Gadwal: In a significant infrastructure development, the Government of Telangana has sanctioned ₹121.92 crores for the construction of a High-Level Road Bridge (HLRB) across the Krishna River, downstream of the Priyadarshini Jurala Project. This bridge will connect Revulapally village in Dharur Mandal, Jogulamba Gadwal District, with Nandimalla village in Amarchinta Mandal, Wanaparthy District. A Government Order (G.O.Rt.No.292) was issued on July 1, 2025, by the Transport, Roads & Buildings Department (R&B), marking the official administrative sanction for the project.
The announcement has sparked widespread appreciation and celebrations across the Gadwal constituency, especially among the farming community and local leadership who had long awaited improved connectivity across the river.
Ministers Honored for Fulfilling Their Promise
Congress Gadwal Constituency In-Charge Smt. Sarithamma expressed heartfelt gratitude to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy, District In-Charge Minister Damodar Narasimha, District Ministers Jupally Krishna Rao and Vakiti Srihari, and MP Mallu Ravi. She acknowledged their commitment and swift action in turning a long-pending demand into reality by issuing the G.O. shortly after visiting the project site.
According to Sarithamma, Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy, during his recent visit to the Jurala Project on Sunday, had promised that the Government Order for the High-Level Road Bridge would be issued without delay. True to his word, the G.O. was promptly issued, signaling the start of this crucial infrastructure work.
In a statement released from the Congress Party Camp Office in Gadwal, Sarithamma conveyed thanks to the government on behalf of the people and farmers of the Gadwal constituency, recognizing this as a long-awaited and much-needed step toward regional development.
MLA Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy Also Expresses Gratitude
Gadwal MLA Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy also extended his sincere appreciation to the state leadership. He thanked Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy, District In-Charge Minister Damodar Narasimha, Ministers Jupally Krishna Rao, Vakiti Srihari, and MP Mallu Ravi on behalf of the farmers and people of Gadwal constituency.
He noted that the bridge will provide a crucial connection between remote villages on both sides of the Krishna River and significantly boost transportation, agriculture logistics, and emergency access, especially during floods or monsoon season.
A Bridge of Development and Connectivity
The sanctioned High-Level Road Bridge will not only facilitate better movement between the districts of Jogulamba Gadwal and Wanaparthy but is also expected to spur socio-economic development in the region. Once completed, the bridge will eliminate dependency on longer routes or temporary crossings and will particularly benefit farmers, traders, and students.
The project aligns with the Telangana Government's broader vision of improving rural infrastructure and regional connectivity. The Chief Engineer (R&B) State Roads & CRN, Hyderabad, has been directed to prepare detailed estimates for the construction and submit them for further action.
This development is being seen as a major achievement for the people of the Gadwal constituency and a fulfillment of a long-standing demand that promises to enhance both accessibility and prosperity in the region.

MP R. Krishnaiah Accuses Congress of Betrayal on BC Reservation Promises

Hyderabad: Member of Parliament and BJP leader R. Krishnaiah made strong accusations against the ruling Congress government. He alleged that the government had deliberately neglected the welfare of the Backwards Classes (BC) despite its commitments made in the Kamareddy BC Declaration. Addressing the media on Friday, Krishnaiah criticised the Congress for failing to implement the promised 42% BC reservation. He claimed that the party was shifting responsibility by blaming the central government and the BJP. He pointed out that under Constitutional Amendments 73 and 74, specifically Clause 243D(6), state governments have the authority to decide local body reservations, which means the current Congress-led government could act immediately. He further alleged that the Congress was falsely claiming that the BJP had blocked the reservation bill, despite the BJP's declared support for also mentioned that no Government Order (GO) has been issued, even after the Assembly approved the measure. According to Krishnaiah, reservations should be based on caste professions rather than religion; he argued that including Muslims undermines the genuine representation of BC communities. Krishnaiah referenced past injustices, such as the diversion of 4% central BC reservation to Muslims under the UPA government, and condemned religious-based quotas. He cited Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's views, emphasising that reservations should specifically address caste-based discrimination. He commended the Modi government for conducting a national caste census, granting constitutional status to the National BC Commission, and launching initiatives like the PM Vishwakarma Yojana to support caste professions. He also criticised Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for questioning the Prime Minister's identity concerning BC interests. Krishnaiah called on all BC leaders and groups to participate in a Mahadharna at Indira Park on August 2, demanding the implementation of the Kamareddy Declaration and exposing what he claimed were Congress's double standards. Krishnaiah stated that the Congress government lacks sincerity and transparency, asserting that only the BJP is genuinely committed to the empowerment of Backwards Classes.

Trump to make big changes in H1-B visa programme, citizenship test will become...; how difficult is it going to be for Indians?

New Delhi: America's H1-B visa has been an important way for foreigners to get work here and people from all over the world try to get this document, especially Indians who go to great lengths to get an H1-B visa in large numbers. Is Trump administration going to make citizenship test stricter? According to reports, the Trump administration is going to make big changes in the rules for issuing this visa, which can have a direct impact on Indians. The Trump administration is also considering making the citizenship test stricter. Joseph Edlow, the new director of the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), said in an interview to the New York Times that the Trump administration intends to make radical changes in the H-1B visa system for skilled foreign workers. Edlow said that the exam to become an American citizen is very easy and it should be changed. 'I don't think we are really following the spirit of the law right now,' he said. What is the controversy over H-1B Visa Programme? The H-1B visa programme for foreign workers has long been a matter of controversy even within the ruling Republican Party. The Trump administration has talked about major changes in the H-1B visa selection process. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) have also sent a proposal to the White House for the new H-1B visa selection system. How will now H-1B candidates be selected? According to Financial Express, indications from the Trump administration indicate that H-1B candidates will be selected on the basis of skills, experience level and salary. In this, selection will be done on efficiency instead of equal treatment for all. Edlow has said that in this, priority will be given to those corporations who want to pay higher salaries to foreign workers. Does the Trump government want to change US citizenship test? Joseph Edlow, the director of the USCIS, said that the Trump government wants to change the citizenship test required for potential US citizens. Currently, immigrants study 100 questions of civics. To pass this part of the exam, they have to answer six out of 10 questions correctly. Edlow says the government intends to reintroduce a new version of that exam soon.

Tamil Nadu govt. urges Madras HC to exempt ‘Ungaludan Stalin' and ‘Nalam Kaakum Stalin' schemes from prohibitory order

The Tamil Nadu government has approached the Madras High Court urging it to clarify that its interim order prohibiting the use of the name of any living personality in the nomenclature of government schemes would not be applicable to 'Ungaludan Stalin' and 'Nalam Kaakum Stalin' schemes. Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice Sunder Mohan on Thursday (August 3, 2025) accepted a request made by Advocate General P.S. Raman for an early hearing of the modification petition since the Nalam Kaakum Stalin scheme was all set to be launched across the State on Saturday (August 2, 2025). The judges said, the petition, if filed by Friday, would be taken up for hearing on Monday (August 4, 2025). Within a couple of hours, a modification plea was filed by the State government in the High Court Registry along with a detailed affidavit sworn by Public department secretary Reeta Harish Thakkar. The affidavit said the public outreach programme titled 'Ungaludan Stalin' had been in operation for quite sometime now and even the public interest litigation petitioner Shanmugam, in whose case the interim order was passed, had not sought any ex-parte interim order against that scheme. Similarly, a Government Order for the Nalam Kaakum Stalin scheme, aimed at taking healthcare to the doorsteps of the beneficiaries, was issued on June 3, 2025 itself, the Public Secretary said, and contended that only the launch was scheduled to be held on August 2, 2025 by conducting health camps in all districts. Further, stating that the pamphlets, brochures, application forms and other related documents for the scheme had already been printed, Ms. Thakkar said, enormous efforts taken to launch the scheme on Saturday would go waste if the prohibitory interim order was made applicable to it. 'The scheme has been introduced in the name honourable Chief Minister who is a constitutional authority and it cannot be construed to have been introduced in the name of a political personality. Usage of photos of former Chief Ministers is also not expressly prohibited by the Supreme Court,' her affidavit read. Stating that the government was prepared to contest the main PIL petition by filing a detailed counter affidavit, the secretary said: 'The present petition is being filed for the limited purpose of seeking clarification so that the order may not be applicable to the Nalam Kaakum Stalin scheme that is being launched tomorrow.'
