With constant inflows from upstream areas, the dams level was at 101.73tmcft as against its full capacity of 105tmc-ft, with constant inflows from upstream parts. The dam was receiving 87766 cusecs of inflows and 83,969 cusecs of outflows being released into the river and also the dependent high level main canal and low level canal. The Tungabhadra Board opened 28 crest gates to discharge water into the river towards Srisailam via Hampi in Vijayanagar, Bichali in Raichur district and Mantralayam in Kurnool district. The historic sites closer to the river bed were submerged following the release of water into the river from the dam. The farmers under the Tungabhadra river were happy over the river flowing heavily in the season, a bit early, after the river lay dried up for a year. The farmers offered pooja for TB water at the high level main canal at the AP borders in Anantapur district. The HLMC authorities were planning to fill summer storage tanks along with dependent small reservoirs to meet the drinking water needs for the year. Another major project, Almatti, was receiving constant heavy flows due to floods in upstream Maharashtra areas. As a result, 2.66 lakh cusecs of inflows was released towards Krishna river. The Srisailam reservoir recorded a level of 107.19tmc-ft with 2.11 lakh cusecs of inflows. Official sources said Srisailam was likely to get filled in a few days following heavy floods in the Krishna basin in Maharashtra.

Former Top Cop To Contest Maharashtra Assembly Poll From Mumbai Seat
Mumbai: Former Maharashtra director general of police Sanjay Pandey, who was also former Mumbai police commissioner, has decided to contest the upcoming state Assembly election. Pandey informed on Friday that he will contest from Mumbais Versova assembly seat. I have been wanting to join politics for some time now. But earlier I did not get the opportunity. Now I have decided to contest the state Assembly election and even finalised Versova assembly seat, the former IPS officer said. An IIT-Kanpur alumnus and 1986 batch IPS officer, Pandey retired from the police service in June 2022 and was arrested by the ED and CBI a month later in connection with NSE illegal phone tapping case. In April 2021, the Maharashtra government led by then chief minister Uddhav Thackeray appointed Pandey as the DGP of Maharashtra. The appointment attracted a lot of controversy and anger among senior IPS officers as many alleged that Pandey was chosen over more deserving IPS officers. Later in February 2022, the Thackeay government also made Mumbai Police Commissioner by the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi government. The BJP had alleged that the Thackeray government had appointed him as the Mumbai police commissioner on the condition that he will implicate Devendra Fadnavis in a false case and arrest him. Pandey retired the same month Uddhav Thackeray stepped down from the chief ministers post following Eknath Shindes rebellion. Prior to the Lok Sabha election earlier this year, Pandey had expressed the desire to contest the election. However, he changed his decision after not receiving any positive response from any of the political parties he had approached. He had claimed that he had reached out to some political parties, including the Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress, but he did not receive any response from them. According to reports, Pandey will form his own party before the Assembly election. He claimed that he decided to enter politics after a lot of people urged him to do so.

PoP Ganesha idols still rule peoples mindspace
Ganesha idols kept for sale for the upcoming Ganesh Chathurthi Fesitival at RV Road in Bengaluru on Thursday. (DC) Ganesha idols kept for sale for the upcoming Ganesh Chathurthi Fesitival at RV Road in Bengaluru on Thursday. (DC) Hyderabad : Even a year after the Telangana Ganesh Murti Kalakar Welfare Association received strictures from the Telangana High Court on defending the use of the Plaster of Paris (PoP), Dhoolpet is awash with Ganesha idols made of PoP. However, there is a significant increase in the number of clay idols, hinting at the rising awareness among people in the city. With Ganesha Chaturthi 43 days away, the idol making is in full swing, with workers sourced from Chennai, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh are on job. During interactions with Deccan Chronicle, the idol sellers at Miyapur, Kukatpally, Nagole and Chaderghat pointed out that most orders were for PoP idols but there is a significant rise in demand for clay idols compared to the previous year. Most people want PoP idols as they are stronger. Generally, if their chosen idol is less than five feet, we recommend clay idols. However, if the height is more than five feet, the customers insist on POP idols, said an idol maker from Dhoolpet. At Khairatabad Ganesh mandap, workers from various states are working day and night to prepare the 70-foot-tall eco-friendly idol. An official overseeing the work at the famous Khairatabad Ganesh said that work was getting delayed due to the rain and they were compelled to double the work force. Apart from local workers, those from Chennai, Andhra Pradesh, Mumbai are shaping the idol, said Mahesh Yadav, vice-president of Sri Ganesh Utsav committee. The idol for this year will be crafted in the form of 'Saptamukhi Shakti Maha Vinayakudu', which features seven faces, seven snakes, and 14 hands, he added.

Case Registered After Derogatory Post Against Fadnavis on Social Media
Mumbai: Maharashtra police registered an FIR against a user of the social media platform X for allegedly posting derogatory memes and remarks against Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.Based on a complaint filed by Prathamesh Patil, a case was registered at Khadakpada police station in Thane district under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for promoting enmity between different groups and public mischief. The complaint specifies that the X handle @gajabhauX has been creating and sharing derogatory memes featuring morphed photographs of Fadnavis since July 19. The posts contain morphed pictures of Fadnavis portraying Afzal Khan, Aurangzeb and other Mughal personalities. The posts also contain texts having use derogatory language against the Deputy CM considering him as the evil villain responsible for all the bad that is happening in the state. The complainant claimed the posts created a sense of dissatisfaction and insecurity among people. The police are currently investigating the matter, and no arrests have been made yet. In February this year, the Mumbai police arrested one person Yogesh Sawant for allegedly sharing a video on social media in which a death threat was issued to Fadnavis. In the video, the accused allegedly abused the senior BJP leader and also issued a death threat to Fadnavis. In May, former journalist Ketan Tirodkar was arrested by Mumbai police for issuing threats and defaming Fadnavis and likening him to the drug mafias. Tirodkar shared a video on social media and alleged that the deputy CM helps the drug mafia and that he does not take strict actions against the drug mafia. Fadnavis has been a target on social media platforms after the fall of the Uddhav Thackeray government in Maharashtra in June 2022. Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and NCP (SP) sympathisers have accused Fadnavis of several things including being anti-Maharashtra, Manuvadi etc. The BJP leader, who is a Brahmin, has also been the biggest target of Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange and his followers, who have accused him of intentionally sabotaging the demand for the Maratha reservation under the OBC quota.

PUNE: Police have filed a chargesheet against seven accused in connection with the Porsche car accident case, including the parents of a minor boy who was allegedly behind the wheel, in a Pune court, more than two months after the fatal crash, an official said on Friday. The 900-page chargesheet, submitted on Thursday in a sessions court, has excluded the 17-year-old boy, whose case is being handled separately by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB), while the seven accused have been charged under IPC sections related to criminal conspiracy and causing disappearance of evidence, among others. The high-end car allegedly driven by the minor under the influence of alcohol knocked down two motorbike-borne IT professionals originally hailing from Madhya Pradesh, one of them a woman, in Pune's Kalyani Nagar area in the wee hours of May 19, killing them. The boy's father, Vishal Agarwal, is a prominent builder. We have filed a 900-page chargesheet against seven accused, including the parents of the minor, two doctors and a staffer from Sassoon General Hospital and two middlemen, in a Pune court on Thursday, said Shailesh Balkawade, Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime). The boy's parents and two Sassoon General Hospital doctors -- Ajay Taware, then-HOD of the forensic medicine department, and Dr Shrihari Halnor -- and one Atul Ghatkamble, a staffer at the Maharashtra government-run medical facility, are accused o f swapping the blood samples of the minor with those of his mother after the crash. The juvenile's blood samples were replaced with those of his mother to evade detection of alcohol content. Pune Porsche crash: Police arrest juvenile's mother for swapping blood sample Two other accused -- Ashpak Makandar and Amar Gaikwad -- acted as middlemen between the boy's father and the doctors to facilitate financial transactions to swap the blood samples, according to the chargesheet. The voluminous police document contains statements of 50 witnesses. Additional Commissioner of Police Balkawade said the chargesheet contains a crash impact analysis report, technical evidence, forensic laboratory and DNA reports. The police had prepared a crash impact analysis report of the accident with the help of a forensic expert. The purpose of the report is to correlate the impact of the Porsche car on the motorbike involved in the accident and also correlate with injuries of the IT professionals who died. Last month, the police had submitted the final report to the JJB detailing all evidence against the 17-year-old boy in the car crash case. While the minor boy's parents are still in jail, he was released from an observation home in Pune following a Bombay High Court order late last month. Pune Porsche accident: Minor gets bail 15 hours after knocking duo to death; told to write 300-word essay Besides the main case related to the crash, the police had slapped two more cases -- one against owners and staffers of Cosie restaurant and Hotel Blak Club, where the teenager allegedly consumed liquor before the accident, and also the father of the juvenile under sections 75 and 77 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act. While section 77 of the JJ Act deals with supplying a child with intoxicating liquor or drugs, which was applicable to the owner and managers of the two establishments, section 75 of JJ Act deals with punishment for cruelty to child. The section 75 applies to the boy's father as he gave his son the car despite knowing the boy did not have a driving license, thus endangering his life. He also allowed his son to party even while knowing he drinks alcohol. The second case was registered against the father and the grandfather of the minor for allegedly kidnapping and confining their family driver and then threatening and pressuring him to tell the police that he was behind the wheel at the time of the crash. The police, after obtaining blood reports and finding they were manipulated, added IPC sections 201 (causing disappearance of evidence), 120B (criminal conspiracy), 467 (forgery of valuable security), 213 (taking gift, etc to screen an offender from punishment) and 214 (offering gift or restoration of property in consideration of screening offender) to the original offence lodged against the minor. The original offence was registered under section IPC sections 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 304A (causing death by negligence), 279 (rash driving) and relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act.
