Eligible families in KCR's adopted village get Indiramma Houses

Hyderabad: Minister for Revenue Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy on Wednesday announced that the Congress government has sanctioned Indiramma houses to all eligible families in Vasalamarri village of Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, the village once adopted by former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao. The Minister, who is set to personally distribute sanction letters to 205 beneficiaries on Thursday, said the Congress government under CM Revanth Reddy is standing by those who were 'betrayed' in the name of development during the previous BRS regime. 'On November 1, 2020, then CM KCR adopted Vasalamarri village. Later, on June 22, 2021, he held a Gram Sabha and shared a community meal with the villagers, promising to develop it into a 'Golden Vasalamarri' and build double-bedroom houses for every family. However, KCR failed to keep his word, as not a single house was built during his tenure. Worse, several homes were demolished on either side of the road for the expansion of the route to KCR's farmhouse, leaving many families homeless. Those affected have been living in makeshift huts and tents ever since. They lost what little they had, and the promise of a model village remained just that, a promise,' Ponguleti recalled. Criticising former Chief Minister KCR, Minister Ponguleti said, 'Vasalamarri clearly shows how people's hopes were used for political gain. KCR said he would set an example for the whole country, but he couldn't even fulfil promises in the village he adopted.' The Minister said that under CM Revanth Reddy's directive, a fresh survey was conducted in the village, and 205 eligible families were identified for Indiramma housing. 'These houses have now been sanctioned. I will personally hand over the approval letters to the beneficiaries,' he said. The Minister reiterated the Congress government's commitment to welfare and inclusive development, stating that the Indiramma housing initiative is being revived to ensure that no deserving family is left without a home.

Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's son Anant Ambani makes big move, decides to donate....

Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's youngest son Anant Ambani made a generous donation of Rs. 5 crore to the Ganga Sabha at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar, one of the most sacred ghats on the banks of the Ganga river in the holy city of Haridwar. Anant, along with his father Mukesh Ambani and wife, had been visiting several religious places across India. During their stop at Har Ki Pauri, Anant personally reviewed the work being carried out by the Ganga Sabha and decided to support their efforts with the donation. According to reports, this contribution is aimed at improving the infrastructure at Har Ki Pauri. Following the Haridwar visit, Anant invited Ganga Sabha official Tanmay Vashisht to Mumbai for a meeting. The two met at the Ambani family residence, Antilia, where they spoke about the Ganga river, ongoing projects at Har Ki Pauri, and the Sabha's future plans. Vashisht expressed that the Ambani family holds deep spiritual values and has a heartfelt connection to sacred places, especially the Ganga. During his time in Haridwar, Anant reassured the Ganga Sabha members of his full support. In return, the members expressed their sincere thanks to the Ambani family and offered prayers for their well-being and continued prosperity. In 2020, Anant donated Rs 5 crore to the Uttarakhand Char Dham Devasthanam Board to help it cover the financial losses suffered due to COVID-19 induced nationwide lockdown. The Uttarakhand Char Dham Devasthanam Board manages four revered shrines- Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunotri and Gangotri and other 51 temples.

Known for efforts to save Great Indian Bustard, conservationist's death shocks wildlife lovers in Jaisalmer

Radheshyam, conservationists Shyam Bishnoi and Kanwar Raj Bhati, and Surendra Chaudhary, a forest guard, were killed when their camper vehicle collided with a truck in the Lathi area of Jaisalmer on Friday night. Radheshyam (28) was an animal rescuer from Dholia village in Pokhran, who was known for his efforts to save the Great Indian Bustard (GIB), the state bird of Rajasthan, considered India's most critically-endangered bird species. Jaipur, May 25 (PTI) The untimely deaths of three wildlife activists, including prominent conservationist Radheshyam Pemani Bishnoi, and a forest guard in a road accident in Jaisalmer have shocked wildlife lovers and locals. With the support of villagers, Radheyshyam created more than 100 watering holes for birds across Pokhran, a desert area, which were filled regularly using tankers. 'Radheshyam made wildlife conservation his life's mission. He worked on the ground. He started a great mission to provide water to birds and animals inhabiting this desert area. I urge the youth of the region to come forward and carry forward his mission,' Shivraj Bishnoi from the Akhil Bhartiya Jeev Raksha Bishnoi Sabha said. He said the Sabha will erect a memorial in memory of the four wildlife lovers who lost their lives in the accident. Shivraj also appealed to the state government to give job to one family member of each of the deceased. On Friday night, Radheshyam, Shyam Bishnoi, Bhati and Chaudhary were going to check on a tip-off about poaching activity in the Lathi area. But before they could reach the spot, their camper vehicle collided with a truck, leaving all four dead, police said. Radheshyam was known for raising the plight of the Great Indian Bustard in the desert region. He also rescued and rehabilitated many birds and animals. 'A dedicated conservationist, Radheyshyam was always ready to rescue animals and birds. The government should help the deceased's families in every possible manner,' wildlife activist Mal Singh said. Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, former chief minister Ashok Gehlot, state Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra and several other prominent leaders have condoled the loss of lives in the accident.

Image: Facebook In a unanimous decision, Advocate Ranjiv Nirghin has been elected as the president of the South African Hindu Maha Sabha. The election, held over the weekend, marks a pivotal moment following the passing of the late Ashwin Trikamjee, who held the position until March. Nirghin was unanimously elected as president of the South African Hindu Maha Sabha in terms of its constitution at its council meeting on Saturday, the organisation announced. South African Hindu Maha Sabha Deputy President Professor Brij Maharaj said Nirghin is not new to the organisation. He has served the Maha Sabha for many years in various capacities. These include the youth coordinator, council, and executive member. 'He also brings a wealth of experience as the President of the Midlands Hindu Society in Pietermaritzburg,' Maharaj said. Maharaj stated that while it is impossible to fill Trikamjee's shoes, Nirghin is committed to upholding Hindu Dharma, the vision and mission of the South African Hindu Maha Sabha, specifically promoting unity in diversity, irrespective of our linguistic and sectarian beliefs, within a multi-religious and multi-cultural society in South Africa, in keeping with the motto of the Maha Sabha – Vasudhaiv Kutumbakum – which means 'the world is one family'. Organisations and the average person congratulated Nirghin on his appointment, some also cited his abilities based on past positions. The Hindi Shiksha Sangh Midlands Region said: 'We wish you and your team victory as you embark on protecting and promoting Hindu Dharma. May the blessings of Shri Raam be your guiding light.' Merisha Lalla said: 'Sending the biggest congratulations to Advocate Ranjiv Nirghin on his election as president of the SA Hindu Maha Sabha. From first meeting him 25 years ago to our engagements over the years, I know he will do us all proud.... Well done Ranjiv Bhai.' Rishi Maharajh said: 'Congratulations. Democracy in action. Based on Advocate Nirghin's track record and commitment to Dharma, I know that the Sabha's work will progress well.' Vishal Surbun said Nirghin chaired the Hindu Students Association at the University of Natal-Durban in the late 1980s, bringing decades of leadership experience. 'I feel confident that the Sabha will flourish with him at the helm,' Surbun said. [email protected]
