Derive benefit from MNREGS, farm labour told
The Collector has inspected the ongoing Canal Silt Removal Works (CSRW) being conducted under MNREGS at Nagula Devi Gunta village of Alluru mandal on Tuesday.
On this occasion, the Collector interacted with the farm labour over the problems like delay in payment of wages, facing discrimination related to allocation of works and any other issues.
While describing MNREGS as a boon for poor in the villages, the Collector said that farm labour need not worry over daily breadwinning as they would have handful work if they use this scheme in a proper manner.
The Collector suggested to the labour who were supposed to attend MNREGS works, to secure Aadhaar Card as it will be mandatory as per the guidelines.
Later, the Collector inspected the Divakar Reddy Housing Layout being established in 12 acres of land in the village and enquired about the infrastructure facilities.
On the occasion, beneficiaries told the Collector that due to lack of drinking water facility, they did not enter the houses despite the structures completed long ago.
Responding to their plea, the Collector ordered the officials to take steps for providing drinking water at once.
Subsequently, the Collector made a surprise visit at the BC Welfare hostel in Allur mandal and enquired with the students over the facilities being provided to them and had lunch along with inmates.
Kavali RDO Vamsi Krishna, Alluru MRO Lakshmi Narayana, MDO Rajinikanth and others were present.

Padayatra inspired by Bharat Jodo yatra: Mahesh Goud
Hyderabad Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president Mahesh Kumar Goud began his 'Janahita padayatra' from Parigi on Thursday. 'Congress has always been known for meeting people directly,' he said citing the Bharat Jodo yatra led by Rahul Gandhi earlier. 'We walk to understand people, not for media headlines,' he said, making it clear that the padayatra was in accordance with All India Congress Committee (AICC) directives, intending to gather feedback on existing welfare schemes and understand what more people desire. Mr. Goud claimed that the Congress government, despite inheriting a debt-ridden State from the previous BRS regime, was successfully managing both welfare and development. Targeting BRS, he said that former CM K. Chandrasekhar Rao buried Telangana under debt, and Congress was now forced to pay huge interest on loans, with no substantial development seen with the borrowed money. Thanks to the initiatives of the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government, investments worth ₹1.80 lakh crore have come to the State, he said. Highlighting the key achievements since the Congress took charge, he referred to 65,000 jobs filled and 35,000 more to be announced soon, Indiramma houses, free bus travel for women, and fine rice through ration shops. BC quota Hitting out at BJP and BRS, Mr. Goud questioned their sincerity on BC reservations. 'BJP leaders make grand declarations about supporting 42% BC reservation, but don't join the government's protests in Delhi on August 5, 6, and 7, to fight for legal recognition.' Mr. Goud added that BRS MLC K. Kavitha has nothing to do with BC reservations and asked where was her committment when BRS was in power. AICC in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan said that Congress was dedicated to Ambedkar and Phule's vision of social justice. 'Rahul Gandhi's padayatra was never about politics. It was about listening to the people. Our government in Telangana acted immediately on Rahul's advice,' she said, and appealed to all the progressive forces to join the fight for BC rights in Delhi and make it a national priority. Ministers D. Sridhar Babu, Konda Surekha and Parigi MLA T. Rammohan Reddy also joined him.

Congress MPs to move adjournment motion in both Houses of Parliament over Telangana BC reservation bills
HYDERABAD: The Telangana Congress, under Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's leadership, has prepared an ambitious plan to take up the BC quota movement at the national level. The grand old party has already announced a three-day programme of protests in Delhi from August 5. On the first day, Congress MPs will move an adjournment motion in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, demanding inclusion of the two Bills sent by Telangana Assembly after assent by the Governor for inclusion in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution. They are meant to provide 42 per cent reservation to BCs in local bodies as well as education and employment. The agitation programme was finalised at a recent Cabinet meeting with the chief minister set to lead the entire Cabinet, and MLAs and MPs from the state to Delhi. A key highlight of the visit will be a dharna to be staged at Jantar Mantar on August 6. AICC state in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan and TPCC president Bomma Mahesh Kumar Goud met with Revanth Reddy on Wednesday to discuss the agitation programme, including the 'Janahita Padayatra', which she proposed to take out in Assembly segments in Telangana from July 31. During the meeting, they decided to coordinate with the AICC for moving the adjournment motion on August 5, focusing on BC issues and reservation enhancement in Telangana. It has also been decided to mobilise support by arranging special trains for BC community members from Telangana to Delhi from August 5 to 7, with the TPCC aiming to mobilise 50 representatives from each district. This apart, the meeting also discussed the 'Janahita Padayatra' programme, which will be led by Mahesh Goud, with Meenakshi Natarajan participating as the chief guest. The first phase of the padayatra is set to commence on July 31 and conclude on August 4.

If Aadhaar, PAN, ration card not considered proof of citizenship, what documents are accepted as valid? Check list of 11 such IDs that are enough to prove you are Indian
File/Representational Ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar, a detailed review of the voter list has raised serious questions about people's citizenship. Similar checks are also happening in Delhi-NCR, where police and government agencies are verifying the citizenship of suspicious individuals. During this process, even many well-settled residents are struggling to prove their citizenship. Documents not accepted as proof of citizenship The Election Commission has made it clear that some commonly used documents like: Aadhaar card, ration card and voter ID card do not count as proof of citizenship. This means people cannot use these documents to get their names added to the new voter list in Bihar. These rules also apply in other states. People in remote areas facing the most trouble Because of these new rules, many people living in rural and remote areas of Bihar are finding it very difficult to register themselves in the new voter list. This has created confusion and added stress for those trying to prove they are Indian citizens. The Election Commission has launched a special review drive in Bihar to update the voter list, but the process has now led to confusion and political tension. The issue: proving citizenship. The Election Commission has listed 11 specific documents that are accepted as proof of citizenship during this review. These 11 documents are accepted as proof of citizenship: ID or pension papers issued to regular employees or pensioners of the central/state government or public sector companies. Any official ID or certificate issued by government or public institutions before 1 July 1987. Birth certificate issued by a competent authority. Passport Educational certificates issued by a recognised board or university (like matriculation certificates). Permanent residence certificate issued by a state authority. Forest rights certificate Caste certificates (OBC/SC/ST) issued by an authorised official. National Register of Citizens (NRC) – where applicable. Family register made by local or state authorities. Land or house allotment certificate issued by the government. Political reactions Opposition parties in Bihar have strongly criticized the move, saying it is being used to target and harass people ahead of the elections. They claim the process is unfair and causes unnecessary stress, especially for poor and uneducated citizens. What documents are needed to get an Aadhaar Card? Passport PAN Card Voter ID Card Driving Licence Ration Card / PDS Photo Card Photo ID issued by Government or Public Sector Unit (PSU) Aadhaar is not a proof of citizenship It might seem surprising, but the documents that are accepted to prove someone's citizenship in India like a passport, birth certificate, or matriculation certificate are actually the same documents used to get an Aadhaar card. Yet, Aadhaar itself is not accepted as proof of citizenship. Even though the Aadhaar card holds a person's personal information and biometric details like fingerprints and retina scans, it still isn't legally considered proof that someone is an Indian citizen. The government agency that issues Aadhaar UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) has clearly stated that Aadhaar is only meant to verify identity, not nationality. Once someone has an Aadhaar card, they can use it to digitally verify their identity for things like opening a bank account or getting a driving licence, without having to show their identity documents every time.
