Hyderabad: Housing minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy on Friday announced that three more phases of the Indiramma housing scheme will be rolled out to benefit 20 lakh poor families over the next three-and-a-half years.
Speaking at a programme in Peddapalli district, he said that in the first phase, 4.5 lakh houses have already been sanctioned, with 3,500 units allocated per assembly constituency.
Additionally, 10,000 Chenchu families and beneficiaries in ITDA areas have been granted homes over and above the standard quota. Reaffirming the Congress govt's commitment, the minister assured that all 20 lakh houses will not only be sanctioned but also constructed within the current term—unlike the previous BRS govt, which promised 2-BHK units but failed to deliver.
Listing the welfare measures of the govt, Ponguleti said the Congress is also continuing beneficial schemes introduced by the previous regime. He urged people to support Congress in the upcoming local body polls, as they did in the 2023 assembly elections. Highlighting reforms, he said, "We scrapped the Dharani portal and brought in the Bhu Bharati Act, enabling revenue officials to resolve land issues directly in villages.

Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara MANGALURU: Home Minister G Parameshwara chaired a progress review meeting on law and order at the Mangaluru City Police Commissioner's Office on Friday. The meeting was attended by senior officers from Mangaluru City Police and Superintendents of Police (SPs) from four districts under the Western Range: Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Uttara Kannada, and Chikkamagaluru. Various issues were discussed, and officials were given directions to implement strict measures. To fully dismantle the drug network, officers were asked to keep a close watch on the movements of drug peddlers and take legal action wherever necessary. Concerns were raised about the increasing number of traffic rule violations, especially involving minors under the age of 18 driving vehicles, which has led to accidents and fatalities. Authorities were told to conduct awareness campaigns and enforcement drives to tackle this issue. The meeting also addressed crimes against women and children, and atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The Home Minister emphasised that the accused in such cases must not escape justice. Police were instructed to present strong evidence in court to secure convictions and were reminded to treat complainants with empathy and ensure their protection. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo DG & IGP M.A. Saleem, Western Range IGP Amit Singh, Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy C.H., DCP Siddharth Goyal, Dakshina Kannada SP Dr Arun K., Chikkamagaluru SP Dr Vikram Amate, Uttara Kannada SP Narayan, and Udupi SP Hariram Shankar were present.

Bengaluru stampede: Two senior IAS officers under scanner over RCB felicitation mishandling
The Karnataka government is now scrutinising the involvement of two senior IAS officers in the organisation of a felicitation event for IPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on June 4, which preceded a stampede that claimed 11 lives outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Indian Express reported. According to the report, the investigation includes a close look at miscommunications and decisions made by top officials, including the former political secretary to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The Indian Express report also reveals that these officers were instrumental in persuading the Congress-led state government to approve an official state felicitation at the Vidhana Soudha, even as the Bengaluru police had raised red flags over crowd control and security clearances. (Also Read: Bengaluru stampede: IPS body demand revocation of suspension of 5 cops) The felicitation, scheduled for 4 pm on June 4, was followed by a separate fan event organised by the RCB and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) at the stadium, where the stampede occurred. DPAR secretary Sathyavathi G, who oversaw the Vidhana Soudha event after receiving approvals from the chief secretary and CM, had publicly stated that a victory parade would follow the felicitation. This was despite the absence of a police green light for such a parade. Video recordings from her media address on June 4 show her urging fans to skip the Vidhana Soudha event due to security sensitivities and instead attend the stadium celebration. However, the report also suggests that her public remarks contradicted a meeting held earlier that day, where the city police commissioner reportedly objected to the parade. Police have since filed criminal complaints against RCB, KSCA, and event manager DNA Networks, alleging that social media messages promoting an open-access parade were shared without police clearance as early as 7 am on June 4, contributing to crowd chaos at the stadium. The role of K Govindaraju, the CM's former political secretary and a seasoned sports administrator, is also under scrutiny. Reports say he was pivotal in pushing through approvals for the celebrations. Following the tragedy, he was dismissed from his post on June 6, the report further added. Three senior IPS officers, including Police Commissioner B Dayananda, were suspended on June 5 for failing to keep the CM informed of unfolding developments, including the fatalities.
