[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana health and family welfare minister T Harish Rao on Monday presided over a meeting on road safety measures to be taken up in Siddipet district. Siddipet commissioner of police Sweta presented a comparative analysis on road accidents in Siddipet district as part of the meeting.
Harish Rai directed health department officials to study the Tamil Nadu model which he said significantly helped in reducing the fatalities on roads.
The Telangana health minister stated that signages and speed breakers should be put in place on accident prone areas on the Siddipet – Hyderabad road. Harish Rao asked the officials to notify hospitals in government and private sectors as designated trauma care centres and also directed officials to upload them in the state’s portal.
Officials from the Roads and Buildings department were also asked to develop service roads and take up illumination of islands on the Gajwel Outer ring Road. Officers briefed Harish Rao about the various black spots identified in the district and the measures taken to prevent accidents in these areas, said a press release from his office.
A state level committee on the road safety committee has been constituted and similar committees are also functioning at the district level which meet regularly to chalk out an action plan to prevent accidents, the release added.

Cricketers in Hyderabad welcome SC appointment of Justice Rao to clean up the mess

[ad_1]
For too long Hyderabad cricket has traveled along a dark tunnel. There seemed to be no end to the journey and even the BCCI was unable to find a solution. But now with the Supreme Court having appointed Justice L. Nageswara Rao to clean up the mess and conduct elections, there is light visible at the end of the tunnel. There is hope that the mismanagement and malpractices under the present dispensation headed by Md. Azharuddin will end.
Justice Nageswara Rao will oversee the conduct of the elections and this step has been welcomed by many players and officials as well as the fans. Earlier supervisory body which had Justice Kakru as its head was tied up in various problems. This time a single member committee has been appointed. Everybody hopes that there will be a positive outcome. Justice Rao who hails from Hyderabad was a cricketer himself and knows the inside stories of the HCA. The cricket players and fans of Hyderabad certainly deserve a better deal than the one they have been given for the last three years.
Former international cricketer and Hyderabad’s ex-captain Arshad Ayub is optimistic that the problems will be solved. He told siasat.com “I think that for Hyderabad cricket this announcement is like a second independence day. We are at last free of the shackles that had imprisoned us. The supervisory committee which was earlier appointed by the Supreme Court tried to get things done but it faced several difficulties.”
“The reason why I am more hopeful is because Justice Nageswara Rao was himself a cricket player. He knows the situation inside the HCA and understands what has to be done. Plus, his job is clear cut. He has to conduct and oversee the election process. He is an experienced person and I think that we are going to see some real progress this time,” said Arshad.
Former HCA secretary S. Venkateswaran was elated. “It is a huge positive step. A lot of spadework has already been done. I can definitely state that from here onwards things will go well and I am sure that many clubs will agree with me about this. But before conducting the elections, a proper voters list has to be drawn up. This could be a messy task because so many new clubs have cropped up. However, there is a precedent which was set during the conduct of the previous HCA elections by V S Sampath Kumar, former Chief Election Commissioner. His work can serve as the base this time,” Venkat explained.
“The other task before Justice Rao is to go into the financial irregularities. Shivlal Yadav has said that for three years the accounts have not been submitted. Earlier, the BCCI never used to release grants to the state bodies unless the audited accounts were submitted. I don’t know why they have decided to overlook this important rule in the case of the HCA. Imagine how many crore must have gone into the pockets of corrupt elements,” said Venkat.
It may be recalled that Sports Minister V. Srinivas Goud had said recently that the state government would not hesitate to take back the land given to HCA for the Uppal stadium and would run the stadium on its own if required. If the Supreme Court’s latest move bears fruit, that situation may not arise. The mood is upbeat. But a clear outcome is could be assessed what transpires in the next three or four months.

Eatala vs Harish Rao on office space in Telangana Assembly

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) MLA Eatala Rajender raised his request for office space in the Assembly premises in the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday.
However, he was interrupted by three Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) ministers who took serious exception when Eatala said that the BJP MLAs are even facing hardships to answer nature’s calls.
“This morning (Wednesday), I carried a tiffin box but had no space to sit and eat. As I had no place to go, I went to (CLP leader) Bhatti Vikramarka’s chamber to eat,” remarked Eatala.
Telangana finance minister Harish Rao then intervened and said that the house has set a rule of allotting office to the parties that have five or more MLAs.
Rajender in his reply to Harish Rao said, “everything doesn’t have to work as per the rules, and sometimes, the convention is followed.”
“You are a senior member of the house. You know the rules. Why are you wasting the house’s time? If you have any issues, you can talk to the Speaker,” he said.
Intervening, Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy then asked Eatala Rajendra to see him in the chamber if he had any grievances.

Hindenburg report exposes dangers Indians, economy are subjected to: BRS’ Keshava Rao

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MP K Keshava Rao on Wednesday gave a Suspension of Business Notice in Rajya Sabha demanding a discussion on the Hindenburg Report on Adani Enterprises and other companies of Adani Group.
Rao gave the Suspension of Business Notice in the lower house of parliament, during its ongoing Budget Session, under rule 267.
In the notice to the Rajya Sabha Chairman, he said that the report had revealed the dangers to which the country and its economy have been exposed to.
“I desire to move the following Motion…That this House suspend the Rules, pertaining to Business listed in today’s (8.2.2023) Agenda and take up discussion of Hindenburg Report on M/s Adani Enterprises and other companies of his group. Sir, The report exposes the dangers to which the Indian people and economy are subjected to and merit immediate discussion, adjourning today’s list of Business in the House, as sought,” it read.
The concerned report is from US-based Hindenburg Research that surfaced on January 24 and claimed that the Adani Group had weak business fundamentals, and was involved in stock manipulation and accounting fraud, among others.
According to a statement by the Adani Group, the Adani portfolio and the Adani verticals are focused on bringing India into the global economy and nation-building. In the summary of the long response by Adani Group, it said the report was “nothing but a lie”.
The report, however, triggered a sell-off of shares of all Adani Group companies.
Earlier claiming that Hindenburg Research has “exploited innocent investors”, advocate Manohar Lal Sharma filed a public interest litigation in the Supreme Court seeking a probe against the US-based firm, whose report has led to shares of Adani group plunging on the bourses.
The PIL by a lawyer sought an inquiry to prosecute short sellers Nathan Anderson, a resident of US and founder of the Hindenburg Research [which published a report recently leading to a huge dent in the Adani Group firms’ assets], and his Indian entities. The plea also sought to register an FIR against Anderson and his associates for exploiting and duping lakhs of innocent investors.

Notably, the Opposition has been continuously demanding a discussion on the Adani-Hindenburg row and is seeking the response of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue.
Opposition parties are also demanding a joint parliamentary committee probe into the allegations of stock manipulation against the Adani Group.
The budget session of Parliament started on January 31 this year with the joint Address by President Droupadi Murmu. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Budget 2023-24 on February 1.
Since then there has been no business in Parliament because of the continued logjam over the Adani issue. The Opposition has demanded that the government should come up and respond in Parliament about the Adani stock issue following which disruption has been witnessed in both Houses.
Congress is continuously cornering the government over the issue in Parliament forcing the adjournments of both Houses during the Budget Session.

Union Budget was discriminatory towards Telangana: Keshava Rao

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: In response to the Budget allocation to Telangana by the centre, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MP K Keshava Rao said that they would raise the issue in parliament.
The BRS MP further went on to say that the budget was ‘anti-farmer’ and ‘anti-poor’ with a focus only on poll-bound states like Karnataka.
The leader along with Nama Nageshwara Rao claimed that none of their demands was considered in the budget even after the state government sought funds and project sanctions.
“The budget was discriminatory towards Telangana. There was no mention of farmers, including minimum support price or our Kaleshwaram project. Also, the BJP-ruled, poll-bound state bagged 5,300 crore,” Nama Nageshwara Rao said.

Tollywood Tiff: NBK denies being disrespectful of Nageswara Rao

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Tollywood star N. Balakrishna, better known as NBK, on Thursday denied making derogatory comments about late legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao.
Stating that he has a lot of respect for Nageswara Rao, the actor-politician said he did not use any word intentionally while referring to the late actor.
At the success meet of his latest release “Veera Simha Reddy”, Balakrishna’s comment about Nageswara Rao had triggered a row.
Talking about his father, late former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and creator of the Telugu Desam Party, N.T. Rama Rao, Balakrishna had said rather dismissively: “My father had some contemporaries, Ranga Rao (S. V. Ranga Rao), Akkineni, Thokkineni, and some others.”
Nageswara Rao’s grandsons — Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and his brother Akhil Akkineni — posted a statement on Twitter in reaction to Balakrishna’s remark.
They said: “Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao garu, Akkineni Nageswara Rao garu and S.V Ranga Rao garu’s creative contributions have been the pride and pillars of Telugu Cinema. Disrespecting them is degrading ourselves.”
With Nageswara Rao’s family reacting to the actor’s comment, NBK has come out with the clarification. He claimed that Nageswara Rao used to love him more than his own children and he too used to address him as uncle.
