[ad_1]
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.

The green cover in the state has increased by 7.7 percent. A perceptible change in the landscape of the state both in urban and rural areas is also visible”.
As per orders from the Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, plantations were taken up on irrigation lands from last year. In order to assess the feasibility for taking up plantations, joint field visits were conducted by district level teams, said a press release.

The eight district teams suggested a draft model action plan for taking up block and linear plantations which was presented during the workshop on Wednesday.
Chief Secretary directed the district officials to prepare a micro plan for block plantation in their respective districts.
“While there is huge potential for canal bund plantation, commercially valuable fruit bearing plans should be taken up in block plantations which will not only increase greenery but will also provide revenue to the panchayats,” said Santhi Kumari.
She said that plant species like bamboo, which will generate income for number of years, should be encouraged.
Additional collectors, district forest officers and irrigation officials of Jogulamba Gadwal, Nizamabad, Mahbubunagar, Medak, Nagarkurnool, Rajanna Sircilla, Siddipet and Suryapet districts attended the workshop.

Hyderabad: Mir Alam Tank musical fountain worth Rs 2.5 cr lies ignored

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Musical fountain at the Mir Alam Tank, developed at the cost of Rs 2.55 crores has nearly submerged in the stinky water while it remains completely ignored by the development authorities of the state.
The 40-metre-long and 9-metre-wide fountain structure was set up on the very facet of the Mir Alam Lake, between Tadban to Aramghar roads.

Equipped with music and multimedia effects, the fountain was launched by the Telangana municipal administration and urban development minister KT Rama Rao, in the presence of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and home minister Mahmood Ali on April 19, 2022.

However, the fountain worked for no more than two days and had since remained nonfunctional with overgrown bushes drowning the project into a costly dismay.
Developed by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) and Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), the fountain was inaugurated to fascinate its viewers but the set-up ended up submerged into the water, hidden by water hyacinth with only steel poles set to fence the area left behind as its remains.
Speaking to The Siasat Daily, Ramanthapur corporator Yousuf Danish points out the fact that the fountain never was lit up more than two days post-inauguration.
Pointing to the encroachments around the tank, Yousuf says that no measures have been taken by the state government to safeguard its investment.
Back then, authorities laid a separate drainage line to divert the sewerage water from the colonies of Hassannagar and surroundings into Musi. However, it seems like the pollution control measure haven’t worked out.

Though the Telangana government have taken up the task of beautification around the lake, maintenance with regular checks is essential.
