HYDERABAD: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday proposed the formation of a national-level task force, under the leadership of the Prime Minister and chief ministers of key states, to harness the potential of Indias major citiesMumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad. Speaking at the 10th Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog in Delhi, Revanth said the task force should focus on comprehensive urban development, infrastructure enhancement, investment strategies and governance reforms specific to these cities. Revanth said that a dedicated and coordinated approach could drive national economic growth, create millions of jobs and improve Indias standing in the global urban economy. Its imperative to recognise the economic significance of Indias top six metropolitan citiesMumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad. These cities account for a substantial share of Indias urban GDP and are pivotal to economic growth, innovation and employment, he said. For instance, Mumbai and Delhi contribute 25.8 lakh crore and 24.5 lakh crore respectively, while Hyderabad, despite its smaller size, already accounts for nearly 2.5% of national GDP, the chief minister stated. Looking ahead to the centenary of Indian Independence in 2047, Revanth said the goal of becoming a Viksit Bharat with a USD 30 trillion economy was attainable. He added, Telangana is determined to play a leading role. The state envisions contributing 8% to the national GDP by 2047 as a Viksit Rajya. On the issue of caste census, Revanth said Telangana was willing to assist the Union government by sharing its methodology, institutional learnings and experience. Our proactive approach has helped shape this transformative national agenda, he said. Speaking about Telanganas urban development plans, the chief minister highlighted the Hyderabad Green Pharma Cityalso referred to as Future Cityas Indias first Net-Zero Greenfield Smart City. Spread over 14,000 acres, the city is planned as a multi-sectoral urban-industrial hub based on the Work, Live, Learn, and Play model. It is expected to accommodate 15 lakh residents and provide employment to 7.5 lakh people. Revanth also spoke about other ongoing urban infrastructure initiatives including the expansion of the Hyderabad Metro Rail network, the Musi River Rejuvenation Project, elevated expressways, and the Regional Ring Road. These projects, the chief minister said, are designed to improve connectivity, promote sustainable transport, and open up new areas for economic development. He urged the Union government to grant necessary clearances for the PalamuruRanga Reddy Lift Irrigation Scheme and extend central support under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY). Extending support to Operation Sindoor, the chief minister stated: The Government of Telangana reiterates its support to the Government of India and to the brave personnel engaged in Operation Sindoora critical step in the ongoing fight against terrorism. Telangana remains committed to maintaining peace and national unity. We salute the courage and sacrifice of our security forces and reaffirm our resolve to defeat all forms of terrorism.
Puducherry power minister seeks extension of 105 MW additional power allocation till September
PUDUCHERRY: Puducherry Power Minister Namassivayam has sought extension of additional allocation of power of 105 MW till September to meet Puducherrys peak summer requirement. Speaking at the Conference of Southern States and Union Territories held in Bengaluru, chaired by the Union Power Minister Manohar Lal, he thanked the centre for allocating an additional 105 MW of power from March 29 to May 31, 2025, which he said has helped the UT manage peak summer demand. However, with no significant power generation within Puducherry itself, he requested the Union Ministry of Power to continue this additional allocation until September 2025 to ensure an uninterrupted power supply. The minister also pointed out that the current load transfer capacity from the Southern Grid to Puducherry stands at 540 MW. To meet anticipated future demand, Namassivayam urged the centre to favourably consider a General Network Access (GNA) request for an additional 80 MW. Further emphasising power reliability, he called on NLC India Ltd to expedite the installation of an interconnecting transformer (ICT) at Neyveli. This project is critical to addressing N-1 contingency requirements and ensuring consistent power availability for the UT. Looking ahead, the UT of Puducherry has proposed procurement of 50 MW from NTPC Telangana, 100 MW from NLC and 50 MW from Kudankulam Units III and IV to accommodate growing demand. Recognising the power sector as a backbone of economic development, Namassivayam said Puducherry is actively pursuing infrastructure upgrades, including new substations, augmentation of existing 230 kV and 110 kV substations, and strengthening of the internal transmission grid. Puducherry: Once again, Puducherry Chief Minister N Rangasamy skipped the NITI Aayog meeting held in New Delhi on Saturday. Despite repeated invitations from the centre, Rangasamy, heading the AINRC-BJP government, has not attended a single NITI Aayog meeting since assuming office in 2021. The NITI Aayog meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is focussed on charting a roadmap to make India a developed nation by 2047 through the collaborative efforts of states and Union Territories. In fact, Rangasamy in previous years had no intention of participating as he had not even booked a flight for travel. He even refused to answer journalists who wanted to know about his participation or non-participation and the reasons for it.
HYDERABAD: The contacting agencies - Afcons and L&T - came forward to cooperate with Irrigation department in restoring the Annaram and Medigadda barrages of Kaleshwaram project as suggested by the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA). In its letter, Afcons said, The contractor assures the Irrigation department that it will provide all necessary assistance in execution of rehabilitation work as per its drawing and instruction and stand with it for safeguarding the structural integrity of the Annaram barrage and avoid any risk to the lives and livelihood of the dependent communities. However, Afcons wanted the department to pay the pending bills of Rs 176.49 crore and release the bank guarantee of Rs 43.38 crore. The NDSA recommended holistic rehabilitation design, which includes detailed assessment of the structural health and safety of the barrage, comprehensive geotechnical studies and advanced geophysical assessments, hydraulic design aided by appropriate hydraulic model studies and structural design through appropriate mathematical modelling software etc. Afcons wanted the department to engage designer/qualified specialised agency/design consultant to undertake rehabilitation design as suggested by NDSA. However, Afcons stated that as the monsoon has already commenced, the rehabilitation works may be taken up later. In another letter, L&T stated that they are of the opinion that the department should take up further geotechnical investigation. The contractor assured its cooperation based on certain mutually agreed terms for taking up new works and enable the Irrigation department for rehabilitation of the barrage. Stop AP project Meanwhile, Irrigation Engineer-in-Chief G Anil Kumar in a letter once again requested the Godavari River Management Board to prevent Andhra Pradesh from constructing Godavari-Banakacherla project. In the wake of reports that AP submitted the proposal to take up the project in Niti Aayog meeting, Anil Kumar requested GRMB to desist AP from taking up the proposal forward in any form and initiate action without further loss of time as per the provisions of the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014.
BRS rocked by Kavithas claims of devils around KCR; KTR warns of coverts loyal to Revanth Reddy
HYDERABAD: Who are the devils and coverts in the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS)? Are they the same, or are they distinct groups? Kavithas recent outburst, claiming that her father, K Chandrasekhar Rao, whom she regards as a god-like figure, is unfortunately surrounded by devils, has sparked intense debate. During a media conference on Saturday, BRS working president KT Rama Rao suggested that there might be coverts within the party loyal to Revanth Reddy, saying that it is common for political parties to be infiltrated by moles from rival groups. Ever since Kavithas six-page letter surfaced in the public domain, speculation has flared about how it was leaked and why she wrote it to her father in the first place. As BRS leaders grapple with these unanswered questions, KTRs comments about Revanth Reddys alleged moles have added another layer to the palace intrigue. In her letter, Kavitha mentioned devils surrounding her father but did not identify them or explain why they were targeting her. This has fuelled discussions about who these individuals might be, why they are targeting her, and how KCR remains unaware of their presence. A senior BRS leader, formerly part of the partys politburo, told TNIE that he was puzzled by Kavithas decision to raise the issue of devils publicly instead of discussing it privately with KCR. The leader speculated that there might be a rift between Kavitha, her family, and some leaders from her native Nizamabad district. He suggested that Kavitha might be referring to just two or three leaders who have hindered her rise within the partys hierarchy. At a recent media conference before leaving for the US, Kavitha alleged that certain individuals were attempting to politically defame her, most likely referring to the same group. BRS sources revealed that a few key members in both KCR and KTRs camps have been acting as moles for Revanth Reddy over the past four years, leaking sensitive party decisions and information about KCRs family. Party leaders confided to TNIE that KTR issued a stern warning, stating that these coverts compromising the partys interests for the Congress would face consequences. BRS leaders are now closely watching how KCR will navigate this challenging situation and mitigate the damage to the partys image.
Sridhar Babu accuses BRS of contradictory stance on ED; alleges secret ties with BJP
HYDERABAD: IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu accused the BRS of adopting contradictory approaches towards the Enforcement Directorate. It vilified the probe agency calling it a stooge in the hands of BJP when it was in power, and now hailing it as a paragon of virtue, alleged the minister. In a statement released on Saturday, Sridhar Babu sought to remind the BRS that the same investigative agency they now praise had previously registered a case against K Kavitha, the daughter of BRS supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao. Are they (BRS) now justifying the politically motivated and baseless cases being filed without evidence, he wondered. Stating that Sonia Gandhi made the dream of Telangana into a reality, he accused the BRS of having ruled the state like a spectre, inflicting suffering on people for a decade. Telanganas people are only now beginning to move past that dark chapter, he noted. Accusing the BRS of aiding the BJPs efforts to demoralise Congress workers through politically motivated ED cases against Rahul Gandhi, Sridhar Babu alleged a secret understanding between the two parties.
Talangana HC warns Rangareddy collector over contempt in pay scale case
HYDERABAD: Justice T Madhavi Devi of the Telangana High Court has pulled up Rangareddy District Collector C Narayana Reddy for failing to comply with a prior court order regarding the payment of minimum scale of pay to three office subordinates. The court has granted a final four-week deadline for compliance, warning that failure to act could invite punishment under the Contempt of Courts Act. The contempt proceedings stem from an earlier high court order dated April 2, 2024, directing the authorities to process the petitioners claims for minimum pay scale in light of the Supreme Courts landmark judgment in State of Punjab and Others vs. Jagjit Singh and Others. The ruling mandates that temporary workers performing duties similar to those of permanent employees should receive equal pay for equal work. Despite clear directions, Narayana Reddy, who was then the Nalgonda district collector, passed a speaking order on August 5, 2024, rejecting the petitioners representations. He cited the petitioners lack of employment in regular sanctioned posts as grounds for denial. In response, the petitioners counsel argued that the collectors stand was a deliberate deviation from the high courts order. Justice Madhavi Devi observed that the IAS officer had intentionally overlooked the SC ruling and failed to apply the legal standards laid down in the April 2 order.
KTR demands Revanths resignation after ED names him in National Herald case
HYDERABAD: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Saturday demanded the immediate resignation of A Revanth Reddy as chief minister after his name figured in the chargesheet filed by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the National Herald-Young India case. Describing it as an unprecedented insult to Telangana, he said, If Revanth has any integrity or morality left, he must step down immediately. Addressing reporters at a press conference at Telangana Bhavan, he also criticised the silence of BJP leaders in Telangana, in stark contrast to the stance of their counterparts in Karnataka who have openly criticised Congress leader DK Shivakumar in the same case. This exposes the unholy nexus between the BJP and Congress in the state, Rama Rao alleged, questioning why the Modi government was shielding the Congress government in Telangana. He claimed that Telangana has become an ATM for the Congress high command, alleging that whenever the party requires funds, Revanth delivers large amounts to secure his position. Rama Rao stated that in the past 17 months, Revanth made 44 trips to Delhi, not for Telanganas development but to plead with BJP leaders like Amit Shah to protect him from corruption charges. He added that despite not initiating any new project or implementing welfare schemes, the state has incurred a debt of Rs 1.8 lakh crore under Revanths leadership. Where is this money going? he asked. Rama Rao also accused the BJP of shielding corrupt Congress leaders in Telangana through secret political arrangements. Revanth is protecting BJP MPs involved in land scams, while the BJP is reciprocating by ignoring his corruption, he claimed. He criticised Rahul Gandhi for not holding Revanth accountable despite leading a nationwide campaign to save democracy. He concluded by saying the BRS would soon petition the Governor to seek permission for prosecution of the chief minister on corruption charges.
Telangana objects to AP's plan to draw Polavaram dead storage water; calls it unauthorised
HYDERABAD: The Telangana government has raised strong objections against the Andhra Pradesh governments reported plans to construct a new Lift Irrigation Scheme (LIS) drawing water from the dead storage of the Polavaram Irrigation Project. The Telangana government has called on the Godavari River Management Board (GRMB) to take immediate action as mandated under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act (APRA), 2014. On Saturday, Engineer-in-Chief (General) G Anil Kumar wrote a letter a copy of which was accessed by TNIE addressed to the Polavaram Project Authority (PPA) and the GRMB to prevent the proposal from moving forward. This objection comes in the wake of a news report published in a vernacular daily on May 21, which stated that the Andhra Pradesh government plans to lift water from a 35-metre level in the dead storage of the Polavaram reservoir during the current financial year. The report cited G.O. RT No. 134, issued on April 19, 2021, as the basis for the plan. The Telangana government argued that such a move is unauthorised and violates the approval conditions of the Central Water Commission (CWC) as per the 95th Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting held in 2009. It also pointed out that drawing water from dead storage would impact the Godavari Delta System (GDS) requirements and is inconsistent with the established guidelines. It had earlier flagged similar concerns in official communications sent in November 2021 and May 2022. During an interstate meeting on April 8, 2025, chaired by the CEO of the PPA, Andhra Pradesh officials reportedly informed that work on the proposed scheme had been halted. However, the recent media report indicates that the plan is being revived. Telangana officials also criticised what they described as a contradictory stance by Andhra Pradesh proceeding with new water extraction initiatives while simultaneously objecting to Telanganas irrigation projects on the grounds of insufficient water availability. The Telangana government requested that Andhra Pradesh be restrained from pursuing the project in any form and that necessary regulatory measures be enforced without further delay.
HYDERABAD: Till Saturday, the 72nd edition of Miss World was progressing as planned: A polite parade of poise, sequins and diplomatic smiles. Then came an unscheduled firework display by none other than Miss England 2024, Milla Maggie. Having left the competition on May 16, allegedly due to personal reasons, Maggie re-emerged in tabloid The Sun with claims that make Bridgerton look like a documentary. I went there to make a difference, but we had to sit like performing monkeys, The Sun quoted her as saying, suggesting the Miss World experience was less about world peace and more about looking glamorous. Maggie, 24, didnt stop there. In tones more suited to exposs than tiaras, she claimed the whole affair resembled a sort of high-end cattle fair, where women were paraded to impress wealthy individuals and she was made to feel like a prostitute being farmed out for entertainment. Understandably, this did not go down too well in Hyderabad which is hosting the pageant. The state government was swift in its response. Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary for Youth Advancement, Tourism and Culture, said, This is just an exaggerated situation. The Miss World Organisation (MWO) said Maggie cited health reasons for her departure. Meanwhile, the show goes on. England has now dispatched a replacement contestant, Charlotte Cox, to Hyderabad. Julia Morley, chairperson and CEO of MWO, attempted to close the chapter with a terse message: We responded to Maggies departure with compassion.

CM Revanth urges PM Modis backing for Telanganas chip, defence, metro projects
HYDERABAD: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to support Telanganas efforts in becoming a major player in Indias semiconductor ecosystem. Calling on Modi in Delhi, Revanth stated that Telangana is aligned with Indias Semiconductor Mission and aims to emerge as a hub for advanced semiconductor and electronics manufacturing. Stating that Hyderabad already hosts a strong ecosystem, with global R&D centres such as AMD, Qualcomm and NVIDIA and major manufacturers like Foxconn and Kaynes, Revanth highlighted Telangana as an attractive investment destination by pointing out the states offerings including seismic safety, industrial land availability, skilled workforce and supportive infrastructure. He requested Modis intervention to secure ISM project approval for Telangana, stating that this would boost investor confidence and contribute towards Indias target of $500 billion electronics production by 2030. He said ISM approval would help generate high-value jobs and strengthen Indias global position in semiconductor supply chains. 'Hyderabad best for a defence hub' Revanth also sought central support for defence-related initiatives, including Defence PSUs, private sector JVs and capacity-building for MSMEs. He described Hyderabad as the largest Make in India hub for aerospace and defence, supported by DRDO labs and over a dozen Defence PSUs. The chief minister said about 1,000 MSMEs in the city supply components to national and international OEMs, attracting companies such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, GE, Safran and Honeywell. He called for fast-track approvals for defence JVs and offsets and said that OEMs have shown interest in Telangana but need assured Government of India orders. The chief minister pointed out that defence MSMEs face high capital investment and long gestation periods, thus requiring PLI support and incentives. Revanth urged official recognition of the Hyderabad-Bengaluru corridor as a defence corridor to ensure parity with other regions. He also proposed Hyderabad as the venue for the next Defence Expo. Green flag sought for Metro Phase-2 The chief minister requested Cabinet approval and expedited clearance from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs for the Hyderabad Metro Rail Phase-2 project. He said the project involves five corridors totalling 76.4 km and will be implemented as a joint venture between the Union and state governments. The estimated project cost is 24,269 crore, with the Government of India contributing 18% (4,230 crore), Telangana 30% (7,313 crore), and the remaining 48% (11,693 crore) to be raised as debt. He recalled that the proposal had been submitted to the Centre on November 4, 2024, and that all requested clarifications have since been provided by the state. Parallel tracks Revanth reiterated the states request for financial and Cabinet approval for both the southern and northern parts of the Regional Ring Road (RRR). He said land acquisition for this greenfield project began in 2022 under the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), and Telangana has agreed to share 50% of the acquisition cost. Awards for over 90% of the required land have been sent to NHAI for approval and tenders have already been invited. The chief minister warned that executing only the northern segment first would increase land and construction costs for the southern portion due to price escalation. He said both segments should be implemented simultaneously for efficient utilisation and confirmed that Telangana is willing to bear 50% of the acquisition cost for the southern section as well. Rail and Road connectivity The chief minister also urged the Centre to approve a railway line running parallel to the RRR, stating that this 370 km route would create transformational opportunities across the state. Additionally, he requested the development of a greenfield highway from Bandar Port to a proposed dry port near Hyderabad, along with a railway line alongside the highway.
KTR sidesteps Kavithas letter, says BRS focus is on fighting Congress, BJP
HYDERABAD: The BRS leadership on Saturday sought to retain the partys focus on its criticism of the Congress and BJP by allowing itself to be sidetracked by the letter written by MLC K Kavitha to party supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao. At a press conference held at Telangana Bhavan, BRS working president KT Rama Rao made only passing references to the letter. He described it as an internal party matter, best addressed within party fora. It would be good to express certain issues internally, he said, before turning his focus to attacking the Congress government and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. When pressed, Rama Rao added that during pre-election reviews, many party leaders had submitted feedback in writing to the party president. He called the BRS a democratic organisation where members are free to offer suggestions. This formula applies to all, he remarked, reiterating that internal issues should remain within party discussions. Asked about Kavithas reference to devils in her letter, Rama Rao dismissed the speculation: The devil for Telangana is Revanth Reddy and the ghost is the Congress Party. Our focus is on removing both. He also addressed claims of coverts within the BRS, stating such elements exist in all parties and would eventually reveal themselves. Elsewhere, senior BRS leader T Harish Rao cancelled a scheduled press conference. According to his aide, this move was intended to prevent the conversation from shifting toward internal matters. Kavitha, meanwhile, remained out of public view, staying at her residence and not meeting her parents after returning from the US.

Revenue staffer from Visakhapatnam comes under police lens for terror link
VIZIANAGARM: Police, in coordination with the National Investigation Agency (NIA), and other central agencies, concluded the second day of interrogation of terror suspects Siraj and Sameer on Saturday. Investigators obtained crucial details about their social media activity, financial sources for making IEDs, and broader terror links. Preliminary probe revealed that Siraj came under the radar of terrorist groups after posting a comment on a video featuring Hyderabad BJP MLA Raja Singh. He received online praise from an unknown individual for raising his voice for Islam, and a person believed to be a Visakhapatnam revenue department employee. This interaction reportedly led to the formation of the AHIM group. Vizianagaram police have now launched a probe to identify and question the said government employee. NIA officials reportedly uncovered key information about the Al-Hind Ittehadul Muslimeen (AHIM) group, allegedly run by Siraj and Sameer. The duo is believed to have used social media to radicalise youth, urging them to sacrifice their lives in pursuit of jihad and convert India into an Islamic state. The investigation has widened to trace AHIM affiliates in Telangana, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka.

HYDERABAD: As excitement and anticipation swept across Telangana for the 72nd edition of the Miss World pageant, controversy unexpectedly cast a shadow over the event. The turmoil began when Miss England 2024, Milla Magee, who had exited the competition citing personal reasons on May 16, made explosive allegations in an interview with British tabloid The Sun. The 24-year-old initially claimed her withdrawal from the 72nd Miss World pageant was due to personal circumstances. However, in her recent interview, Magee offered a starkly different explanation, stating, I went there to make a difference, but we had to sit like performing monkeys. She went on to allege that contestants were instructed to wear heavy makeup and evening gowns from morning until nighteven during breakfastand were paraded at events to impress wealthy individuals. She shockingly claimed the experience made her feel like a prostitute being farmed out for entertainment. The comments sparked immediate backlash from both the pageant organisers and the Telangana state government. Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary of Telanganas Youth Advancement, Tourism and Culture Department, responded by saying, We will be conducting a meeting regarding this on May 25. This is just an exaggerated situation. In an exclusive statement, a source from the Miss World organisation dismissed Magees claims, stating, Miss England, Milla Magee, left the contest due to health reasons. All official events were hosted by the government, and no private parading of contestants took place while she was in attendance. Her comments are baseless and seem intended to stir controversy in what has otherwise been a smoothly run pageant. Following Magees departure, a new representative from England, Charlotte Cox, has arrived in Hyderabad to take part in the ongoing pageant. She was warmly received by Telangana government officials and is expected to participate fully in the remainder of the competition. As the pageant progresses, all eyes remain on how the organisers and officials address these allegations while continuing to celebrate global beauty, talent, and cultural exchange.
