    Hyderabad: After being denied entry into the newly inaugurated Secretariat here, Congress leader and MP Revanth Reddy accused chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and IT Minister K T Rama Rao (KTR) of looting the people of Telangana.

    Earlier in the day, the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief was stopped by the Hyderabad police on Monday from entering the building. He was asked to take permission to receive the officials, angering Reddy.

    “In the last 20 years, MPs and MLAs were never disallowed to enter the Secretariat. As a Member of Parliament, I have full rights to enter the building. It seems the CM’s lecture about Ambedkar’s theories was just for a day,” Reddy said.

    The TPCC chief further said that the leasing of ORR by the government was a big scam. He said the project that would generate Rs 30,000 crore in the next 10 years was leased out for just Rs 7,380 crore.

    Reddy made it clear that when the Congress party comes to power, they will bring all corrupt leaders to court.

    “We will ensure that every corrupt leader is put behind bars. if required, we will go to the courts to get justice. No one will be spared,” Reddy said.

    Ankara: At least 48 people were arrested in Turkey on suspicion of looting in eight provinces on Monday, Anadolu Agency reported.

    One of them was arrested in the southern province of Hatay in possession of large sums of money, mobile phones, computers and weapons, in addition to jewelry and bank cards.

    According to a decree published in the official gazette on Saturday prosecutors can detain individuals accused of looting for seven days instead of four, within the framework of the state of emergency declared by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the face of the disaster.

    “We have declared a state of emergency,” Erdogan said during his visit to quake-hit Diyarbakir. 

    He added, “This means that as of now, those involved in acts of looting or kidnapping must know that the firm hand of the state will reach them.”

    At dawn on Monday, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and Syria, followed by another with a magnitude of 7.6 and hundreds of violent aftershocks.

    The earthquake in Turkey and Syria caused severe damage to thousands of buildings, including schools, health care facilities and other public infrastructure such as roads, airports, ports, oil stations, power lines, water supply and sanitation, and many aftershocks were recorded.
