Uttarakhand: Clothes hung on mosques ahead of Kanwar yatra, later removed
CHENNAI: Amid growing criticism of several BJP-ruled state governments' diktat to display names of the owners on eateries along the route of the Kanwar yatra, Uttarakhand government has come up with a novel idea to prevent trouble. On Friday, July 26, two mosques and a shrine, located in the Haridwar city of Uttarakhand were covered with large white sheets, ahead of the Kanwar yatra passing through the route. The sheets were hung on bamboo scaffoldings in front of two mosques and a Mazar, all in the Jwalapur area . Uttarakhand Tourism Minister Satpal Maharaj told reporters that it was done to prevent trouble and maintain peace. But what exactly is this trouble and how does the sight of a mosque disrupt the Kanwar yatra, nobody explained. Instead, the minister said, It is not such a big thing. We also cover buildings when they are under construction. Meanwhile, the caretakers of the mosque and shrine said they were unaware of any order passed in this regard from the administration. They said this was the first time such a thing had happened. Kanwariyas stop under the shade of trees outside mosques and Mazars to rest, said Shakeel Ahmad, one of the caretakers of the Mazar. He reiterated that this is the first time the administration has come up with such a strange move. Congress leader and former minister Naeem Qureshi said he has never seen such a thing in his life. We Muslims always welcome Shiv bhakts (devotees) for the kanwar fair and arrange refreshments for them at various places. This has been an example of harmony between Hindus and Muslims in Haridwar, and there has never been a tradition of curtains, he said. Qureshi said before the Kanwar mela started, the administration had held a meeting and members from both the Hindu and Muslim communities were made SPOs. Congress leader and former district panchayat president Rao Afaque Ali pointed out that some Kanwariyas used to visit the mosques on the route to pay respect. It has never happened earlier. Some Kanwariyas also go to mosques to pay obeisance. India is a country where everyone takes care of every religion and caste. Today mosques are being covered, what will happen if temples are covered in this manner tomorrow? he asked. Meanwhile, Uttarakhand Congress vice president Suryakant Dhasmana said that the move to cover mosques on the route of Kanwar Yatra was a contempt of the Supreme Court. The order to put curtains on mosques and mazars on the kanwar yatra route in Haridwar district, whoever has issued it, goes against the Supreme Court which has put a stay on an order which asked hotel and restaurant owners and fruit vendors on the route to display their names, caste and religious identity, Dhasmana said. Attacking the ruling BJP in the state, he said it has not learnt from its electoral defeats in Badrinath, Manglaur, Chitrakoot and Prayagraj. The message it has missed is that the entire country is one. BJP's divisive and discriminatory politics has been rejected. But the party is not learning, Dhasmana said. However, following criticism, the clothes covering the mosques were removed by the evening on Friday. We received orders from the railway police post to remove the curtains. That is why we have come to remove these, said Danish Ali, appointed as a special police officer (SPO) by the administration for the yatra's management. This is not the first time mosques had been covered by the government during Hindu festivities. In March this year, ahead of the Holi festival, several mosques in UP were covered with tarpaulin sheets, which the authorities dubbed as a move o prevent them from being smeared with colours, which could affect communal harmony. According to reports, this has remained a custom in UP since Yogi Adityanath came to power. In April this year, a mosque in Hyderabad was also covered in white clothes ahead of the Ram Navami procession passing through the route. Several mosques and Muslim localities, across different states in the country were attacked by Hindutva groups during the Ram Navami procession last year. (With inputs from PTI)

Sreeleela Eyes Solo Heroine Roles, Declines Sardar 2?
Hyderabad: If Chennai sources are to be believed, hotshot actress Sreeleela has reportedly thumbed down a role opposite Tamil star Karthi since the film had two heroines. Sreeleela prefers solo heroine roles even in Kollywood and didnt want to share screen space with another actress. Apparently, she declined a role in Sardar 2 which was launched recently since the action-adventure was planned as a two-heroine movie, he says and adds It is a good decision considering Sreeleelas popularity in Tollywood and looking to retain her brand value in Kollywood as well, No doubt, Sreeleelas last Telugu release Guntur Kaaram was a commercial success, and her energetic dancing with superstar Mahesh Babu in the song Kurichi Madathapetti became a rage the world over. She is an excellent dancer and proved her mettle in varied Telugu movies like Dhamaka and Skanda. Right now, she is busy promoting retail brands in Chennai and minting some money and biding her time for a plum role with a big Tamil star, he points out. In fact, Sreeleela worked with big stars like Ravi Teja, and Ram Pothineni and played a key role with Balakrishna in Bhagavanth Kesari. 'Working with stars always pays well and gets more mileage, he concludes.

Dhanush Raayan draws lukewarm collections in AP/TG?
After his last film Captain Miller sank without a trace in the two Telugu states, Tamil star Dhanush returned with another action film Raayan but it failed to draw big openings. It just managed to collect Rs 1.5 crore net collections on day one which is lukewarm and unimpressive for such a big film, says a distributor who adds, Despite big promotions and Dhanush himself promoting the film in Hyderabad, yet the action adventure revolving around three brothers and sister failed to enthuse Telugu audience, he adds. In fact, Dhanush turned director for this gangster movie and it was released in over 250-odd theatres in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana but many theatres witnessed negligible footfalls. It had a decent release and got the best of theatres in two Telugu states but somehow the audience didnt turn up in big numbers, he points out. The film, which is valued around Rs 6 crore plus in Telugu states, has to pick up drastically this Saturday and Sunday to break even, otherwise it will turn difficult in the days to come, he concludes.

Hyderabad Twin blast convict Maqbool dies in Cherlapally Jail
Hyderabad: Syed Maqbool, also known as Zubair and Shanawaz, a convict in the Dilsukhnagar twin blasts case, passed away due to prolonged ill health at Cherlapally Central Prison. Maqbool, 44, an activist of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) terror outfit, had reportedly assembled a pressure cooker bomb for Rs 2000, reliable police sources revealed. A native of Nanded, Maharashtra, Zubair played a pivotal role in the 2013 Dilsukhnagar twin blasts, which occurred at the TSRTC bus stand number-7. He had reportedly triggered the bombs using a remote sensor and transmitter/receiver that he prepared after undergoing militant training on the India-Kashmir border with Pakistani terrorists. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested Maqbool in 2013, during which he confessed to organizing a series of high-profile attacks across India, including the deadly 2013 Dilsukhnagar bomb blasts. Maqbool, who died on July 25 while undergoing treatment at Cherlapally Central Prison, was linked with Indian Mujahideen members based in Pakistan and India and was deeply involved in various terror plots and conspiracies. The NIA investigation revealed Maqbool maintained close ties with key figures of the Indian Mujahideen, including top Pakistani IM activists Ubaid-Ur-Rehman, Imran Khan, and Riyaz Bhatkal, who were reportedly present in India at the time of the twin blasts. The conspiracy was hatched by Riyaz, Maqbool, Ubaid, and Imran, with Maqbool triggering the twin blasts. Before his arrest, Maqbool, along with other IM activists, conducted reconnaissance on major projects in Hyderabad, including dams and irrigation projects, aiming to cause maximum damage. They identified major public places and projects throughout India, conducting extensive reconnaissance of important sites, maps, and blueprints. Maqbool was arrested by the NIA in 2013 and was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2023 by a special court in Delhi. The NIA filed a chargesheet detailing the IM's conspiracy and involvement in organizing a series of devastating blasts across the country. These acts of terror included the Varanasi blasts in 2006, the Mumbai serial blasts in 2006, the UP Courts serial blasts in Varanasi, Faizabad, and Lucknow in 2007, the Jaipur serial blasts in 2008, the Delhi serial blasts in 2008, the Ahmedabad serial blasts in 2008, the Chinnaswamy Stadium blast in Bangalore in 2010, and the Hyderabad twin blasts in 2013. Maqbool was serving a life sentence for his role in the Dilsukhnagar blasts, which claimed 18 lives and injured over 130 people. He was shifted to Cherlapally prison in November 2023 to serve his sentence in connection with cases registered against him in Telangana, sources disclosed.

CM Revanth Reddy lambasts Harish Rao for speaking lies in Assembly
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday said the BRS MLA and former Minister T Harish Rao spoke lies in the Assembly in connection with installation of meters to agricultural pump sets in the State.

People gave a mandate against the BRS and punished them in the public court. The Opposition remains Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday said the BRS MLA and former Minister T Harish Rao spoke lies in the Assembly in connection with installation of meters to agricultural pump sets in the State.unchanged and makes false statements, he said. Revanth Reddy said the previous BRS government sold out Outer Ring Road (ORR) at a meager amount of Rs.7,000 crore. The BRS leaders swindled crores of rupees in sheep distribution scam. Huge corruption took place in the prestigious Batukhamma saree distribution scheme. The previous government exploited women's sentiments. The BRS leaders looted crores of rupees meant for the innocent Kuruma and Yadav communities. The Opposition leaders gave conflicting figures on the expenditure incurred on the Kaleshwaram project. Now, they are saying Rs 94,000 crore. We are ready to make public the statistical data of the lands worth crores of rupees sold out in the previous government. The Opposition is speaking out only debts and suppressed the facts of the sale of lands, he explained. No progress has been made in the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation scheme in the last 10 years. As many as Rs 20,000 crore were spent on Palamuru project but the project has not been completed, Revanth Reddy said, adding that Ranga Reddy district has been turned into a desert as it was neglected completely. Costly lands in Ranga Reddy district were sold out but no irrigation facility in the district. It is not good on part of BRS to speak lies even after people rejected the party in the Lok Sabha elections.

Hyderabad: Three fake doctors were arrested following the Telangana Medical Councils (TGMC) verification of doctors working at 40 centres dedicated skin, laser, hair, and cosmetology in Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Madhapur, Hitech City, Kukatpally, and Miyapur. Additionally, 20 centres were found operating without qualified dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or the necessary permissions from the district registration authority. Some centres were employing dental, ayurvedic, and homoeopathy practitioners who were using lasers beyond their qualifications. Notices were issued to the unqualified practitioners. Such practices pose serious risks, including infections, scarring, and incorrect diagnoses. Only doctors with MBBS, MD Dermatology, or MCH Plastic Surgery qualifications should perform cosmetic treatments like hair transplantation, said Dr G. Srinivas, TGMC vice-chairman. Dr Srinivas reported that over 200 complaints had been received, with actual incidents likely to be 10 times higher. He outlined the harmful effects of unqualified persons performing these procedures, including drug reactions, chemical burns, and sepsis due to inadequate aseptic precautions. Around 70 per cent of clinics are being run by non-doctors and dentists, who are performing aesthetic procedures with unauthorised certificates, Dr Srinivas said. P. Ranjitha, a 21-year-old model, regularly seeks cosmetic treatments. I research the doctors qualifications and patients reviews thoroughly before getting treated, she said.

Rains expose the dangers that the city roads spell
Hyderabad: The heavy rain that has been lashing the city is posing severe risks to motorists who have to wade through roads that are in terrible shape, made worse by myriad potholes and waste dumps. It is common to come across two-wheelers skidding on such stretches and tragic coming to a standstill. This sorry state prevails across all colonies, localities, busy thoroughfares and main roads in the city. Of the 9,013 km road network within the limits of GHMC, 6,167 km boasts of CC roads while BT roads make for the remaining 2,846 km. It is a horrifying experience when one uses the Seven Tombs road, the road between AOC and Safilguda, the one near Jubilee Bus Station and the stretch between Musheerabad and Secunderabad, et al. Even more ridiculous is that the civic authorities are failing to take up repair works and they dont even clear the garbage, which is causing further inconvenience to the residents, Farhana Khan from Chilkalguda said the garbage dump in front of the Millat Model High School has not been cleared for several days now. Many hospitals are reporting an increasing number of cases with seasonal diseases. Unless the authorities step in and clear the dumps, we would see a spurt in cases. The roads in Padmaraonagar and Chilkalguda are ridden with potholes. Srinivas Rao from King Koti said, The roads at Hanuman Tekdi and Ram Kote spell danger for pedestrians and vehicles, while the roads at Mallepally are creating traffic nuisance because of their pathetic condition. In fact, the Hyderguda to Basheerbagh stretch, right where the police control station is situated, is terrible.
BRS Pumping Up KLIS Issue, a Likely Ploy to Insulate KCR
Hyderabad: The BRS, haunted by the near-disaster that the Kaleshwaram project has turned into under its watch, appears to be desperately trying to up the ante accusing the Congress government of inaction and not putting the project to appropriate use. At the heart of the issue for the BRS is the real prospect of its president and former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao being called to depose before the Justice P.C. Ghose Commission of Inquiry, a prospect that the opposition party views as near blasphemy. Worried over this prospect, the BRS has launched a fresh campaign with its working president K.T. Rama Rao on Thursday and Friday leading a party MLAs visit to the projects Kannepalli Lakshmi pump house and the partially sunk Medigadda barrage to make a case showing the flowing Godavari river and the still standing barrage as a testament to the vision and construction acumen of the BRS government. Rama Raos latest demand of pumping water from the Kannepalli pump house to lift water from Medigaddas upstream region and pour it into the upstream of Annaram barrage, even as he dismissed the partial sinking of the Medigadda barrage as a small problem, is believed to be more of a strategic demand to raise political heat on the Kaleshwaram project amidst the possible eventuality of Chandrashekar Rao having to explain his role and decision making in all aspects of the project before the Justice Ghose commission. If Chandrashekar Rao is asked to depose before the Commission, the BRS is expected to launch a noisy campaign charging the Congress government with a political witch-hunt targeting its president, and try to insulate him from any potential fallout from the findings of the commission if the find his culpability and that of the BRS government he led on why a part of Medigadda barrage almost came close to collapse, and why Annaram and Sundilla barrages sprang serious leaks, and why two of the three pump houses of the project were flooded. If the Congress response so far is anything to go by with irrigation minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy leading the charge and trashing the BRSs insistence, claims, demands, and possible notice of direct action of going and switching on the motors at the projects pump houses then the principal opposition party may well have to swim against the tide on the issue. The threat to the barrages as the NDSA made it clear in its direction that no storage must be attempted is very real if any attempt to store water at them is made. Unless water is stored, the pump houses at Kannepalli, Siripuram, and Goliwada cannot be used to lift water from Medigadda to Annaram, from Annaram to Sundilla and from Sundilla to Sripada Yellampalli reservoir. This would mean closing the gates at Annaram and Sundilla, putting the barrages at grave risk, just the kind of risk the BRS is seeking to protect its chief from.

Hyderabad: Motorists have struggled with severe traffic congestion in Uppal for over two years due to delays in completing the elevated corridor on the Hyderabad-Warangal National Highway. Started in 2020, the project is only 40 per cent complete, hindered by land acquisition and financial issues.
