CPI(M) demands house pattas for people living near Krishna riverbank
Staging a demonstration during the Public Grievance Redressal System (PGRS) at the Collectorate in the city on Monday, CPI(M) State committee member Donepudi Kasinath thanked the local people for their decades-long fight due to which their dream of building a retaining wall was realised last year. When there is a retaining wall which will protect these areas from getting flooded in future, why should the government delay in issuing pattas, he questioned.
CPI(M) State secretariat member Ch. Babu Rao said that while the government is quick to allot land for big companies to establish malls, it, however, drags its feet when it comes to issuing pattas to poor people.

CPI(ML) flags anomalies in voter list, seeks rectification
Patna: The CPI(ML) on Sunday submitted a complaint to the Election Commission in Delhi, highlighting several anomalies it has initially identified in the draft electoral rolls under the special intensive revision (SIR) exercise. These discrepancies relate to electors in six assembly constituencies – Bhore, Barachatti, Tarari, Aurangabad, Digha and Jehanabad. The party alleged irregularities such as the non-inclusion of eligible voters, duplicate entries under the same EPIC number, names listed at multiple locations with minor variations, removal of valid voters and inclusion of deceased people. In Jehanabad town's Jafarganj locality alone, the names of over 200 Muslim electors were deleted, it alleged. In Digha, CPI(ML) listed 10 deceased people allegedly still present on the draft roll with names and serial numbers provided. In Bhore, the names of two living persons — Kudrat Khan and Shailesh Prasad — were said to be missing, though officials claimed their names were included under different EPIC numbers. The party questioned, "We want to know as to how could the EPIC number change? Are they the same electors, or different ones?" In Barachatti's booth 305, the same EPIC number was reportedly assigned to two different women, prompting the party to ask, "How can it be possible?" In Tarari, multiple entries under altered names for the same individuals were flagged, such as Vinay Kumar Tiwari being listed thrice using variations of his name. In Aurangabad, several voters were found to have been removed from their original serial numbers and re-entered elsewhere, the party said. The CPI-ML has sought rectification of the alleged discrepancies. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !

1 railway staffer killed, another seriously injured as Maoists carry out twin IED blasts on tracks in Jharkhand
A railway employee was killed and another seriously injured in an IED blast carried out allegedly by Maoists when a team was inspecting a site where an explosion had occurred earlier in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district early Sunday morning, an RPF official said. Confirming the incident, a railway official in Chakradharpur said the incident was part of a two-stage attack carried out by Maoists during the 'Shaheed Saptah' (Martyrs' Week), which was held from July 28 to August 3. 'The first IED explosion occurred early on Sunday, damaging a portion of the track. A second IED, likely planted nearby, exploded around 9.30 am as a patrol team was inspecting the affected section,' said a senior RPF official. The second blast took place between Karamapada and Rejda railway siding, under the Chakradharpur railway division, severely injuring two railway employees. 'Itwa Oraon, a keyman with the Railways, suffered critical leg injuries and was rushed to a hospital. He was declared dead on arrival. His colleague, Budhram Munda, sustained serious injuries and is undergoing treatment,' he said. The twin blasts forced authorities to suspend movement on the section of the tracks. An official said that train movement is expected to resume only after a full security clearance. The CPI (Maoist) has also called for a bandh (shutdown) on August 3 across six states, including Jharkhand, in remembrance of their fallen cadres. The district administration had issued alerts prior to the bandh, and security has been tightened in the region. An official said that additional forces from the CRPF and district police have been deployed as combing operations are underway.
