NGT directs Telangana SPCB to submit report on muck at Polavaram

In a setback to the Telangana government, the National Green Tribunal on Monday directed the Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB) to submit a status report on a plea alleging that muck was being dumped illegally at the Polavaram dam in Andhra Pradesh.

The NGT heard a petition filed by one Pentapati Pulla Rao. In the plea, the petitioner alleged that illegal dumping of muck was taking place during the construction of the Indira Sagar Polavaram Multipurpose Project which was damaging the environment. Pulla Rao counsel Sravan Kumar argued that several environmental violations took place at the site. The petitioner contended that waste material was being dumped in agricultural lands near the Polavaram project which was declared as a national project under the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014.

Hearing the arguments, the NGT has directed the pollution control board to submit a report by January 11 next year. The NGT had earlier ordered a four-member committee to conduct an inspection near the Polavaram dam and submit a report. It had constituted a committee comprising representatives of the Central Pollution Control Board, additional principal chief conservator of forests, the State Pollution Control Board, and the district magistrate to give a report on the factual aspects.

Why are NDA allies resigning, asks KTR

The Union government on Sunday passed crucial bills in Parliament, including the Agriculture Bill with Prime Minister Narendra Modi terming it a “watershed moment in the history of Indian agriculture”.

The Prime Minister later took to his Twitter handle. “A watershed moment in the history of Indian agriculture! Congratulations to our hardworking farmers on the passage of key bills in Parliament, which will ensure a complete transformation of the agriculture sector as well as empower crores of farmers,” he tweeted.

The Telangana government on September 9 introduced several legislations in the Assembly, intended to overhaul the revenue administration by simplifying agriculture and non-agricultural land transactions, preventing land encroachments, and eradicating corruption at the grassroot level. The IT Minister believes that the Telangana government’s revenue bills did not receive any backlash from the farming community, but the central government’s Agriculture Bills had faced protests from various quarters, mainly from farmers.

On Monday, IT and MAUD minister K T Rama Rao took a jibe at the Modi government for passing the agriculture bills. Taking to his Twitter handle, KTR commented, “When Telangana legislature passed the farmer friendly Revenue Bill last week, there was widespread jubilation and cheer among the farming community across the state. If the #Agriculture Bills2020 is truly a watershed moment, why is no farmer celebrating and why are NDA allies resigning.”

KTR was referring to the deep fissures between the ruling BJP and the Shiromani Akali Dal alliance over the farm bill. Union Food Processing Minister Harismrat Kaur had quit from the Cabinet in protest against the three farm bills calling them “anti-farmer ordinances and legislations”.

The Telangana government had been critical of the Modi government on a host of issues, mainly the Electricity Act. Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar had recently passed a resolution in the Assembly opposing the Power Bill calling it draconian law with an aim to usurp the autonomy of the state governments. KCR said the Power Bill would have an adverse impact directly on the management of the state electricity utilities. He argued that the Power Bill is against the interest of farmers and poor domestic consumers.

Mission Bhagiratha is huge success, find out why

Telangana now has no fluoride-affected districts ever since the government had implemented its flagship program ‘Mission Bhagiratha’ to provide safe drinking water to people.

Telangana had 967 fluoride-affected habitations as of April 1, 2015. There are no fluoride-affected districts in Telangana as of August 1, 2020, according to a report tabled in Parliament. The report about Telangana overcoming the problem of fluorosis came a month after it was ranked number one in the country under the Centre’s Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM). The state secured top ranking with 98.31 percent of households having functional tap connections.

“Number of fluoride-affected villages at the time of formation of Telangana was 967. After the successful implementation of the Mission Bhagiratha, the number has come down to zero,” tweeted Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao on Friday. He tagged the list of states with arsenic and fluoride affected habitation as tabled in the Parliament. Under Mission Bhagiratha, the government had built a water treatment plant at a cost of Rs 436 crore to provide safe drinking water to 585 villages affected by fluorosis, KT Rama Rao said.

KCR makes a powerful speech in Assembly

Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Tuesday moved a resolution in the Assembly demanding that the central government withdraw the Power Bill terming it a draconian law aimed at usurping the powers and functions of the state government.

Rao said he spoke to CMs of non-BJP ruled states to fight unitedly in Parliament against the Power Bill. He strongly opposed the Centre’s proposed bill to amend the Electricity Act which he said would have an adverse impact directly on the management of the state electricity utilities.

He termed the Power Bill introduced in Parliament as a draconian law meant to usurp the rights of the state government to supply power to the farming and domestic sector at subsidized tariffs.

Expressing concern over the Power Bill, Rao said it has a provision for the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) of subsidy provided to consumers, particularly to the agriculture and domestic sectors. “This would work against the interest of farmers and very poor domestic consumers. Mode of payment of the subsidy should be left to the state government. We will oppose the Bill at any cost. Its provisions are draconian. It usurps the rights of the states,” KCR told the Assembly.

Rao the Power Bill would have an adverse impact directly on the management of State Electricity utilities. He said the proposed Power Bill would take away certain functions and powers of the State government. Proposals like the appointment of State Electricity Regulatory Commission by a selection committee constituted by the Centre and entrusting the responsibilities to a neighbouring State Electricity Regulatory Commissions under certain circumstances were against the federal spirit.

Rao also said that the powers of extending subsidy to farmers and appointing ERCs too would be taken away by the Central government once the Bill is passed in both the Houses of Parliament. He has appealed to the four elected BJP MPs from Telangana to support the state government’s fight against the union government’s Power Bill.

Addressing the Assembly on Tuesday, Rao said he is appealing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi with folded hands to withdraw the Power Bill.

BJP demands probe into Rakul’s drug links

The State BJP leaders on Saturday demanded a thorough investigation into the drug nexus of Tollywood in the wake of reports that Rakul Preet Singh figured in the list of actors allegedly named by Rhea Chakraborty during interrogation by the Narcotic Control Bureau (NCB).

BJP spokesman K Krishna Sagar Rao said he will write to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Minister of State for Home Kishan Reddy seeing a probe into the drug racket while urging Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao to initiate a thorough investigation.

“Rakul Preet Singh is Telangana brand ambassador. She had been preaching against drug abuse, through state government-sponsored publicity programs. This shows the hypocrisy of such actors. How can the government continue to have her as the brand ambassador of Telangana,” he said.

“Many such drug users in Tollywood are bad role models, he added. He also said IPS officer Akun Sabharwal had done a thorough investigation into the drug mafia influence in not just Tollywood, but the probe was water-down because of political pressure.

SC sends notice to ‘T’ on Ayushman Bharat

Telangana BJP senior leader Perala Shekhar on Friday moved the Supreme Court complaining that the KCR government has not been implementing the central government’s health scheme Ayushman Bharat Yojana.

Hearing the petition, the Supreme Court issued notice to the Telangana government asking it to explain why it has failed to implement the Ayushman Bharat Yojana scheme. The apex court issued notices to Telangana Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar and gave two weeks’ time to the state government to file a counter-affidavit.

Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had rejected the Ayushman Bharat scheme in favor of the state’s Aarogya Sri medical health cover scheme for the poor. In the past, he had stated that the state government is not interested in wasting public money on central schemes which are not beneficial to the people. KCR also claimed that Arogya Sri was far more beneficial and had a wider outreach than the Ayushman Bharat scheme.

In the petition, BJP leader Shekar appealed to the Supreme Court to direct the KCR government to implement the central government’s Ayushman Bharat scheme that covers corona treatment. He also contended that the Ayushman Bharat covers various serious ailments which are not included in the Arogya Sri and provided treatment free of cost to the patients. He alleged that the TS government was denying medical facility extended by the union government to Telangana people. In the petition, he also pointed out that several non-BJP ruling states like Odisha and West Bengal were not implementing the central health scheme.

9,000 acres Pharma Hub to boost Hyderabad revenue

Telangana CM in waiting KT Rama Rao has said in the State Assembly that Hyderabad is going to get another massive Project with potential to create thousands of job opportunities soon. Already, 9,000 acres have acquired for the new Pharmacy City to come in the vicinity of Telangana Capital.

KTR asked for support from all the organisations concerned to give support for acquiring some more land needed for the one of the world’s biggest pharma hubs. Hyderabad is already an internationally renowned fast track city. With the addition of Pharma hub, it will see much more prosperity in the coming years.

Undoubtedly, revenue generation in Hyderabad has reached such gigantic proportions that it has given the confidence required for the government to spend heavily on big projects like Kaleswaram lift project.

It goes without saying that in this one respect, AP CM Jaganmohan Reddy is not at all following his Telangana counterpart in developing one single capital with huge huge potential for revenue generation. Big industrial hubs can be attracted easily to metro cities while lots of incentives will have to be given for bringing them to remote areas. To bring Kia Motors to Anantapur, AP had to give many concessions which became a political issue now.

NTR biography in 10th class textbook: NBK thanks KCR

A biography of United Andhra Pradesh former Chief Minister Late NT Rama Rao was included in the 10th class textbooks. Overjoyed at this, actor, MLA and NTR’s son Nandamuri Balakrishna has expressed profound thanks to Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao. It is well known that KCR is an ardent and diehard fan of NTR. KCR has even made it known to the world by naming his only son after NTR. KTR full name is K Taraka Rama Rao.

In his thanksgiving, Mr. Balakrishna recalled how NTR fought for and achieved self-respect for the Telugu people in front of the whole country by opposing the unquestioned leadership of Delhi. He stood out as an outstanding Telugu personality who had left an indelible mark on the country’s political scene. NTR created many records not just in the film industry but also politics. It was possible only for NTR to challenge a national party and defeat it within eight months of entering the political scene.

KCR has included NTR’s biography and contributions to Telugu people in 10th class textbooks to express his admiration for the departed leader and actor. It goes without saying that NTR will remain an undisputed leader in the hearts of crores of people in both the Telugu States.

After water-sharing battle, AP and T now in fresh tussle

After the war over water sharing, the KCR and Jagan governments have now locked horns over running inter-state bus services.

In the latest tussle, both the governments are differing on running inter-state buses on certain routes. The bone of contention between both the governments is the lucrative Vijayawada-Hyderabad sector. The KCR government is insisting that the Jagan government forego the profitable route operations. The transport officials of both the governments held several talks but have failed to reach an agreement on the contentious route.

With no agreement in sight, now the transport ministers of both the states are likely to hold talks on Monday to resolve the issue.

The agreement reached between both the governments on running inter-state bus services as part of the AP Reorganization Act ended in June 2019. The Covid-19 lockdown has brought a break to the inter-state bus services between the two states.

Plea in Telangana HC to halt Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation project

A petition was filed in the Telangana High Court opposing the Andhra Pradesh government’s Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme.

The petitioners Vamsi Chand Reddy and Srinivas argued that the Jagan government was going ahead with the project despite the Krishna River Management Board directing the Andhra Pradesh government to stop Rayalaseema project work.

The petitioners contended that the AP government had called for tenders to execute the project despite the Krishna River Management Board directive and also Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat instructions not to do so.

The petitioners also brought to the notice of the court that the Telangana government took objection to the AP government’s administrative sanction to draw and utilise six to eight TMC of water per day from the Srisailam reservoir on Krishna River.

Three firms — Navayuga Engineering Company Ltd (NECL), a joint venture of SPML – NCC, and Max Infra (I) Ltd — filed their bids and the officials held the technical evaluation of the same on August 13.

Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat had recently written a letter advising the Chief Ministers of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh not to proceed with the construction of projects which have not been cleared by the agencies concerned such as the Central Water Commission (CWC).

Jagan shot back. In a letter to Shekhawat, Jagan clarified that that the Rayalaseema project is being built with the objective of using the water that Andhra Pradesh receives in the summer as per the Reorganization Act.

Jagmohan Reddy in response to the letter by Union Minister, Shekhawat regarding the new projects taken in Andhra Pradesh, the Chief Minister informed that “no” new project is taken up by the state government, Andhra Pradesh is drawing only the share allocated to the state in Krishna Water Disputes 1 (KWDT). Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) is implementing the same.

The Apex Council meeting scheduled to be held on August 25 was postponed after
Shekhawat was tested positive for Covid-19.
