Telangana HC issues notices in Congress MLAs' plea against land ‘encroachment' in Rangareddy district
Telangana High Court Monday ordered notices to be served on several state government departments in a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by four MLAs of the ruling Congress party, alleging a large-scale illegal transfer and encroachment of government land in Khajaguda of the Rangareddy district. The bench asked the petitioners to serve notices on the Revenue Department, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA), Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Protection Agency (HYDRAA), Pollution Control Board, Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA), and others and posted the matter after two weeks. A two-judge bench of Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Renuka Yara is dealing with the PIL challenging a series of actions that they claim illegally transferred over 27 acres of government land in Survey No. 27 of Khajaguda village in Rangareddy's Serilingampally mandal to private entities. This land was originally classified as 'poramboke' (non-assigned government land) in official records dating back to the 1950s. MLAs J Anirudh Reddy, Y Srinivas Reddy, Dr Murali Naik Bhukya, and Dr K K Rajesh Reddy claimed there was a failure on the part of the municipal authorities to protect a part of a lake in Khajaguda. They claim that the said government land is worth more than Rs 2,000 crore. They alleged that several revenue and municipal officials colluded with private entities to transfer the land illegally, and, in turn, transferred it to Beverly Hills Owners Welfare Society in 2023 and unlawfully permitted construction of eight luxury towers of about 47 floors on prime state land that was originally classified as 'poramboke' since the 1950s. According to the petition, the land includes the full tank level area of Khajaguda Lake, and a ready-mix plant to prepare building construction materials is also established here. The counsel for the petitioners, Chikkudu Prabhakar, argued that the officials' actions were illegal, arbitrary, and in violation of various municipal and environmental laws. The counsel prayed for the bench to appoint a sitting judge of the High Court to conduct an inquiry into the matter of transferring the government land. He also sought to direct the state government to stop the construction, immediately take over the 27.18 guntas of land, reverse these alleged illegal actions, and restore the land to state ownership. The counsel also alleged that the former district collector of Rangareddy misused the Dharani Portal to transfer government lands, including Bhoodan lands and other valuable properties in GHMC and HMDA areas, to private individuals. The counsel also cited various news articles in a prominent Telugu daily to suggest that the land indeed belonged to the state government.

Rs 410000000000: Big tension for Modi govt as India set to lose huge amount of money due to…
Rs 410000000000: Big tension for Modi govt as India set to lose huge amount of money due to... India could lose up to USD 5 billion in exports to Vietnam if it doesn't secure a trade deal with the U.S. that offers lower tariffs, says a report in Moneycontrol. In 2023, India sent goods worth around USD 76 billion to the U.S. But only about USD 5.4 billion of those goods are also exported by Vietnam, meaning the risk of direct competition is actually quite small, even in a worst-case scenario. India and Vietnam both sell 161 similar products (each worth over USD 5 million) to the U.S., where India currently exports more than Vietnam. While total U.S. trade in these items is valued at USD 22 billion, Vietnam could only realistically challenge India in about USD 5.4 billion worth of that trade. And when you look even closer at goods where both countries sell in large quantities and prices are very similar India's potential losses are likely much smaller, around USD 353 million.

No CM faced wrath of people like Revanth Reddy, says KTR
Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Monday said that no other chief minister than Revanth Reddy has faced so many abuses and insults across the villages in the history of Telugu states. Ridiculing the criticism of KCR by Revanth Reddy, Rama Rao said if he was sitting in the CM's chair it is because of the BRS chief. He made these comments while addressing a group of Congress leaders and workers from Medak who joined the BRS party at Telangana Bhavan. Stating that the Siddipet was once known for pigs and donkeys, the BRS leader said that donkeys have now left from Medak except for one or two and these two would also leave soon. Lashing out at the chief minister, Rao said, 'We have seen NT Rama Rao, YS Rajasekhara Reddy, K Rosaiah and KCR. No one faced the wrath of the people like Revanth Reddy. It is all drainage when he opens his mouth,' said KTR. He said that the chief minister promised loan waiver of Rs 2 lakh. The CM claimed waiving loans worth Rs 50,000 crore but washed off his hands by waiving just Rs 12,000 crore to Rs 13,000 crore. He assured RythuBandhu of Rs 15,000 for three crops but he gave just Rs 12,000 and wanted the farmers to celebrate and boasted that he will win 100 seats, said KTR. Taking objections to the language used by the chief minister against the leader of opposition, KTR said, 'Revanth should not forget that today he was sitting in the CM's post only because of KCR. We were in power for ten years but never talked irresponsibly. Is this IndirammaRajyam? Booking cases against people who post against the government.' Senior leader T Harish Rao said that earlier people used to say Siddipet means pigs and Medak means lots of donkeys. Now these places have been developed amazingly. There is Ramayampet Degree College, SC, ST Residential schools, KCR modernized the Ghanapuram canal. He ensured that even the last ayacut gets water. While KCR gave RythuBandhu in between cropping season, Revanth Reddy is giving in between the voting season. Lashing out at Irrigation Minister, Harish Rao said that Uttam Kumar Reddy always lies. 'Is it not a lie that you are cheating by not turning on the motors in Kalwakurthy while the gates are being lifted in Pothireddypadu and taking Krishna water? Isn't it true that lakhs of cusecs are going in Godavari? It is like the Revanth administration is sending water to Andhra and funds to Delhi,' said Harish Rao.
