TDP Kondepi MLA Dola Bala Veeranjaneya Swamy has slammed the State government for “arbitrarily cancelling” over 1.25 lakh social security pensions a day before their disbursement. Addressing the media on Wednesday, Mr. Veeranjaneya Swamy said the government’s decision was a rude shock to the old-age, widow and differently abled beneficiaries in the State. “It is atrocious on the part of the government to say that pensions not availed in a particular month will not be given later. In the past three months, the YSRCP government has removed over 2.28 lakh social security pensions across the State,” he alleged.A crowd comprising farmers, researchers, professors, students, and horticulture enthusiasts thronged the ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Hesaraghatta, Bengaluru, on Friday for the inaugural ceremony of the Triphal Diversity Show which showcased 300 mango, 100 jackfruit, and 100 banana genotypes in collaboration with ICAR-National Research Centre for Banana, Tiruchirappalli.
The State government on Friday constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT), headed by Additional Director-General of Police, Manish Kharbikar of the Economic Offences division of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to probe the alleged multi-crore scam in the government-run Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation.
