Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has insisted that officials sensitise themselves first about the implementation of his new brain child “Telangana Dalit Bandhu” before sensitising the eligible beneficiaries of the scheme. As part of sensitising themselves, Mr. Rao asked officials at a meeting on Monday to understand the background of SCs in villages of Huzurabad constituency where the scheme will be implemented on a pilot basis. The officials must hear their views and design work that will give them immediate financial stability. A workshop would also be organised shortly for higher officials, employees, prominent members of SC communities, leaders of SC organisations and activists. The decisions taken at the workshop will be discussed at the field level in SC colonies to design works for beneficiaries. It should be ensured that the works generate income for beneficiaries without loss of time, a release said.
In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
