No political comments will be made at Muruga conference, says TN BJP president Nainar
CHENNAI: BJP State president Nainar Nagenthran on Tuesday assured that the Muruga devotees conference, scheduled for 22 June in Madurai, will remain entirely apolitical. Speaking at a press conference at the BJP headquarters, he said, Contrary to the DMKs expectations, no political comments or views will be made during the conference. Devotees of Lord Muruga from all political backgrounds, including DMK and Congress, are welcome to attend. Responding to DMK deputy general secretary Kanimozhis remark that the conference is a tool for the weak to gain strength, Nagenthran countered, The reality is different. The BJP alliance is strong, which is why we are being criticised. The media frequently questions seat allocation in our alliance but does not ask similar questions to DMK president MK Stalin or his allies. He confirmed that Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan will attend the conference, while Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanaths participation is yet to be confirmed. Devotees from Malaysia, Singapore, and Colombo will also take part. Nagenthran released an audio cassette about the event. One of the organisers said massive arrangements are under way, including an exhibition featuring portraits and brief histories of saints who worshipped Lord Muruga, and a mass recital of Skanda Shasti Kavacham by over five lakh devotees.

Feast on Mangoes, before it's too late at this food festival in Chennai
Theres nothing like biting into a ripe, juicy mango, eating away its golden-yellow flesh, and scraping off every last bit of the fruit from the seed with our teeth, until only a pale white seed remains. For Chennaiites, this is religious, as every summer brings a vibrant parade of mangoes into the citys fruit stalls from the sweet Imam Pasand, to the tangy Banganapalli, and the fragrant Alphonso. Every variety has its moment of glory, piled high on vendor carts, drawing customers like bees. But as June prepares to draw to an end and the south-west monsoon treats us with occasional rainfall, the once-abundant displays begin to shrink. The prices of mangoes creep up, and our favourite varieties start disappearing one after another, reminding us that the season is slipping away. But what if we told you that you dont have to part with mangoes in sorrow this season? What if, instead, you could celebrate the fruit in all its glory served fresh and cold in cocktails, stirred into savouries, and folded into desserts? Chef, food historian, and MasterChef India (Tamil) judge Rakesh Raghunathan along with Wild Garden Caf, Amethyst, Chennai, are presenting Amra a mango festival between June 20 and 30; ready to give the fruit the send-off it deserves. We wanted to create recipes and dishes with mangoes that people wont get in restaurants, Chef Rakesh says, adding that the 15 new additions to the Wild Garden Caf menu took him three weeks to curate. In the south, we dont make a lot of food with ripened mangoes, barring a few recipes like the mambazha pulissery. So, I wanted to feature the fruit and showcase its versatile flavours as much as possible with this curation, he declares. Classics reimagined One of the dishes on this menu is a curated platter, crafted for those whod wish to pair their mangoes with cocktails and mocktails. Called Mango Mayhem, the platter is a sweet-and-savoury balance made to complement every sip. There is a salsa with ripe mangoes, a salsa with raw mangoes, and drawing inspiration from the Marina beach, we have done a thenga-manga pattani hummus. These dips are paired with ragi thattais (millet crisps) and rice vadagam (crisps), Rakesh says. For one of the main course dishes, the food historian chose 'Avakkai Biryani,' a dish inspired from neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. The biryani a fragrant, regional flavour that is layered with spices is not just cooked with the oil and pickled avakkai, he says. The dish is made or treated like a biryani, with oil, ghee, onions, tomatoes, and whole spices, cooked really well, before adding the avakkai pickles gravy and oil. It has a subtle flavour of mustard and the chilli powder, he adds. The pickle however, was prepared with the last seasons raw mangoes, allowing the fruit to soak in the gravy and oil for a richer flavour, he notes. For non-vegetarians, theres Mango Chilli Chicken a dish where sweet mango takes centre stage. Inspired by the classic honey-glazed chilli chicken, this version offers a gentle kick from the chilli, while still letting the natural sweetness of the mango shine through, explains Rakesh. And whats a mango feast without dessert the course it feels most at home? Among the three recipes on the menu sits the Mango Bhappa Doi . Inspired from the Bengali Mishti Doi , the traditionally steamed yogurt dessert paves way for sweet ripe mangoes, served cold in a small earthen pot, garnished with finely chopped, fresh mangoes. When asked whether the constant innovation that goes behind such carefully curated courses puts him under pressure to keep creating something new, Rakesh says no. I love to experiment its the creative process I enjoy the most, he concludes.

Telangana to convene all-party meeting on June 18 over controversial Godavari-Banakacherla project
HYDERABAD: The Telangana government has announced a crucial meeting to be held on June 18, 2025 at the Secretariat, inviting all Members of Parliament (both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) to discuss the proposed Godavari-Banakacherla (G-B) project put forward by the Andhra Pradesh government. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will attend the meeting. Union Ministers G. Kishan Reddy, who also serves as the BJP state president, and Bandi Sanjay Kumar have also been extended invitations to contribute their views. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said Andhra Pradesh had submitted its proposal for the G-B project to the Ministries of Jal Shakti and Finance. According to a preliminary study, the project appears to violate both the Godavari Water Dispute Tribunal (GWDT) award of 1980 and the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act (APRA), 2014. The project, if implemented, would adversely impact the water rights of Telangana, he reiterated. The Minister further recalled that he had written to the Union Ministers of Finance and Jal Shakti on January 22, 2025, outlining Telanganas objections. Jal Shakti Minister C.R. Patil, in his response dated May 28, 2025, assured that the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the G-B link scheme had not yet been submitted to the Central government. He added that once received, the project would be reviewed in accordance with existing tribunal awards, inter-state agreements, and APRA provisions. Centre hasnt taken any decision yet on Godavari-Banakacherla: Kishan Uttam Kumar Reddy also mentioned that he and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy had met Minister Patil in New Delhi on June 3, 2025, where they again expressed Telanganas strong reservations about the project. He further stated that a follow-up letter was sent to Minister Patil on June 13, 2025, reiterating Telanganas request to reject the Pre-Feasibility Report (PFR) of the G-B project, which is currently under review by the Central Water Commission (CWC). In light of these developments, and to determine the next steps, we are holding this meeting to seek the views and suggestions of all MPs from Telangana. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy will be present, and we hope for constructive inputs from all stakeholders, including Union Ministers G. Kishan Reddy and Bandi Sanjay Kumar, said Uttam Kumar Reddy. It may be noted that the Godavari-Banakacherla project proposed by Andhra Pradesh seeks to divert 200 TMCFT of Godavari water to the Penna basin via the Krishna basin, at an estimated cost of Rs 80,000 crore. Telangana has consistently objected to the plan, citing that it has not received clearance from the Apex Council, the Godavari River Management Board, or any other statutory body, as mandated by the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014. Recently, Andhra Pradesh officials presented their arguments in favour of the project to the Union Finance Ministry.

Hyderabad-bound Lufthansa flight diversion due to bomb threat upsets passengers
HYDERABAD: A 20-hour layover at the Frankfurt airport has disrupted the onward travel plans of most passengers after their Hyderabad-bound Lufthansa flight was denied permission to land at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport here. The flight LH752 departed Frankfurt at around 2.30 pm on Sunday and was originally expected to land in Hyderabad at 6 am on Monday. However, the non-stop flight was diverted back to its origin airport due to a omb threat. After three hours of journey on Saturday, the passengers were informed that the flight had no permission to land at Hyderabad Airport and hence the aircraft was going back to Frankfurt. All our onward journey plans were upset. I have to go see my parents Guntakal in Andhra Pradesh, Madhvi Latha, a passenger on the flight, told PTI videos. Another passenger, Venu, who was travelling from San Francisco, expressed shock over the turnaround and said his flight was airborne for nearly four hours before it returned. His onward journey resumed only around 10 am the next day, significantly delaying his arrival in Hyderabad. They told us that the flight is going to return. We didn't understand. It was a shock for us that the flight was coming back. It was a shock when they told us that the flight was going to return. We did not understand what was happening, Venu said, expressing relief that all passengers were safe. The disruption caused even longer delays for some passengers. Arogyam Chowdhury, who originally had flown from Canada, experienced the longest delay in the group with his layover in Frankfurt lasting nearly 72 hours. According to Hyderabad Airport sources, a bomb threat email targeting Lufthansa flight LH 752 was received at the Hyderabad airport at 18.01 hours on June 15. They said a bomb threat assessment committee was formed and all procedures were followed as per standard operating procedure. In the interest of safety, the airline was advised to divert back to the origin or the nearest suitable airport. Flight LH 752 -- operated by a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft -- departed from Frankfurt at 14. 29 hours instead of its scheduled departure time of 13.05 hours, as per flight tracking website flightradar24.com .

Telangana Minister Uttam asks Centre to reject AP request for appraisal of Banakacherla
HYDERABAD: Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Monday requested Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav not to undertake any appraisal of the Polavaram-Banakacherla project proposed by the Andhra Pradesh government and reject outright the request to grant ToR in the upcoming meeting of EAC. In a letter to the Union minister, Uttam said that the AP government submitted the proposal to the Ministry of Environment and Forest requesting terms of reference (ToR) for the Polavaram-Banakacherla link project to divert 200 tmcft of floodwaters. This proposal was included as an agenda item for the 33rd meeting of the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) on river valley projects scheduled on June 17, 2025. In this regard, it is to state that Andhra Pradesh has no locus standi for undertaking such a link project as the proposal submitted by it is totally against the Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal, 1980. The Telangana government, in its earlier protracted correspondence to MoEF/MoJS/CWC/GRMB/PPA, has explicitly stated that AP has no right to unilaterally proceed with such a huge project which will alter the water dynamics of the River Godavari infringing on the water rights of Telangana state, Uttam wrote to Yadav in the letter. The Ministry of Jal Shakti too on its part assured Telangana that Central Water Commission (CWC) would duly examine such a proposal in accordance with extant guidelines, existing awards, inter-state agreements and various provisions under Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, Uttam recalled. The letter also pointed out that the AP submitted the Pre-Feasibility Report (PFR) of the project proposal to the Project Appraisal Directorate of the Central Water Commission (CWC) on May 23, 2025. The PFR was then forwarded to KRMB, GRMB and co-basin states on June 11, for their comments, he wrote. AP usurping waters through expansion of Polavaram proj: Uttam The PFR was also forwarded to Polavaram Project Authority (PPA) by the CWC stating that the proposal envisages extensive changes in the dimensional features of components of Polavaram project, Uttam wrote, adding that the present scheme proposal was nothing but unilateral modification of GWDTA provisions/TAC approvals accorded by way of expansion of Polavaram project for usurping waters under the guise of floodwaters, which is not tenable. It is a normal practice that AP resorts to such consistent violations of the Awards both in Krishna and Godavari basins and enlarging the scope of several projects, Uttams letter said. These actions of AP government are in gross violation of the environment clearance accorded to Polavaram by the MoEF in 2005... The MoEF, on its part, had issued a stop work order on February 8, 2011 due to the changes in such scope of work and there being no clearance for such changed scope of the project, Uttam recalled. He added that it was kept in abeyance and thereafter had been extended repeatedly from time to time till July 2, 2026, thus allowing the project works despite concerns being raised by Telangana, Odisha and Chhattisgarh. The Union government too, after assigning Polavaram the National Project Status, was reimbursing the expenditure only as per approved works. The matter is also sub judice before the Supreme Court, Uttam pointed out, urging the Ministries of Jal Shakti and Environment to convene a meeting of all the stakeholders and discuss these issues. Harishs remarks politically motivated: Minister In response to his predecessor T Harish Raos remarks, Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Monday termed the former ministers comments politically motivated. Since the Congress came to power, we have been strongly presenting our case before KWDT-II, not just to secure Telanganas 68.5% share of 811 tmcft, but also the additional 45 tmcft due downstream of Nagarjunasagar project under the Polavaram substitution, he said. Uttam accused Harish of acting out of ignorance and political bias. You and your party have repeatedly failed to prioritise Telanganas water rights. Rest assured, our government will take all necessary steps to prevent Andhra Pradesh from unlawfully diverting even a single drop of Godavari water under the guise of floodwaters, he added.
Centre hasnt taken any decision yet on Godavari-Banakacherla: Kishan
HYDERABAD: Insisting that the Centre has not taken any decision on the Godavari-Banakacherla (G-B) project proposed by the Andhra Pradesh government, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy on Monday said that the Pre-Feasibility Report submitted to the Ministry of Jal Shakti is under examination. Addressing a press conference at the BJP state office, Kishan confirmed that the Telangana government has raised several issues and objections to the project, which he said were being looked into. The Central Water Commission (CWC) will study these concerns and submit a report, based on which the Centre will make a decision. As of now, nothing has been finalised, Kishan said. CM should take up G-B matter with Centre & AP, advises Kishan The BJP state president noted that water-related projects must adhere to established rules, regulations and MoUs. The Centre also seeks inputs from riparian states concerned before granting approvals. Criticising political leaders for targeting the BJP and Centre over the issue, the Union minister urged both the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments to hold discussions. He appealed to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to write to the Centre and to his Andhra Pradesh counterpart to resolve the matter. Revanth must take the initiative to raise Telanganas objections with the MoJS. The BJP is committed to protecting the rights of all states and their people on water issues, he said. BRS approach to health unhealthy Kishan accused the previous BRS government of failing to submit the required pro forma on infrastructure and facilities for medical colleges to the Union government. They didnt send even the basic information needed to secure support. We are now working with the Ministry of Health to find a way forward for the students, he said. The Union minister also appealed to Maoists to give up arms and participate in democratic processes, saying the nation would welcome them into the mainstream. He recalled that the BJP had filed a petition in the high court seeking a CBI probe into the phone-tapping case. The Congress government is now silent despite demanding a CBI inquiry when it was in the Opposition, he added. No tie-up for local polls Kishan announced that the BJP would contest all seats in the upcoming local body elections without forming alliances. He accused both the Congress and BRS of looting the state in similar ways and claimed that the peoples hopes for development and rural progress now rest solely with the BJP. He added that the party is encouraging youth participation in local body polls and would decide its course once the government announces reservation details and the election schedule. The Union minister said the Centre has announced a Census exercise, the first in 16 years. About 34 lakh enumerators and 1.34 lakh supervisors will be involved, and the entire process will be digitised using a specialised app. The enumeration will conclude by March 1, 2027, he stated.

Under PDS, TN to door deliver essentials to the elderly, disabled
CHENNAI: In a first for the state, the Tamil Nadu government is gearing up to launch a door-to-door delivery service of essential commodities such as rice, sugar, wheat, palmolein oil and toor dal under the Public Distribution System (PDS) to cater to those facing difficulties in accessing the fair price shops for their supplies. In the first phase, the scheme will cover around 15 lakh of the roughly 2.21 crore ration cardholders, focusing on those cardholding families that have only senior citizens aged 70 and above or persons with disabilities (PwDs) with no other family members available in a capacity to visit the shops for procurement. Beneficiaries will include both Priority Household (PHH) and Non-Priority Household (NPHH) cardholders. The proposed home delivery of commodities in Tamil Nadu, expected to start in July or August, will be implemented by the cooperation department using various vehicles such as maxi trucks, mini trucks and vans. A similar scheme, which was launched in Andhra Pradesh by the previous YSRCP government in 2021, was discontinued in May this year due to issues, including frequent failure of biometric authentication, irregularities in delivery and high operational costs. Chief Secretary N Muruganandam recently held a detailed review meeting with officials from the civil supplies and cooperation departments at the secretariat. According to official sources, the final list of beneficiaries is being finalised at the moment. An official said, Since 2021, new ration card applications from PwDs have been categorised under PHH. With this scheme, all PwDs, whether they hold PHH or NPHH cards, will receive home delivery of their ration items. The items will be handed over at the beneficiarys doorstep after biometric authentication by the delivery agent, added the official. Initiative wont face logistical hurdles due to strong transportation network Officials further told TNIE that the state is proceeding cautiously, mindful of the challenges faced by a similar scheme launched in Andhra Pradesh in 2021 and discontinued in May this year. Currently, Tamil Nadu has 24,800 full-time ration shops and 10,355 part-time shops catering to 2.21 crore ration cardholders. Cooperative societies managing ration shops have a robust transportation network for moving goods procured by the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation. These societies manage 35,000 ration shops. Therefore, rolling out door delivery will not face any logistical hurdles, an official added. Besides supporting people who face barriers in accessing the PDS, the initiative is expected to aid in streamlining and improving the efficiency in usage of storage space, especially in warehouses, and thereby minimising losses since the door delivery of goods in bulk would be done within the first week of every month. The state has issued over 18.45 lakh Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) cards to the poorest households, each eligible to receive 35kg of rice per month, some of who may become eligible for the door delivery scheme as well. To overcome the difficulties faced by many of these beneficiaries living in remote places, the cooperation department already operates 2,494 mobile fair price shops, primarily serving residents in geographically challenging areas such as hilly regions or locations cut off by rivers and highways. First phase to cover 15L ration cardholders In the first phase, the scheme will cover around 15 lakh ration cardholders, with the proposed home delivery expected to start in July or August, implemented by the cooperation department 2.21 crore Total number of ration cardholders PHH & PHH-AAY (under NFSA): 1.12 crore, NPHH: 1.1 crore The door delivery scheme proposes to cover: All persons with disabilities (PHH and NPHH) Senior citizens aged 70 and above
