Rs 47 crore Vemulawada road-widening project in Telangana finally underway
It may be recalled that the government had sanctioned Rs 47 crore for the road widening project. Compensation and cheque distribution for oustees is currently underway.
A major round of demolitions is scheduled from 6 am onwards on Monday. The district administration and police have stepped up monitoring to ensure smooth execution. District Collector Sandeep Kumar Jha cancelled the weekly Prajavani grievance redressal programme for Monday and convened a special meeting with R&B, municipal, engineering and revenue officials. He appealed to people not to visit the collectorate to submit petitions.
Meanwhile, Superintendent of Police Gite Mahesh Babasaheb also held a separate meeting with senior police officials to prevent any law and order issues. Around 200 personnel are expected to be deployed at the demolition site.
Following eviction notices, several business establishments and residents have vacated the area voluntarily.
To maintain order, police have imposed prohibitory orders, restricting public assembly within 100 metres of the demolition zone until the work is completed. Section 163(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (formerly Section 144 CrPC) has also been enforced.

Ex gratia of ₹2 lakh for J&K flood victims' family, ₹1 lakh for injured
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday announced ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh to the kin of the deceased and Rs 1 lakh to the severely injured people in the flash flood triggered by a cloud burst in Kishtwar. The Jammu and Kashmir Government will also provide financial assistance of Rs 50,000 to the people who suffered minor injuries. The government will provide Rs 1 lakh for fully damaged structures, Rs 50,000 for severely damaged structures and Rs 25,000 for partially damaged structures from the CM's Relief Fund. The announcement came after CM Omar Abdullah visited the cloudburst-affected areas of Kishtwar today and met affected families. In a post on X, JK CMO said, "Chief Minister visited the cloudburst-affected areas of Kishtwar today and met affected families. He expressed deep sorrow over the loss of lives and damage and said the Government stands firmly with the people in this hour of grief. As a mark of solidarity and immediate succor, Chief Minister announced ex-gratia relief from the CM's Relief Fund: Rs 2 lakh for each deceased. Rs 1 lakh for severely injured, Rs 50,000 for minor injuries. Rs 1 lakh for fully damaged structures. Rs 50,000 for severely damaged structures. Rs 25,000 for partially damaged structures. Instructions were also issued for immediate restoration of the affected infrastructure in the area." Earlier in the day, J-K CM met with the families affected by the flash flood due to a cloud burst in Chasoti village of Kishtwar district. CM Abdullah also reviewed the ongoing relief and rescue operations and received a detailed briefing from Army personnel. He used a Virtual Reality (VR) headset to review the destruction and said immediate relief measures would be taken to support affected families. The cloudburst, which occurred along the Machail Mata Yatra route, triggered flash floods and widespread destruction on Thursday, killing at least 60 people. On Friday, Abdullah confirmed the deaths and said that the number of missing people was still being verified. "Around 60 bodies have been found. The number of missing persons is being assessed. After the rescue and relief operation concludes, we will inquire whether the Administration could have taken any preventive steps when the Met Department had issued a warning and also advised people not to venture out if not needed. The rescue operation by the Army, NDRF, SDRF, Police, and Administration is underway. Workers of different political parties are also working on the ground," Omar Abdullah told reporters.

Thane MACT awards Rs 20.49 lakh to family of pedestrian killed in 2013 accident
THANE: The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) in Thane has directed the owner of a container truck and its insurer to pay Rs 20.49 lakh as compensation to the family of a 35-year-old labourer who died after being run over in Bhiwandi in December 2013. Presiding officer R.V Mohite held that the accident occurred due to the rash and negligent driving of the container by its driver. According to the petition, on the night of December 8, 2013, the labourer was walking along the left side of the road near Oswal Tower, Anjur Phata, when the speeding container veered onto the side road and hit him. The vehicle's tyre ran over his leg, causing grievous injuries. He was rushed to Sion Hospital but succumbed to his injuries on December 14. The Narpoli police registered a case of rash driving and causing death by negligence against the driver. The tribunal rejected the defence that the vehicle and driver were falsely implicated, noting documentary evidence including salary vouchers and emails linking the driver to the vehicle at the time. Assessing his monthly income at Rs 9,000 and applying the multiplier method as per Supreme Court guidelines, the tribunal calculated the loss of future earnings at Rs 12.96 lakh, with an additional Rs 5.18 lakh towards future prospects. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mystical Forest Vase: Hot Sale topgadgetlife Shop Now Undo It also awarded amounts under heads such as loss of consortium, loss of estate, funeral expenses, and love and affection.

Clicked Link To Order Milk, Lost Rs 18.5 Lakh: Mumbai Woman Duped In Cyber Fraud
Investigators believe the fraudster gained remote access to the woman's phone once she clicked on the malicious link A 71-year-old woman in Mumbai was allegedly duped of Rs 18.5 lakh from her bank accounts while trying to place an online order for a litre of milk, police said on Saturday. The woman, a resident of Wadala, reportedly lost her entire savings within two days earlier this month after falling victim to an online fraud, an officer said. According to the complaint, on August 4, she received a call from a man who introduced himself as 'Deepak," claiming to be an executive of a milk company. He sent her a link on her phone and instructed her to fill in her details to complete the order. 'She was asked to click on the link while staying on the call and follow instructions. The call lasted for over an hour before she hung up," the official said. The following day, the same caller allegedly contacted her again and extracted additional information. Days later, during a visit to her bank, the woman discovered that Rs 1.7 lakh had been withdrawn from one of her accounts. On checking her other two accounts, she found they too had been wiped out. In total, Rs 18.5 lakh was siphoned off. Investigators believe the fraudster gained remote access to the woman's phone once she clicked on the malicious link. A case has been registered and further investigation is underway, the police said. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
