Rs 3.5 cr bridge, road repair works launched

Hans India29-05-2025
Gadwal: Major infrastructure development works have commenced in the Alampur constituency with the launch of bridge culvert repairs and BT (blacktop) road restoration, aimed at improving transport and safety for the public. The initiative, supported by MLA Sri Vijayudu and the MLC, is being implemented with a substantial funding of Rs 3.5 crore.
The repair works cover the dilapidated bridge culverts near the Dargah area on the Aiza–Kurnool road, falling under Aiza Municipality limits, along with 6 kilometers of BT road which had deteriorated due to prolonged usage and lack of maintenance.
During his inspection of the site, MLA Vijayudu expressed concerns over the current condition of the culverts and roads, stating that the damaged infrastructure could cause major disruptions to the movement of heavy vehicles and daily commuters. He emphasized the urgency of completing the works swiftly and directed the R&B Department officials – AE Altaf, DE Subhash, and contractor Nagayya Naidu – to carry out the repairs with quality and speed.
'The bridge culverts are in a critical state. If not addressed immediately, they could pose serious risks to public safety and transport. The sanctioned funds must be utilized efficiently to ensure that the road is made fully functional at the earliest,' said MLA Vijayudu during his visit.
The inspection program was also attended by several BRS Party leaders and local representatives.
The launch of these infrastructure improvements marks a significant step toward better road connectivity and public convenience in the Alampur region. Local residents and travelers are expected to benefit greatly from the upgraded infrastructure, which is poised to enhance transport efficiency and safety in the area.

Rahul, Pradhan spar over ‘vacant' reserved varsity teaching posts

After LS Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi flagged vacancies in teaching positions for SC, ST, and OBC categories in central universities Friday and referred to it as a 'planned conspiracy', Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan hit out saying the Centre has increased the number of teaching positions in the past 10 years. Citing data presented in response to a question in the RS Wednesday, Gandhi said on X: 'Data presented by the Modi government in Parliament is evidence of the deprivation of Bahujans and institutionalized Manuvad.' Stating that these posts 'are deliberately kept vacant', Gandhi said: 'This is not mere negligence but a well-planned conspiracy—to keep Bahujans out of education, research, and policymaking.' 'In the name of NFS (Not Found Suitable), thousands of qualified SC, ST, OBC candidates are being declared unfit under a Manuvadi mindset, and the government is unwilling to take any accountability. This is completely unacceptable,' he said. Around 80% of posts sanctioned in central universities for professors under the OBC category, 83% in the ST category, and 64% in the SC category remain vacant, the RS was informed. In response, Pradhan said Friday: 'Rahul Gandhi has raised the matter of 'not found suitable.' In 2019, the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teachers' Cadre) Act was passed. For the first time in independent India, reservation for SC/ST/OBC categories in the posts of assistant prof, associate prof, and prof was ensured through an Act. The Act also says that if a suitable person is not found, the post won't cease to exist or lapse.' 'I would like to ask Rahul Gandhi… in their (Congress) tenure how many posts were converted into 'general' category where candidates were 'not found suitable.' And in Modi's tenure… not even one has been converted,' he said.

Tender row at key F&CC meeting lay bare rift between office-bearers

Ludhiana: The Finance and Contracts Committee (F&CC) meeting scheduled for Friday could not be convened as senior deputy mayor Rakesh Prashar and deputy mayor Prince Johar boycotted the session at the mayor camp office, sources said. The matter has been escalated to the party high command. Over 400 resolutions aimed at the city's development were to be discussed at the meeting. However, disagreements between the mayor, senior deputy mayor, and deputy mayor put a spanner in the works. A few days ago, senior deputy mayor Prashar expressed concern about allotment of tenders by the MC for beautification of parks in Focal Point at an approximate cost of Rs 10 crore. He alleged that MC officials had flouted norms by awarding tenders using the e-mail ID of a retired executive engineer. However, officials said that they had permission from the XEN to use his ID. When mayor Inderjit Kaur called Prashar to attend the meeting, he initially insisted that clarification be sought from officials. The mayor then requested his attendance to discuss the issue with MC commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Remember Him?

She replied that they would hold the meeting before addressing the matter. When deputy mayor Prince Johar arrived, Prashar refused to enter the meeting venue till the issue was addressed. This prompted the mayor to tell him to do as he wished. Thereafter, both Prashar and Johar left the meeting venue. Sources said that the deputy mayor was also agitated by recent employee transfers without his approval. After their departure, the mayor attempted to approach them with the assistance of MLAs, but they remained adamant. MLAs are now expected to intervene, and a meeting has been scheduled to resolve the issue. When contacted, senior deputy mayor Rakesh Prashar said, "Officials should clarify why they opened the tenders from the ID of a retired XEN and why they gave away tenders with less savings for the department. Many tenders are given away in this manner. When we are not given answers to previous queries then what is the point in approving more resolutions?" Meanwhile mayor Inderjit Kaur denied boycott of the meeting by the deputy mayor and senior deputy mayor. "Both had some personal engagements, so they could not attend the meeting. We will fix the meeting again next week," she said. MSID:: 122905555 413 |
