Welfare schemes introduced by govt reached every household: Minister Bharath
The minister was speaking during his visit to Ashok Nagar in Kurnool city as part of the 'First Step Towards Good Governance' campaign on Friday.
As part of the programme, he conducted a door-to-door campaign in the 45th municipal ward, interacting directly with residents.
He spoke to women, senior citizens, and students to assess the implementation of welfare initiatives and sought specific details on the schemes received by each household. The initiative aims to provide citizens with transparent information on the government's developmental and welfare measures while addressing any existing concerns.
'The direction from Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is clear — from the grassroots to the top leadership, we must connect with the people and explain the progress made in one year of governance,' said Bharath. 'We are not only highlighting achievements but are also committed to resolving public grievances on the spot. The government is determined to deliver on every promise made, and more welfare schemes will be launched soon.'
Addressing local development, the minister said efforts are underway to widen key roads in Kurnool city, particularly in front of the medical college, where narrow stretches have led to recurring accidents. He also announced that affected shop owners would be allotted commercial space at a subsidized rent of Rs.300 per month for 25 years, with provisions for renewal. Responding to citizen feedback during the event, Bharath promised to resolve drainage issues in Ashok Nagar and construct a protective wall around a hazardous transformer in Chaitanya Nagar.

Rajasthan youth murder: Tazia procession cancelled amid rising tensions in Bhilwara
Jaipur: Protests continue in Jahazpur town of Bhilwara district in Rajasthan on Saturday following the murder of a youth by a mob. The victim's family has demanded Rs 1 crore in compensation and bulldozer action on the houses of the accused, while the local administration, in view of rising tensions, has imposed restrictions and cancelled the Tazia procession scheduled for July 5 and 6 during Muharram. The family has been staging a protest outside the government hospital in Jahazpur since Saturday. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Jahazpur has officially withdrawn permission for the Tazia processions, citing law and order concerns. A complete ban has now been enforced on carrying out processions on both days. According to the police, the incident occurred on Friday around 7:30 PM in the Takiya Masjid area of Jahazpur. Four youths - Sitaram, Sikandar, Dilkhush, and Deepak - residents of the Chhavni area in Tonk, had come to Jahazpur in a car to attend a function at the home of Sikandar's sister. While leaving the main market, their car accidentally hit a handcart. An argument broke out with the cart owner, and soon, around 20 people gathered and began assaulting the group. Sitaram (25) was pulled out of the vehicle, beaten severely, and thrown onto the road. He succumbed to his injuries on the spot. In protest, Jahazpur town observed a complete shutdown on Saturday. A murder case has been registered against 16 named individuals and 20 unidentified others. Police forces from 10 nearby stations have been deployed to prevent any further unrest. Hari Nand Kahar, state chief of the Kewat Kahar Samaj, said that Sitaram was brutally murdered. 'We strongly condemn this heinous act. The accused must receive strict punishment. The victim's family is poor - his father has passed away, and his elderly mother was entirely dependent on him,' he said. Nand Kahar pointed out that the family must receive Rs 1 crore compensation and a government job for one member, adding that the case should be investigated by an SIT and tried in a fast-track court. Bhilwara MP Damodar Agarwal said that the incident is serious, and there is anger in society. 'Police are arresting the criminals. A situation of agitation has arisen. People must maintain peace,' he said.

AP: YSRCP accuses Govt of harassing mango farmers before Ex-CM's visit
Tirupati, July 5 (UNI) Former TTD Chairman and former MLA Bhumana Karunakar Reddy has strongly condemned the coalition government for its oppressive tactics against mango farmers in Chittoor district and its attempts to obstruct former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's visit to Bangarupalyam on July 9. Speaking to the media here on Saturday ,Bhumana criticized the government for intimidating farmers to prevent them from attending YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's visit, spreading false propaganda about its cancellation, and failing to support farmers facing severe losses. The former MLA highlighted the government's neglect to ensure fair prices for mango farmers, forcing many to destroy their orchards due to financial distress. He cited the case of T Kumar from Tumindagu village, who was fined Rs. 12,750 by forest officials for cutting down 16 mango trees, an act driven by the lack of viable returns and government support. 'This is the coalition's tyranny, punishing farmers for their desperation while failing to address their plight,' Bhumana said. He contrasted this with Karnataka, where NDA leaders secured Rs 16 per kg for farmers, while Andhra Pradesh's government remained indifferent, holding superficial meetings with pulp factories to falsely claim support. Despite obstacles, Bhumana asserted that YS Jagan's visit to meet distressed farmers is confirmed. 'No amount of intimidation or denial of permissions will stop YS Jagan from standing with farmers,' he declared, noting that YSRCP has twice requested the district collector for security and permissions. He also dismissed Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan's remarks as irrelevant, urging the government to focus on farmers' welfare instead of suppressing their voices. 'Farmers are ready to share their grievances with former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy and the government's attempts to silence them only expose their failures,' he said, vowing that YSRCP will continue to fight for farmers' rights.

Nirav Modi's brother arrested in US on Indian extradition request
Nehal Modi, the brother of fugitive economic offender Nirav Modi, has been arrested in the United States on an extradition request by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate, The Hindu reported on Saturday. Nehal Modi is a co-accused in the Rs 13,000-crore Punjab National Bank fraud case. In its complaint, the prosecution in the US said that the extradition proceedings were being pursued for alleged money laundering under India's Prevention of Money Laundering Act and alleged criminal conspiracy under sections of the erstwhile Indian Penal Code, the newspaper reported. Nehal Modi is alleged to have assisted in concealing and transferring illicit funds through a network of shell companies and overseas transactions, The Hindu reported. The extradition matter is expected to be heard in a US court on July 17, PTI reported. Nehal Modi is a Belgian citizen. The PNB fraud came to light in February 2018 when the bank informed the stock exchange BSE that it had detected 'fraudulent and unauthorised transactions' worth Rs 11,380 crore at a branch in South Mumbai. A few officials of the public sector bank had allegedly issued fraudulent Letters of Undertaking to Nirav Modi's companies, resulting in the loss of Rs 6,097 crore to PNB. Nirav Modi is in prison in the United Kingdom, where he is facing extradition proceedings. Nehal Modi and Nirav Modi's uncle Mehul Choksi is also one of the prime accused in the matter. Choksi had fled India for Antigua and Barbuda in January 2018, a few weeks before the fraud came to light. He then secured the citizenship of the Caribbean country.
