ULB secretariat employees demand promotions before transfers, stages stir
Kurnool: Tension prevailed at the Municipal Office in Kurnool as members of the Urban Local Body (ULB) Secretariat JAC Committee staged a protest on Tuesday demanding the revocation of GO No. 5.
The employees expressed outrage over the government's decision to implement transfers without first granting due promotions, calling it unjust and discriminatory.
The protestors urged the government to amend GO No 5, allowing transfers to native mandals and enabling staff movement between wards within the same municipality.
They also demanded that Gazetted-level regulations applied to Record Assistant-level employees be revised, claiming that the current policies are disproportionately burdening lower-cadre workers without justification.
They emphasized their commitment to performing government duties and demanded equal treatment, asking why Secretariat employees were being singled out for discrimination.
The demonstration saw participation from several key members of the ULB Secretariat JAC Committee, including Chendrasekhar, Maria Joshna, Shivashankar, Ramprasad, Shivaprasad, Mohan, Bheemraj, Rajesh Kumar, Parandhamudu, Rahul, Manohar, Mahendra, Eella Maddayya, Srinivasulu, Chendana Kalyani, Syed Asma Zabeena, and Vijayakumari.
They urged the government to engage in dialogue and resolve the issues in the interest of justice and administrative harmony.

India's K-6 Hypersonic Missile Could Strike Fear In Enemies' Hearts, Tensions For Pakistan And China To Rise
In what could raise serious concerns for China and Pakistan, reports claim that India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is developing a powerful new weapon — the K-6 hypersonic missile. According to media reports, the Indian Navy is preparing to conduct sea trials of the K-6 missile. These tests will reportedly be carried out using the Navy's S-5 class submarines. If successful, trials will also be conducted from aircraft carriers in future phases. The missile is being developed indigenously by DRDO. In today's DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor of Zee News, analysed the K-6 hypersonic missile of India: Watch Full Episode Here: #DNAWithRahulSinha | देश की हाइपरसोनिक पावर का विश्लेषण.... समंदर में होगा 'बारूदी' मिसाइल टेस्ट भारत करेगा मिसाइल परीक्षण.. मीडिया रिपोर्ट्स में मिसाइल टेस्ट का दावा, K-6 मिसाइल का टेस्ट करेगा भारत, पनडुब्बी से लॉन्च की जाएगी मिसाइल#DNA #K6Missile #DRDO @RahulSinhaTV — Zee News (@ZeeNews) June 28, 2025 Hypersonic missiles are among the most advanced military technologies in the world, currently held by only a select few nations. If India's test succeeds, it will become the sixth country globally to possess such a capability. Features Of K-6 Missile The K-6 missile's standout feature is its speed. Sources associated with the project claim it can reach speeds up to Mach 7.5, making it nearly impossible to intercept using traditional air defence systems. The missile is also expected to have a range of up to 8,000 kilometers. A land-based variant of the K-6 is also planned after successful trials. India-Pakistan Conflict The development comes after India demonstrated its firepower during 'Operation Sindoor', where BrahMos missiles and suicide drones reportedly destroyed Pakistani military installations without resistance. As India moves toward testing its hypersonic missile, it is likely that not just Indian citizens — but also Pakistan's top leadership, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir — are watching closely. The K-6 could prove to be a major strategic threat to Pakistan.

Pakistan, China in tension as India is developing this superweapon, faster, deadlier, stealthier than… capable of… India is surrounded by enemies, and the recent conflict with Pakistan and the ongoing cold war with China have also raised an alarm that the country needs to strengthen its defence forces. India, which showcased its air prowess during Operation Sindoor, is now focusing on strengthening its naval power in view of the Dragon's growing influence in the Indian Ocean. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is working on a hypersonic missile for the Indian Navy. The K-6 hypersonic missile will be specifically designed for submarine launch, and the good news is that its trials are expected very soon. K-6 Hypersonic Ballistic Missile The hypersonic missile is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM). It is equipped with high-tech engine, capable of surpassing the BrahMos cruise missile. With this hypersonic missile will place India in the club of powerful countries such as US, Russia, China, France and UK. Capable of carrying conventional and nuclear weapons, the K-6 missile will give the Indian Navy an edge over China and Pakistan. K-6 Hypersonic Missile: Super Speed And Unmatched Precision As per the Indian Defence Wing, a former BrahMos project scientist stated that K-6 SLBM's speed is its power which ensures that makes it undetectable on radars. It can be launched from submarines and can reach a speed of 7.5 Mach (approx 9,261 KMPH). Karachi's location near India's maritime border makes it a vulnerable strategic target. A successful attack on this major Pakistani economic centre could severely damage the country's economy. Extended Strike Range A former BrahMos scientist claims India's K-6 submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) has an 8,000-km range. It can reach any marine part of Pakistan. This follows previous tests of the K-3, K-4, and K-5 SLBMs, with the K-4 and K-5 already in service. The K-6, when deployed, will significantly enhance India's ballistic missile capabilities alongside the Agni-5 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Brahmos Brahmos is jointly developed by India and Russia. Known for its precision, Brahmos is one of the fastest cruise missiles in the world. It can reach a speed of Mach 2.8–3.0 with a 290–500 km range. Because of its accuracy, the cruise missile is used to strike crucial targets such as radar stations and bunkers. The missile is impossible to intercept because of its low radar cross-section.

K-6 Hypersonic Missile: A Faster, Deadlier, Stealthier Superweapon For The Indian Navy
Last Updated: The K-6 SLBM is under development at DRDO's Advanced Naval Systems Laboratory in Hyderabad, designed specifically for the advanced S-5 class nuclear-powered submarines As regional tensions rise, India is strengthening its naval power to counter China's growing influence in the Indian Ocean. Major investments are underway in aircraft carriers, stealth frigates, and submarines. DRDO is developing the K-6 hypersonic missile for submarine launch, with trials expected soon. The K-6 hypersonic ballistic missile, a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), is poised to enhance India's naval arsenal. With capabilities surpassing the BrahMos cruise missile, the K-6 will place India alongside major global powers like the United States, Russia, China, France, and the UK. The hypersonic missile, which can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads, will be a formidable asset for the Indian Navy. Indian Defense Research Wing, citing a former BrahMos project scientist, has revealed key details about the K-6 hypersonic ballistic missile. He shared that the K-6 SLBM can be launched from submarines and can target enemies at a speed of 7.5 Mach (approximately 9,261 kilometres per hour). This speed ensures that adversaries have minimal time to react. Given its proximity to India's maritime border, Pakistan's economic hub, Karachi, could be a strategic target, potentially crippling Pakistan's economy in a single strike. K-6 To Extend Strike Range To 8,000 Kilometres According to a former scientist associated with the BrahMos project, the K-6 missile boasts an impressive range of 8,000 kilometres, covering the entirety of Pakistan. India has previously tested the K-3 (1,000 to 2,000 km range), K-4 (3,500 km range), and K-5 (5,000 to 6,000 km range) SLBMs, with the K-4 and K-5 already inducted into the Navy. Once operational, the K-6, combined with the Agni-5 ICBM, will form a formidable ballistic missile arsenal for India. Specially Designed For S-5 SSBN Submarines The K-6 SLBM is being developed at DRDO's Advanced Naval Systems Laboratory in Hyderabad, specifically for deployment on the more advanced S-5 class SSBN submarines. Larger than the Arihant, the S-5 will be 12 metres long, 2 metres wide, and capable of carrying two to three tonnes of warheads. The K-6 missile's Multiple Independently Targetable Reentry Vehicle (MIRV) capability further enhances its lethality. First Published: June 26, 2025, 11:05 IST
