478 Sexual Harassment Cases In 15 Days In Hyderabad
Hyderabad: A total of 478 sexual harassment cases have been registered across Hyderabad in past 15 days by the Telangana's vigilant SHE Teams. These cases coincide with the bustling Bonalu festivities and Moharram's Bibi Ka Alam prayers. The crackdown, aimed at ensuring women's safety, saw offenders booked for acts ranging from physical touch to passing lewd comments. Out of the 478 cases, 386 were against adults and 92 against minors. All those caught were subjected to counselling and presented before a magistrate, who imposed fines of up to Rs 100. A stern warning was also issued to all offenders. "Repeat violations would lead to a First Information Report (FIR) being booked against them". In the case of the 92 minors, their parents were informed and warned about their children's socially deviant behaviour. The SHE Teams, actively deploying cameras during key events like Bonalu Mahankali, Golconda, and Bibi Ka Alam for a period of 10 days, have been instrumental in these arrests. While speaking to NDTV, Lavanya, Superintendent of Police for the SHE Teams, reiterated their commitment to instilling confidence in women. "We want to instill confidence in women," she stated, confirming that offenders are counselled, fined, and given warnings. SP Lavanya further emphasised that the SHE Teams operate round-the-clock, maintaining a presence at hotspots and during school and college hours to curb such incidents. This concentrated effort by the SHE Teams underscores the authorities' determination to create a safer environment for women, especially during large public gatherings and daily life. The consistent monitoring and prompt action it is hoped will serve as a strong deterrent against harassment in the city. What are SHE Teams Launched on 24th October, 2014 in Hyderabad, these teams were formed as a part of Telangana Government's vision to provide a totally safe and secure environment for women. At present there are 331 SHE teams working in Telangana.

Inflation likely to be under control
PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara Malaysia has reaffirmed that the impact of current and upcoming domestic policy reforms on inflation is expected to remain manageable – a view in line with analysts' estimates. OCBC Bank (Malaysia) Bhd global markets research & strategy senior Asean economist Lavanya Venkateswaran said even if the planned rationalisation of RON95 fuel takes effect in October 2025, with a potential price increase of 20–25%, the adjustment is projected to add only 0.5 percentage points to headline inflation, bringing it to around 2.0% for the year. She said this moderate level suggests that inflation will stay within a range that allows BNM to maintain a policy stance supportive of economic growth. 'Our GDP forecast for 2025 stands at 3.9% year-on-year, but we expect growth to slow sharply in the first half of the year to 3.6% from 4.3% if the 25% US tariffs are implemented on August 1 without any exemptions. 'We expect this to weigh on domestic demand, which has remained strong in the first half of 2025. 'With inflation likely to stay under control despite subsidy reforms and slower growth, we forecast that BNM will cut the policy rate by another 25 basis points – either at the Sept 4 or Nov 6 meeting – bringing it down to 2.50% by the end of 2025,' Lavanya said in a report. Meanwhile, BNM has stated that it will continue to take proactive steps to support the country's economic momentum as global growth shows signs of steady expansion. At its latest meeting, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided to cut the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) by 25 basis points to 2.75% yesterday, aiming to create a more supportive monetary environment. The ceiling and floor rates of the OPR corridor have also been adjusted to 3.00% and 2.50% respectively. The central bank said the decision reflects an effort to sustain domestic economic resilience, in line with global trends showing continued growth – largely driven by strong consumer spending and, to some extent, early demand brought forward by businesses. Further, BNM also noted that the global growth outlook would remain supported by positive labour market conditions, less restrictive monetary policy, and fiscal stimulus. This outlook is weighed down by uncertainties surrounding tariff developments, as well as geopolitical tensions. Increased volatility in global financial markets and commodity prices could also result from these uncertainties. For Malaysia, BNM said the latest developments point towards continued growth in economic activity in the second quarter, underpinned by sustained domestic demand and export growth. Moving forward, the central bank expects resilient domestic demand to support growth. Employment and wage growth, particularly within domestic-oriented sectors, as well as income-related policy measures, will support household spending. 'The expansion in investment activity will be sustained by the progress of multi-year projects in both the private and public sectors, the continued high realisation of approved investments, as well as the ongoing implementation of catalytic initiatives under the national master plans,' it said. Further, the central bank said favourable trade negotiation outcomes, pro-growth policies in major economies, continued demand for electrical and electronic goods, and robust tourism activity could raise Malaysia's export prospects. However, the growth outlook remains vulnerable to downside risks, primarily due to slower global trade, weakened sentiment, and lower-than-expected commodity production. Headline and core inflation averaged 1.4% and 1.9% in the first five months of the year, respectively, BNM noted. Overall, inflation in 2025 is expected to remain moderate amid contained global cost conditions and the absence of excessive domestic demand pressures, it said. Inflationary pressure from global commodity prices is expected to stay limited, helping to keep domestic cost conditions moderate. In this context, the impact of current and upcoming policy reforms on inflation is likely to remain contained. BNM said although Malaysia's economy remains resilient, growth prospects could still be affected by external uncertainties. It said the ringgit's performance will continue to be influenced by global factors, but strong economic fundamentals and structural reforms are expected to provide steady support. Against this backdrop, BNM's recent rate cut is a pre-emptive move to safeguard growth, with the central bank remaining watchful of risks to both inflation and economic momentum.
