Took a contraceptive pill
I got Intimate on 2nd of october and took a 72 hour contraceptive pill just after one hour and my last period start date was 26th of September. Today it's 10th of October and I have a mild spotting with bleeding so is it normal? Will my next period come on the same date or it will be delayed? Also what shall I eat to keep the weakness away

Spotting like this after an emergency contraceptive pill is common. It's the hormone shift affecting your lining, not a sign of a problem. Your next period can come on time, early, or delayed by a week or two, it varies between women.
Next Steps
Eat iron-rich foods like leafy greens, dates and jaggery, along with protein, to help with the weakness, and rest when you can. See a gynaecologist if the delay runs past three weeks.
Health Tips
Go in sooner if the bleeding becomes heavy like a period or lasts more than a week.
