Garbage mounts in Madurai as sanitary workers' protest continues
Madurai: Around 2,000 sanitary workers continued their protest for the third day in front of the district collectorate on Wednesday. With garbage mounting across the city, Madurai corporation deployed 30 contractual workers in key areas of five zones to clear waste. The protest has been taken up demanding cancellation of GO no. 152 that enables outsourcing of sanitation work. CITU president Bala Subramanian said while the state govt has to cancel the privatisation order, the corporation can address protesters' other demands such as minimum wage requirement of 26,000 and giving out a month's salary as Diwali bonus. "None of the corporation officials came forward for a discussion. So, our protest will continue," he added. Around 1pm on Wednesday, a group of protesters submitted a petition to collector K J Praveen Kumar seeking a separate grievance meeting for sanitary workers in the collector's presence. The collector said such meeting would be introduced and that he assured to intervene on our behalf with the corporation regarding the issues, said Bala Subramanian. Meanwhile, 70 VCK members undertook a protest near Jhansi Rani Park on Wednesday afternoon to extend their support to the sanitary workers.

PIL hearing over ‘Sada Bainamas' adjourned to August 26
The Telangana High Court had adjourned to August 26 the hearing of a PIL petition seeking to declare illegal the GO Ms. No. 112 issued in 2020 facilitating regularisation of 'Sada Bainama' records. A bench of Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G.M. Mohiuddin adjourned the matter with the petitioner's counsel requesting for time to reply over the State government's interim application in the matter. In 2020, Telangana government brought the GO to regularise unregistered land transactions (sale and purchase of lands). Sada Bainama is a system in Telangana where unregistered land transactions are mentioned on plain papers. The PIL plea was filed in 2020 to declare the GO illegal. The HC then passed an order staying operation of the GO. The Advocate General A. Sudarshan Reddy, presenting his submissions, requested the bench to vacate the stay order. He informed the bench that under the new Telangana Bhu Bharati Act-2025, small and marginal farmers (who purchased agricultural land by way of Sada Bainama before June 2, 2014 and possessing the same for more than 12 years) can get their ownership of the lands regularised. The AG requested the bench to vacate the stay order so that the government can process the regularisation requests received from October 12 to November 10 in 2020. The petitioner's counsel sought time to respond on the AG's submissions.

ChatGPT Go India-only AI subscription model at ₹399: 5 big takeaways
OpenAI has just shaken up its subscription game with the launch of ChatGPT Go, and it's debuting in India first. Priced at only ₹399 a month (under $5), this new plan promises 10 times more usage than the free version, without the hefty $20 fee of ChatGPT Plus. Sounds like a steal, right? But it doesn't come without the twists. While Go makes AI more affordable, it comes with notable compromises, from missing models to limited integrations. Is this the start of truly accessible AI or the beginning of more paywalls ahead? ChatGPT Go makes AI cheaper, but is this the start of more paywalls ahead? Only time can tell.(Photo: Adobe Illustrator) Here are five things all GPT users need to know. 1. ChatGPT Go is only available in India for now OpenAI has chosen India as the testing ground for this low-cost tier at just ₹399. According to OpenAI's support page, 'This subscription is initially available in India only. Other countries and regions may be eligible in the future.' ChatGPT Go is significantly cheaper than the ₹1,999 ($23) ChatGPT Plus plan. If the experiment pays off, the same model could expand to bigger markets like the US, UK, and Australia, though likely at slightly higher rates to match regional pricing trends. By starting with India, OpenAI may be testing not just affordability, but also demand. How many users are willing to pay a small fee for expanded AI access without committing to a premium plan? The result could shape OpenAI's global subscription structure in the coming months 2. 10 times more access to everything OpenAI says subscribers get 10 times more usage across the board, from message limits to image generations and even file uploads. Nick Turley, Head of ChatGPT, describes the plan as a way to give users 'more access to the most popular features' without the Plus price tag. Nick Turley, Head of ChatGPT, talks about ChatGPT Go on X.(X) 3. Double the memory The upgrades don't stop at volume. Go subscribers also receive 2x longer memory than free users, meaning the chatbot can recall past conversations with more consistency. For anyone frustrated by ChatGPT's tendency to forget details, this is one of the most valuable improvements. 4. No access to GPT-4o Unlike Plus subscribers, Go users don't get access to GPT-4o, one of the most popular models. Instead, they're locked into GPT-5, the same model that's faced criticism from users who preferred 4o version's performance. While keeping legacy models exclusive to Plus and Pro may make business sense, it risks frustrating budget subscribers who expected more flexibility. By excluding 4o, OpenAI has created a clear divide between entry-level users and those willing to pay for premium tiers. 5. Missing premium tools: No Sora, Gmail ChatGPT Go isn't just missing GPT-4o. Subscribers won't have access to Sora, the company's powerful video-generation model, or Connectors, which let ChatGPT link with apps like Gmail and Google Calendar. While the price makes it attractive, the lack of integrations could be a dealbreaker for users who rely on ChatGPT for productivity and cross-platform workflows.
