Telangana Formation Day Celebrated with Patriotic Fervor by NHPS in Gadwal; Chairman Ranjith Kumar Pays Tribute to Martyrs, Criticizes Leadership Failures
Gadwal: The Telangana Formation Day celebrations were held with great fervor at the Nadigadda Rights Struggle Committee (NHPS) District Office on June 2. The event began with the district chairman of NHPS, Gongalla Ranjith Kumar, garlanding the portraits of Professor Jayashankar and Mucherla Satyanarayana — two iconic figures in the Telangana movement — followed by the hoisting of the national flag. Ranjith Kumar extended warm wishes to the people of Telangana and Jogulamba Gadwal district on the occasion of the state's 10th formation anniversary.
Tribute to Martyrs of Telangana Movement
Speaking on the occasion, Chairman Ranjith Kumar reflected on the long and emotional journey of the Telangana statehood movement. He said that the formation of Telangana on June 2, 2014, was the result of sacrifices made by more than 1,200 martyrs who laid down their lives during various phases of the struggle, starting from as early as 1969. He paid homage to Professor K. Jayashankar, a visionary and ideological pillar of the Telangana movement, and Sangam Reddy Satyanarayana, also known as Mucherla Satyanarayana, a poet-warrior and former minister in undivided Andhra Pradesh, who relentlessly advocated for Telangana's self-respect and statehood.
Criticism of Current Political Leadership
Ranjith Kumar criticized both the previous and current governments for failing to fulfill the promises made to the people during the statehood agitation. He alleged that the local MLA, who defected to the ruling party in the name of development, has neglected core issues in the constituency. He pointed out the lack of progress in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, which continues to create hardships for common people. Ranjith Kumar stated that the local MLA had completely failed to resolve people's problems and deliver the promised welfare schemes.
NHPS Vows to Fight for Public Issues
He reaffirmed that the Nadigadda Rights Struggle Committee (NHPS) would continue to fight for the rights of the people, particularly in sectors like education, healthcare, and local development. He promised that the committee would raise awareness among villagers in every mandal and hold the authorities accountable for public grievances.

Sweets distributed on Telangana Formation Day suspected to be cause of food poisoning at IMH Erragadda
Sweets distributed to inmates at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), Erragadda, as part of Telangana Formation Day celebrations on Monday (June 2, 2025) are suspected to have caused a major food poisoning incident that left 92 people ill, and one dead. The Non-DC ward of the hospital, where the sweets were served, reported a sudden spike in complaints of nausea, vomiting, and uneasiness shortly after 6 p.m on June 2. As of Wednesday (June 4), 74 patients remained under observation at IMH, while 18 were shifted to Osmania General Hospital for further care. Hospital officials said they are in a stable condition. On Wednesday morning, the hospital premises slowly returned to routine as doctors resumed duties and patients' attendants waited anxiously. Meanwhile, senior health officials, including Director of Medical Education A. Narendra Kumar and Telangana Vaidya Vidhana Parishad Commissioner Ajaya Kumar, visited the hospital for a detailed review and held a brief meeting with hospital superintendent Anitha Rayirala before inspecting the affected ward. Health Minister C. Damodar Raja Narasimha, who arrived at IMH to take stock of the situation, told reporters that preliminary findings suggest the sweets distributed on the occasion could be the cause. 'Initial reports indicate that the water supply is largely safe. There is a strong possibility that this was a case of food poisoning due to the sweets. We have terminated the diet contractor's services as a precautionary measure,' he said. Samples of the food and water have been collected for laboratory analysis. An internal inquiry is underway, and a detailed report is expected in the coming days, the minister said.
