New Geethanjali School in Aiza Compared to Cattle Shed: BRSV Demands Immediate Closure and Action Against Officials
Gadwal: In a strong statement against the management of a private school operating in Aiza Mandal headquarters of Alampur Constituency, BRSV State Leader and District Coordinator Mr. Kuruvu Pallayya has demanded that the recognition of New Geethanjali High School be revoked immediately. After a recent visit to the school premises, Mr. Pallayya harshly criticized the condition of the classrooms and overall infrastructure, comparing it to that of a "cattle shed" rather than an educational institution. He noted several violations of educational norms, government guidelines, and safety protocols. Key Observations and Allegations by BRSV Leaders: Unhygienic and Unsafe Classrooms: Classrooms were found to be extremely dirty and poorly maintained. Students are allegedly made to sit next to bathrooms, raising serious concerns over sanitation and child welfare. Violation of RTE Norms: The school lacks proper classrooms, sanitation certificates, traffic safety certifications, and fire safety measures—all of which are mandatory under the Right to Education Act. Unregulated School Operations: The school is allegedly operating from temporary, unsafe structures resembling cattle sheds, with no basic amenities such as drinking water, taps for washing, or functional toilets. Commercial Exploitation of Parents: The school management is reportedly exploiting poor parents by forcing them to buy notebooks, textbooks, uniforms, ties, and belts at high prices, running into lakhs of rupees. Health Hazards to Children: Students are said to eat and study in the same dusty, unclean classrooms, with no designated play area or hygienic dining space. Sitting on dusty floors has reportedly caused dust allergies and other health issues among the children. Fire Safety Risk: The absence of fire safety systems poses a serious risk of major accidents. In case of fire or emergency, there is no mechanism to protect the children. Demands Made by BRSV Leadership: 1. Immediate cancellation of recognition for New Geethanjali High School. 2. Strict legal action against school administrator Venkatesh, for operating the school in violation of laws and exploiting parents. 3. Suspension of the Mandal Education Officer (MEO) for allegedly colluding with the private school management and failing to conduct proper inspections. 4. Thorough inquiry into how the school was allowed to run for years without basic infrastructure or legal compliance. Leaders Participated in the Protest: Alongside Mr. Kuruvu Pallayya, the protest was attended by former BRSV Town President Veeresh, along with Raju, Naresh, and other local activists. This incident highlights growing concerns over unregulated private educational institutions in rural areas, where poor families are often left with no choice but to send their children to such schools due to lack of government infrastructure. Activists have urged the District Education Officer (DEO) and Collector to take immediate action to ensure children's safety and protect the integrity of the education system. Further investigations are awaited.

Farmers Lie Under Trucks in Protest at Pulikal Paddy Center: Demand Immediate Transport Amid Rain Threat
Gadwal: In a dramatic display of frustration and desperation, farmers at the Pulikal paddy procurement center in Aiza mandal, Alampur constituency, staged a protest by lying down under trucks, demanding the immediate deployment of transport vehicles to move their harvested paddy bags. The agitation was sparked by the prolonged non-availability of lorries, which has left tons of paddy stock piled at the center with no way to move them to rice mills. The protesting farmers alleged that despite repeated appeals and representations made to district authorities and the state government, no action had been taken to resolve the transportation crisis. With monsoon rains setting in, the farmers fear that their hard-earned produce may get soaked and damaged, leading to huge losses. 'The Government Has Turned a Blind Eye' Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) state leader and Jogulamba Gadwal district coordinator Kuruvu Pallayya expressed deep concern over the situation. Speaking to the media at the protest site, he criticized the Congress government and district administration for their inaction. Pallayya stated, 'Despite bringing the issue to the Collector's attention several times, there has been no response. It's shameful that on the occasion of Telangana Formation Day, our farmers are forced to take such steps just to protect their produce.' He accused the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government of being indifferent to the plight of farmers. 'This administration seems more interested in glamour and showmanship than the suffering of farmers. Today, tears are rolling down the eyes of Telangana's food producers,' he said. Paddy Bags Lie Unattended as Rains Threaten Damage According to the farmers, paddy from the area has already been weighed and packed into gunny bags at the procurement center. However, due to the non-availability of transport trucks for several days, the paddy is still lying exposed, vulnerable to rainfall. With recent rains already affecting parts of the district, the farmers fear their harvest could be ruined. Kuruvu Pallayya demanded that the government immediately dispatch sufficient lorries to the Pulikal procurement center to transport the stock to rice mills without further delay. The incident highlights serious logistical failures in the state's procurement operations. While the government celebrated Telangana State Formation Day, farmers in Pulikal were left out in the rain—literally and metaphorically. The episode serves as a grim reminder of the continuing challenges faced by the agricultural community, and the urgent need for responsive governance at the grassroots level.
