In Chhattisgarh, the state government has implemented administrative updates including a schedule of 10 holidays for October, covering Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, Vijayadashami, and local observances such as Mahashtami in districts like Raipur. 

Additionally, the government approved an increase in monthly stipends for postgraduate medical and dental students in government medical colleges. Starting in October, these students will receive up to 94,000 rupees per month, a measure following protests and threats of service boycotts by resident doctors regarding inflation and high workloads.
