Tirupati to host national conference on women's empowerment on September 14
At a preparatory meet held in the city on Wednesday, Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly Speaker Chintakayala Ayyanna Patrudu and the Deputy Speaker R. Raghu Ramakrishna Raju called it a rare privilege for the State, and more particularly Tirupati, to play host to the event.
The members of the panel will discuss the issues pertaining to women legislators and parliamentarians. The recommendations will later be sent to the respective Speakers as well as the government. It may be recalled that Mumbai had recently hosted the nationwide meeting of the members of Parliamentary Committee on Estimates and the Committee on SC/ST Welfare.
'The parliamentarians and legislators attending the meeting will be taken on a tour to Srikalahasti, Sri City and Sriharikota', Mr. Patrudu said.
Meanwhile, Mr. Raju said that apart from the 31 members of the parliamentary panel, six panel members from each of the 31 State Legislative Assemblies would attend the meet.
Minister for Revenue, Registration and Stamps Anagani Satya Prasad, who is also the district in-charge Minister, offered to make all arrangements ahead of the prestigious event and asked the Collector S. Venkateswar to leave no stone unturned for the successful conduct of the two-day meeting.
MLAs Arani Srinivasulu (Tirupati), Bojjala Sudhir Reddy (Srikalahasti), Nelavala Vijayasri (Sullurpeta), trainee Collector Sandeep Raghuvanshi, District Revenue Officer M. Narasimhulu and Gudur Sub-Collector Raghavendra Meena were among the participants.

Uttarakhand's Tripti Rejected 16 Govt Jobs, Cleared UPSC In 1st Attempt To Become IPS
Last Updated: Tripti Bhatt, an IPS officer from Uttarakhand, rejected 16 govt job offers, including ISRO, to follow her dream of serving the nation—cracking UPSC in her first attempt. In pursuit of her dream to serve the nation, Tripti Bhatt, a determined officer from Uttarakhand, gave up 16 government job offers, including one from ISRO, to become an IPS officer. Today, she serves as SP Intelligence and Security in Dehradun, standing as a symbol of resilience and commitment. Hailing from Almora, Tripti grew up in a middle-class family with a teaching background. The eldest of four siblings, she studied at Beersheba Senior Secondary School and Kendriya Vidyalaya, before graduating in engineering from Pantnagar University. Early in her career, she worked as an Assistant Manager at NTPC, but her real ambition lay elsewhere. Tripti's turning point came in Class 9 when she met former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, who handed her a handwritten letter. The moment, she recalls, ignited her lifelong mission to serve India. Despite offers from top institutions like ISRO, she remained focused on the Civil Services. In 2013, she cracked the UPSC CSE in her first attempt, securing an All India Rank of 165 and choosing IPS. She was allotted her home cadre and began her police career as SP Dehradun. She later served as SP Chamoli and Commander of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) in Tehri Garhwal, where she led critical rescue operations during disasters. An officer with many talents, Tripti has won gold in marathon races and state-level badminton competitions. She is also trained in Taekwondo and Karate, pursuits that reflect her discipline and strength. On social media, Tripti often shares glimpses of her work. In 2022, during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Almora, she posted a photo with the caption: 'Was on uniformed duty at my home district for the first time in all these years of service.. and the feeling was a special one." Her journey from a small town in Uttarakhand to one of the state's top police posts is not just a story of civil service success; it is an inspiring blueprint for perseverance, courage, and national service. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Andhra Speaker seeks probe into land grabbing
VISAKHAPATNAM: Legislative Assembly Speaker Chintakayala Ayyanna Patrudu has written to Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad, seeking a thorough inquiry into alleged irregularities in land dealings involving properties belonging to ex-servicemen in Visakhapatnam district. The letter refers to a news article in a vernacular, which quoted Visakhapatnam JSP Corporator Peethala Murthy Yadav accusing some leaders and officials of issuing No Objection Certificates (NOCs) irregularly. In his letter, Ayyanna mentioned that Murthy Yadav alleged that land grabbing by leaders affiliated with the previous YSRCP government was continuing under the current regime, with the alleged support of certain revenue officials and IAS officers. Ayyanna expressed concern over being named in the video, where Yadav claimed that a land parcel in Survey No. 14-1 of Visakhapatnam Rural mandal, Endada-2, covering 5 acres and 10 cents, was issued an NOC allegedly with the help of YSRCP leaders. Denying any involvement, Patrudu said the allegations were baseless and intended to damage his reputation. He noted that land issues in Visakhapatnam have persisted for years due to rising land values and called for urgent measures to protect the interests of genuine landholders. Recalling that the previous TDP government had constituted a Special Enquiry Committee to address similar concerns, he emphasised that land encroachments still affect many citizens. In his letter, the Speaker urged the revenue minister to order an investigation into the specific case of Survey No. 14-1 and submit the findings before the start of the next Assembly session. He also recommended that the Revenue Department prepare proposals to strengthen mechanisms that prevent misuse of power for land acquisition. He suggested the government consider amending relevant laws and policies.
