राज्य विधानसभाओं में महिलाओं के लिए 33 फीसदी आरक्षण का प्रावधान किया गया था. यह प्रयास सिर्फ मातृशक्ति की संख्या बढ़ाने का प्रयास नहीं था, बल्कि नीति-निर्माण प्रक्रिया में महिलाओं की भागीदारी सुनिश्चित करने की दिशा में उठाया गया एक युगांतरकारी कदम था। 2029 के लोकसभा चुनाव तक देश की आधी आबादी को पूर्ण अधिकार दिलाने के उद्देश्य से 16 अप्रैल को संसद का विशेष सत्र बुलाकर इस ऐतिहासिक संकल्प को साकार करने का निर्णायक प्रयास किया गया। लेकिन विपक्षी दलों ने मिलकर इस ऐतिहासिक और युग परिवर्तनकारी पहल को संसद में पारित नहीं होने दिया. विपक्षी दल के नेता तालियां बजा रहे थे, इस दृश्य ने महाभारत की याद दिला दी, जिसमें द्रौपदी का अपमान किया गया था.

बीजेपी महिला मोर्चा की आक्रोश मशाल यात्रा: मातृशक्ति ने सड़कों पर उतरकर भरी हुंकार, सीएम धामी भी पहुंचे

विपक्ष भ्रम फैलाने की कोशिश कर रहा है

सीएम ने कहा, विपक्ष अब महिला आरक्षण जैसे महत्वपूर्ण विषय पर लोगों को भ्रमित करने की कोशिश कर रहा है. जबकि लोकसभा में ही गृह मंत्री अमित शाह ने साफ कर दिया था कि परिसीमन के जरिए किसी भी राज्य की सीटों के साथ कोई भेदभाव नहीं किया जाएगा, इसीलिए बिल में सीटें बढ़ाने का प्रावधान रखा गया है. दशकों तक सत्ता में रहने के बावजूद विपक्ष ने महिलाओं को उनके वास्तविक अधिकार दिलाने के लिए कभी कोई ठोस कदम नहीं उठाया। प्रधानमंत्री ने लोकसभा में साफ कहा था कि अगर यह बिल पास होता है तो वह इसका पूरा श्रेय विपक्ष को देने को तैयार हैं.

A rare Roman calibration plate was unearthed in Nezamyslis and Kojetin during extensive rescue excavation work associated with the construction of the high-speed railway line. The Archaeological Center of Olomouc (ACO) is carrying out rescue excavations for the project. This exceptionally well-preserved artifact is believed to have been used to make wire through the wire-drawing technique. All excavation sites yielded over 1,000 archaeological features ranging from the Early Bronze Age to the Roman Imperial period. Experts predict that this unique tool will provide important insights into ancient manufacturing methods, as well as possibly explaining how Roman legionnaires made their famous chainmail. Current research is being conducted on the artefact at ACO to determine its metallurgical composition and learn about its connection to trade networks in areas outside the formal northern borders of the Roman Empire.

A rare 2,000-year-old Roman metallurgical tool uncovered that shows advanced technology

As for the local manufacture or repair of advanced military equipment such as chainmail in the area occupied by Germanic tribes, the important discovery of a special metal calibration plate from the dig site is of great importance in providing evidence of advanced Roman metalworking technology being transmitted or put into use outside the Empire, as noted. Archaeological Center Olomouc (ACO).

A multi-millennium record of the Hana River valley

ACO carried out rescue excavation of the area, which extended by more than 1.2 kilometers in length as a result of the construction upgrade of the Brno–Přerov railway line, especially the section of the high-speed railway line from Nezamyslice to Kojetin. In addition to Roman period tools, the site contained a large number of remains that demonstrated the history of human occupation in the Hana River valley for thousands of years, and evidence of the Vetsov and Urnfield cultures was discovered at the site. Archaeologists have also recorded a variety of historical features, including the remains of later houses, lime kilns, and several ritual sites.

Mapping economic networks through Bronze Age evidence

The Archaeological Center of Olomouc is now home to all the artefacts that have been recovered, including calibration plates, stone casting molds and crucibles. Due to the large number of objects, they are now being prepared for conservation and study. Experts are performing spectrometric analysis on calibration plates to look for traces of materials produced by the objects, which could help show that the object was used to make the wire. The researchers are also examining stone molds collected during this project and correlating them with local workshops to understand whether they were production centers for specialized bronze objects, thus creating a better understanding of how ancient communities engaged in larger economic and technological systems.
