Hyderabad: Under Operation ROPE, the traffic police have taken up special drives in the city and booked 1019 people for the illegal use of sirens in April and 1600 since January.
While 2687 were booked for drunk driving with a fine amount of Rs 35,90,500 collected only in April, 13,429 were booked since the beginning of 2023 with a collection of Rs 3,21,39,060 as a fine in total.
As many as 1717 chargesheets were filed by the cops who presented the convicts in front of the Metropolitan Magistrate Courts in Nampally where a fine of Rs 35,90,500 was imposed on them. However, 1317 were sentenced to imprisonment since the year began.
Likewise, 63,508 were booked for wrong-side driving only in April of the total 2,30,974 booked since the beginning of 2023.
Additionally, 1019 were booked for illegal use of sirens in the same month.
Operation ‘ROPE’ (Removal of Obstructive Parking and Encroachments) was launched in September 2022 with the objective to remove all the obstructions caused by illegally parked vehicles of commuters and materials by shop keepers/street vendors either on main carriageways or on the footpaths and to facilitate safe pedestrian movements at all intersections.
As a part of the operation, traffic police personnel in the city educated commuters personally and also through various social media platforms.
Awareness was followed by strict enforcement of laws by the traffic cops against violations, where 45,710 people were booked for breaking the stop line rule, 9337 for free left, 5179 for wheel clamp obstruction and encroachment of carriageways or footpaths in April with the registration of 42 FIRs.
Similarly, 13,431 people were booked for triple riding in addition to 864 RTC buses, 1908 heavy vehicles for overload, 12,125 for wrong number plates, and 1517 for black films in April.
The city traffic police have asserted that data contemplates the need for severe action to prevent the loss of lives, which can be saved just by observing simple traffic rules.
Also, the traffic police will continue their special drives on the wrong side, triple driving and other commuter safety violations until the desired results under the ambit of road safety are achieved.
Operation ROPE has brought a significant change in the personal commuting behaviour of the citizens at all intersections.
The respondents who were convicted of drunken driving and other traffic violations may face difficulties in getting government jobs, passports and visa clearance.
The violators who committed the offence were also counselled at TTI, Goshamahal and Begumpet. The drive against drunken driving and other violations will continue for the safety of the commuters on the road.
Hyderabad Traffic police request motorists not to drive their vehicles under drunken conditions and abide by the traffic laws as a measure for their own safety.
Traffic Police have informed that these special drives and execution of operation ROPE are solely aimed at a smooth flow of traffic, regulation and individual road safety.
Remains of the ill-fated army truck that went up in flames after suspected militants attacked it in Bhata Dhurian area in Mendhar (Poonch) on April 20, 2023. Six soldiers were killed and one survived injured.
Jammu and Kashmir Police have detained six persons after questioning nearly 200 people in Poonch following April 22, attack on an army vehicle in which five soldiers were killed. The operation involving various security agencies in the Bhata Durian belt is still in progress. The agencies investigating the attack have narrowed their focus on two militant handlers based in Pakistan, Rafiq Nai and Habibullah Malik, who are believed to have played a key role in the attack. Both men were designated as militants by the Indian government last year, and their involvement in the recent attack underscores the ongoing threat posed by militants operating from across the border in Pakistan.
Asserting that the attack was carried out with active local support, Dilbagh Singh, the Police Chief said a native, Nasir Ahmad has provided shelter and logistics to attackers. The massive crackdown has triggered outrage after Mukhtar Hussain Shah, a resident of Nar (Mendhar) consumed poison and died by suicide over alleged harassment and torture. Before committing suicide, he had recorded a video.
Singh said the attackers were supplied arms through drones. Three persons formally arrested include Gursi residents- Nissar Ahmad, Farid Ahmad, and Mushtaq. The Poonch Rajouri region is emerging as a challenge. Only six army men were killed in militancy violence in Kashmir since October 2021 as against 21 in Poonch and Rajouri districts during the same period.
School Education Department has directed private schools operating from Government land to admit 25 per cent of their students from weaker sections of society.
KUPWARA
A Kashmiri Imam, who led taraveh prayers during Ramzan 2023, was gifted an Umarh package by the village in north Kashmir.
For Muslims within and outside Kashmir, Ramzan, the Muslim month of fasting, is the era for protracted prayers, charity, and self-introspection. Most of the mosques ensure they have a Hafiz-e-Quran who will lead them in Taraweh prayers and once the month concludes these Imam’s are honoured. Residents of Mareed Mohalla in Kupwara thought out-of-box. Instead of paying him in cash or gifting him worldly valuables, they recognised Maulana Bilal Ahmad Nadvi’s contribution by sending him on Umrah. This was a surprise to the Imam, too. This first-of-its-kind gesture has the potential of becoming the new fashion statement of the faithful, naysayers say.

In yet another shocking event, the Jammu and Kashmir Police uncovered a prostitution ring in the Reshipora, Kupwara. Police said they conducted a raid on a house leading to the arrest of Shabir Ahmad War, his wife and three more people. This is the fourth such scandal in the last few weeks that has come to light in Jammu and Kashmir, with similar operations having been uncovered in Srinagar outskirts including Bagh-e-Mehtab and Nowgam area, and another in Jammu Jewel Chowk. It is immediately not known what pushes individuals to prostitution.
11 Gujaratis were arrested for taking Gandola for a ride with a fake ticket. Earlier a Mumbai tourist group went to jail for the same offence.

Bollywood flick, Pathaan poster showing the lead actors including Shahrukh Khan, John Ibrahim and Deepika Padukone
Bollywood’s heartthrob Shahrukh Khan has set Kashmir abuzz with excitement as he returned after 11 years to shoot for his upcoming film Dunki. Directed by Raj Kumar Hirani and co-starring Tapsee Pannu, the movie scenes were filmed in the stunning locales of Sonamarg and Pulwama. He also did some shopping in Srinagar but at the S airport, he was mobbed by fans.
Khan’s arrival for a few days has boosted the morale of the administration that recorded 300 film shootings in 2022. LT Governor Manoj Sinha said the region is experiencing a resurgence of the Bollywood era of the 1980s when many films were shot in the area due to its breathtaking beauty. For Shahrukh Khan, his return to Kashmir is a nostalgic one, having shot Jab Tak Hai Jaan in the region back in 2012. Bollywood has always been in love with Kashmir. The only difference from the 1980s is that the government was not incentivising the Bollywood shooting as it is being done big time in 2020.
Lt Governor Manoj Sinha laid the foundation stone of Kashmir Medical College and Super-Speciality Hospital being developed by Milli Trust, Delhi, a 100-bed Rs 525-crore project that will have 150 MBBS seats and provide jobs for 2,000 people.

The Chenab Valley’s mini-Kashmir is purple these days as farmers have switched from traditional crops to lucrative lavender cultivation. Over the past decade, lavender cultivation has expanded from 10 kanals of land to about 4000 kanals, with around 2500 farmers now engaged in it. A single lavender plant bears flowers for 15 years and needs little maintenance, and its oil is used in a variety of products, including soaps, cosmetics, perfumes, and medicines.
Bharat Bhushan, one of the first farmers to switch to lavender farming in the region, found that he earned four times more profit from lavender than from traditional maize farming, and he gradually converted his entire 10 kanals of farmland to a lavender farm. After Bhushan’s video conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2016, the Aroma Mission was launched in Jammu and Kashmir, providing free lavender plants to farmers. The program has been a great success, with 500-600 farmers switching to lavender farming and 1000 kanals of land being brought under its cultivation. Modi acknowledged the region’s effort in his Mann Ki Baat.

LG Manoj Sinha inaugurated 576 residential accommodations for PM Package Employees on Wednesday, April 26, 2023.
Days after Padma Bushan awardee, Muzaffar Hussain Baig said the assembly election can take place after the general election across India, LG Manoj Sinha said his administration wants Panchayat elections in Jammu and Kashmir to be held on time. He maintained that three-tier Panchayati Raj System is working very well under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Panchayats will be completing their five-year term in November-December this year and elections to them will have to be conducted in October-November. Polls to Panchayats were held in November-December 2018 after nearly four decades in Jammu and Kashmir during President’s Rule after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) withdrew support to Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP Government in the erstwhile State.

Gold is not just a precious metal but its rates in Hyderabad, Dubai, Riyadh and other big cities of the world indicate the market trends. The rates of the yellow metal depend on various factors including geopolitical stability, wars, pandemic, uncertainties, etc.
As gold is also a commodity, its rates depend on demand and supply. In case of any uncertainty, the rates of yellow metal increase drastically as investors consider it save heaven.
However, during the market boom period, its rates return to normal as investors start exploring options that can give them higher returns when compared to gold.
Gold rates in Hyderabad
Gold rates in Hyderabad and other cities in India depend on various factors including its currency exchange rates as the country is a net importer of the yellow metal.
If the dollar rate goes up against the rupee, India has to spend more to import gold thereby making the yellow metal costly in the local market.

When the values of other investment options such as stock, mutual funds, etc go down, the gold value increases thereby reducing the net losses of the investors.

New Delhi: Foreign portfolio investors turned aggressive buyers in the last few days of April.
FPIs have bought equity worth Rs 9,752 crore till April 29.
V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said FPIs appear to have changed their investment strategy in India in recent days.
While they were sellers in the initial three months of this year, they have turned buyers in April and aggressive buyers in the last few days of April. FPIs have bought equity worth Rs 9,752 crore till April 29.
Vijayakumar said an important macro factor that has tilted the FPI approach is the appreciation in rupee.
Rupee which had touched a low of 82.94 (INR) to the dollar in late February this year has now appreciated to INR 81.75 to the dollar. India’s Current Account Deficit is declining and if this trend continues the rupee may appreciate further.
FPIs are likely to bring more inflows into India in this context. FPIs have been buying in financial services and auto and auto components, he added.
The monthly economic review for March released by the finance ministry said the narrowing of the CAD, accompanied by a rising inflow of foreign portfolio investment (FPI) resulted in an increase in foreign exchange reserves by the end of third quarter of 2022-23.
With forex reserves further increasing by the end of 2022-23, prospects of a still narrower CAD in the fourth quarter of 2022-23 are bright.
Even as external stability strengthened, factors contributing to internal stability also improved.
Fiscal parameters for the Centre and the states in 2022-23 have been robust, as seen in solid revenue generation and improvement in the quality of expenditure, the document said.
In this series we ask authors, Guardian writers and readers to share what they have been reading recently. This month, recommendations include a memoir that wrestles with singleness, poetry that feels alive and excellent audiobooks. Tell us in the comments what you have been reading.
Yara Rodrigues Fowler, novelist
Recently I’ve been reading Abolition Revolution by Shanice Octavia McBean and Aviah Sarah Day, both trade unionists and activists in direct action feminist group Sisters Uncut. This book adds to the excellent emerging literature about police, prison and border abolition in a UK specific context (another I’d recommend is Against Borders: The Case for Abolition by Gracie Mae Bradley and Luke de Noronha, and Liberty’s recent Holding Our Own report). Abolition Revolution is very special because McBean and Day combine deep theoretical and historical knowledge with practical organising experience, specifically in the context of violence against women and austerity. If you feel that there must be a better way to deal with harm and violence then this book is for you.
I’m co-writing a play at the moment, called Conference of the Trees, with Connie Treves and Majid Adin, based on the work of poets involved with the Change the Word Collective, Sarah Orola, Lester Gomez Medina, Diyo Mulopo Bopengo, Ian Andrew, Yordanos Gebrehiwot. I’ve spent over a year reading and rereading their poetry, much of which appears in An Orchestra of Unexpected Sounds, and it is still as crisp and alive as the first time I encountered it.
Fiction-wise, I’ve been enjoying audiobooks recently: I loved Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver and am now listening to Guy Gunaratne’s In Our Madand Furious City (having previously read it in physical form), which is also very well produced.

Women have been taught that it is a weakness to say we want romantic love. That it’s better to post something positive on Instagram about being a “strong, independent woman” than publicly admit to wanting a relationship while struggling to find the right one. That it is a failure not to find love as soon as you recognise you’re ready for it.

In her memoir, Arrangements in Blue, Amy Key totally gets this – she’s been single for over two decades. “It scares me to lay out all the ways in which absence of romantic love touches my life,” she admits in the introduction. “I must be brave enough to say aloud, I did want it. I do want it.” And it is her bravery, this vulnerability, that makes it such a generous read for so many of us who haven’t felt comfortable enough to say, “I like my life but I want more”.
Key uses the songs of her favourite album, Joni Mitchell’s Blue, to help guide us through her life without a romantic relationship – and, although I was initially quite sceptical, it works naturally as she writes about being child-free, living alone, travelling solo, friendships and attempts at love. Key’s background as a poet is evident: her writing is gorgeously lyrical, but she is also unafraid to share the colder, harsher parts of being single.
Arrangements in Blue is a short read, but each page feels so full and worth savouring. I already have friends who have sent me screenshots of the parts that made them feel so seen. And I have sent them mine.

Paul, Guardian reader
For me, this year has been about discovering writers I’ve never read before. This month’s biggest discovery has been Percival Everett. His most recent novel, Dr No, is a comic masterpiece, but it is his novel The Trees that has been a real revelation to me. The descendants of people who committed lynchings in the past are being murdered, their corpses found with those of their long-dead victims. Everett shows how monstrous these crimes were, and how guilt is passed through the generations, but what makes the book so remarkable is its humour. Much of the dialogue is in the form of repartee between the characters, and it is often hilarious, despite the dark subject.
Patrick Gale is another writer new to me. His most recent book, Mother’s Boy, tells the early life of Cornish poet Charles Causley. It is beautifully written, and sent me back to the work of this very private man.
I’m late to the party, but Ocean Vuong’s On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is every bit as good as everyone says, and Caleb Azumah Nelson’s Open Water is beautiful inside and out, a deeply poetic and moving account of a tentative affair between two young people.
Finally, I’ve just finished Play It As It Lays, by the remarkable Joan Didion. An account of the breakdown of a female actor in 1960s Hollywood, it’s beautifully observed and a really powerful book. I’ve read a lot of different writers this month, but all have in common that sense of looking into someone else’s world that the best fiction can convey.

( With inputs from : www.theguardian.com )
Hyderabad: Society for Earth Justice, a charitable organisation will be holding a round table meeting on the rejuvenation of the Musi River at the Soyab Hall, Sundarayya Vignana Kendram (SVK) in Bagh Lingampally.
Musi, a tributary of Krishna River that flows in Hyderabad and surrounding areas is polluted by sewage and industrial waste containing toxic and hazardous materials such as heavy metals, phenols, and pesticides.
This pollution is affecting crops, livestock, and dairy products, as well as causing skin problems, eye problems, and vomiting in certain seasons.
Research highlights the severity of the issue, and its impact on the environment and public health, hence making it crucial to take action to prevent further pollution and protect the river and its surrounding areas.
Members of the Society for Earth Justice organisation are planning to march to spread awareness on the issue, raising slogans such as, “Clean waters from musi for agriculture, clean drinking water, clean air, clean land, clean lush green lung space’ is a right to live. Let us achieve it.”
The organisation has invited citizens to participate in the meeting that will begin at 1 pm to address the critical issue of uptaking the cleanup drive for Musi River water.
