  "summary": "There is public anger over domestic airline fares. The issue has sparked an inquiry into the factors driving up prices. According to 3News, emotions should be set aside and the forces behind the price increases examined.\n\nA separate issue concerns a petition filed with the Madhya Pradesh High Court regarding the Ladli Behna Scheme. The Hindu reports that the scheme provides eligible women with a monthly allowance of ₹1,500 from the State Government. The petition, filed by Sudha Dubey, questions the scheme's financial liability and accuses it of being an election-related freebie.\n\nThe Ladli Behna Scheme was launched in March 2023 by former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan with an initial monthly amount of ₹1,000. The amount was increased to ₹1,250 in October 2023 and later to ₹1,500 in November 2025 by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. The scheme benefited around 1.31 crore women in 2023.",
