95% of public satisfied with one year NDA governance: Union MoS Pemmasani

GUNTUR: Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Communications, Dr Pemmasani Chandrasekhar, said that 95% of the public in Guntur West expressed satisfaction with the coalition government's performance in its first year.
The Union Minister, joined by MLA Galla Madhavi and Mayor Kovelamudi Ravindra Babu, visited homes as part of the outreach programme, 'Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu', to gather feedback and noted improvements in roads, drainage, and sanitation. 'People are recognising that promises are being implemented across all wards,' he said.
The Union Minister assured that the issue of stray dogs is being tackled legally and humanely. Long-pending housing title deed issues are also being resolved in coordination with local authorities.
Later, Dr Pemmasani disbursed Rs 42.14 lakh in cheques from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund (CMRF) to underprivileged individuals needing urgent medical aid. He described the CMRF as a vital support mechanism aligned with Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's inclusive governance vision for the State.
Several beneficiaries, moved by the gesture, thanked the government for its timely help.

Lok Sabha proceedings marred by Oppn protests over SIR, Speaker Birla reasserts focus on Operation Sindoor

New Delhi: Following hours of disruption, heated sloganeering, and repeated adjournments, the Lok Sabha reconvened at 1 p.m. on Monday under fraught circumstances, as Opposition members renewed their protest by chanting "Hamari Bhi Suna Jaye" -- a demand to be heard on the contentious issue of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, which the Union government has declined to table for discussion. Speaker Om Birla, visibly disappointed by the disruption, reiterated his earlier appeal for cooperation. "I have requested you before, and I am urging you again," he said, addressing the Opposition. "All party leaders agreed that the House would hold a special discussion on Operation Sindoor. The government and I have given our consent. I am again requesting you to allow the debate to proceed." However, the Opposition, led by Congress and INDIA bloc members, insisted that the House first address the SIR exercise in Bihar, which they allege could disenfranchise marginalised communities ahead of the state's assembly elections. Speaker Birla responded sharply, accusing the Opposition of reneging on its commitment. "You made a commitment in the all-party meeting to begin with Operation Sindoor. Now you take a U-turn," he then said. "Akhilesh ji, if you send leaders to me, ensure they are capable of making decisions. If someone else is pulling the strings from behind, they should not attend the all-party meet." The Speaker's remarks appeared to be directed at Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav, who was present during the protests. Speaker Birla emphasised that the House would proceed only with the scheduled debate on Operation Sindoor and not entertain other subjects raised from the well of the House. Despite repeated appeals, the Opposition remained defiant, prompting Speaker Birla to adjourn proceedings until 2 p.m. Operation Sindoor, India's military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 innocent civilian lives, was scheduled for a 16-hour debate, starting on Monday. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was expected to open the discussion, with interventions from Home Minister Amit Shah and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. The standoff reflects deepening fault lines in Parliament, where the Monsoon session has already seen multiple adjournments over the SIR issue and demands for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's response to US President Donald Trump's claims of mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. As the House prepares to resume, the Union government faces mounting pressure to address both national security and electoral integrity, while the Opposition seeks to leverage procedural disruptions to spotlight its concerns. Whether the debate on Operation Sindoor proceeds uninterrupted remains uncertain.

Bad weather forces cancellation of CM Nitish Kumar's visit to Katihar

Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's scheduled visit to Sameli block in Katihar District was cancelled on Monday due to adverse weather conditions in Patna. The Chief Minister was expected to unveil a statue of renowned litterateur Anuppal Mandal and address a public gathering, apart from laying the foundation stone of projects of more than Rs 500 crore, but persistent heavy rain in Patna grounded his flight. This is the second postponement of the same programme, the first being on July 26 this year, also due to weather disruptions. Speaking on the cancellation, Katihar District Magistrate Manesh Kumar Meena said, 'Due to heavy rains in Patna and bad weather conditions, the Chief Minister's helicopter could not take off. The event at Sameli had to be cancelled despite all arrangements being in place.' Barari MLA Vijay Singh echoed the disappointment due to cancellation of the chief minister's program. 'The Chief Minister was coming to unveil the statue of great litterateur Anuppal Mandal and to address the public. But once again, the weather has let us down. The ATC has not allowed his chopper to take off from Patna.' The district and block administration had made comprehensive preparations for the CM's arrival, including arrangements for security, stage set-up, crowd control, and public address logistics. Thousands of people, especially from nearby rural areas, had started gathering at the venue, only to return disappointed once the cancellation was announced. According to administrative sources, efforts are already underway to reschedule the visit at the earliest suitable date. The Chief Minister is keen to connect with the people of Katihar, especially to highlight development initiatives and promote education and literature in the region. The legacy of Anuppal Mandal, whose statue was to be unveiled, holds cultural significance in the region. Locals hope the postponed programme will be executed soon, bringing both recognition to the late litterateur and a much-anticipated public address by the Chief Minister.

Rs 3 a Year? ‘Clerical error' turns farmer ‘poorest man in India'; certificate goes viral

SATNA: A certificate showing a Madhya Pradesh farmer's annual income as Rs 3 went viral on social media with the internet dubbing him as the "poorest man in India", prompting the authorities to clarify that it was a "clerical error". A photograph of the income certificate issued to Ramswaroop (45), a resident of Nayagaon village under Kothi tehsil of Satna district, complete with the tehsildar's signature, surfaced on social media this week. The document, issued with the signature of Tehsildar Saurabh Dwivedi on July 22, was circulated widely on social media, with netizens calling Ramswaroop the "poorest man in the country". Officials soon scrambled into action, and by July 25, a new certificate was issued, boosting the farmer's reported annual income to Rs 30,000, ie, Rs 2,500 per month. The original certificate implied Ramswaroop earned 25 paise a month. "It was a clerical error, which has been corrected. A new income certificate has been issued," Dwivedi clarified. The Madhya Pradesh Congress went all out to ridicule the blunder, sharing the original certificate on X. "In MP chief minister Mohan Yadav's rule, we discovered India's poorest man! Annual income: just Rs 3!" the party said in its post. "Isn't it shocking? A mission to make people poor? Because now the chair itself eats the commission," it alleged. PTI
