Celebrate the ‘Year of good governance' on June 4: Pawan Kalyan
Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh is set to celebrate a significant milestone on June 4, marking one year since the ousting of the YSRCP regime and the establishment of the coalition government. This period, dubbed by the ruling alliance as a year of 'Good governance' and 'Relief from a nightmare,' will be commemorated with festivities reminiscent of Sankranti and Diwali.
Jana Sena Party supremo Pawan Kalyan has called upon party leaders, Veer Mahilas (women's wing), and cadres to celebrate this auspicious occasion. The party's central office has issued directives for widespread digital campaigns across social media platforms to promote the celebrations.
On the morning of June 4 under the theme, 'A year since good governance began,' party members are encouraged to adorn their doorways with traditional Rangoli designs. Rangoli competitions for women will also be organised.
In the evening, to signify 'A year since the nightmare ended,' participants are urged to light lamps and set off firecrackers, much like Diwali. Visuals of these celebrations are to be posted on social media, clearly communicated to all cadres.
The NDA government, formed under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Centre and Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan in the State, is now completing its first year of what it terms as 'Good governance.'
This upcoming celebration aims to highlight this transition and the positive changes experienced by the people of Andhra Pradesh.

Totapuri mango price drop worries farmers
Tirupati: Mango farmers in Chittoor and Tirupati districts are in distress as the onset of early monsoon, coupled with the middlemen syndicate's greed, has crashed the prices of Totapuri variety to an all-time low of 4,000 a ton, down from last year's high of 18,000 to 30,000 a ton. The erstwhile combined Chittoor district is referred to as the mango capital of the country as the fruit is extensively grown in an extent of approximately 2.87 lakh acres here. Totapuri is one of the widely grown mango varieties in Chittoor and Tirupati districts and account for nearly 90% of the overall mango farming in the region. Table varieties like Benisha, Sindoora, Alphonsa, Khadar and other varieties are grown in the remaining 10% of farmlands. While table varieties are sold in open markets, Totapuri variety is exclusively supplied to 60 odd mango pulp units in the districts. With an average annual output of close to 7.5 lakh tonnes, Chittoor registers an impressive turnover of 1,000 plus crore in mango sales annually, with the pride mangoes from the district exported to several countries. But unfortunately, though the district received bountiful timely rains leading to a desired mango yield this year, farmers who grew the Totapuri variety are in distress as the middlemen and pulp owners' syndicate haven't even opened the market even though the mango season for the year is drawing to a close. Giridhar Reddy, a trader at Damalacheruvu Mango Nagar market, said while representatives of pulp industries approach farmers for Totapuri variety as early as April every year, this year they have stayed away though June has set in and the mango season will end soon. The early onset of monsoon has further worsened their woes, forcing farmers to pluck the fruits early, leading to a scenario of oversupply in the mango markets. Mango farmers from the region said when YSRCP govt was in power, TDP leaders promised to end the syndicate's reign over mango markets and assured farmers of remunerative prices for their yield once the party returned to power in the state. "Unfortunately, while farmers who grew Totapuri last year earned anywhere between 18,000 and 30,000 per ton, this year the prices have crashed to 4,000 a ton, resulting in huge losses. The state govt has not even held meetings to fix a minimum support price for the mango yield," rued Kesavulu, a mango farmer from Puttur mandal.

Delhi Confidential: Flood & Fury
AT A time when the northeastern region is reeling under floods, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha seems to have upset some state BJP leaders with his actions. On Tuesday, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to the CMs of NE states about the flood situation, Saha was in Bihar to attend a felicitation programme. Later, he also posted a photo on social media of him meeting singer Kumar Sanu, and wrote: 'An absolute delight to interact with a music icon who has brought joy to millions through his soulful voice.' This prompted some party leaders to question why Saha did not cancel his trip to Patna when the northeastern region was facing a crisis. Missed At Home Shivraj Singh Chouhan has been frequently traveling outside the Capital since taking charge as Union Agriculture Minister. Many of his visits have been to his home state, Madhya Pradesh, where he was the CM for four terms between 2005 and 2023. Hence, his absence was notable at a major event in Bhopal on Saturday—the launch of various projects during the Devi Ahilyabai Mahila Sashaktikaran Mahasammelan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the gathering, which was attended by several BJP leaders, including Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, while Union Ministers Tokhan Sahu, Ram Mohan Naidu and Muralidhar Mohol participated via videoconferencing. Chouhan was in Haryana that day, attending the Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan organised by his ministry. His absence at the Bhopal event surprised many given his legacy of launching several women-focused initiatives such as the Ladli Laxmi Yojana, which earned him the moniker 'mama (maternal uncle)'. Crowd Concern The Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust is organising a grand event for the second pran pratishtha of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has been invited as the chief guest for the consecration ceremony on June 5. However, the organisers are wary of too many people converging in the holy city for the event. In the backdrop of the Maha Kumbh stampede that left many dead, VHP leader and Trust chairman Champat Rai on Tuesday urged people not to come to the temple in large numbers on the day. He said even the guest list is not very elaborate due to difficulties in making arrangements.

Environment day: PM Modi to launch Aravalli Green Project tomorrow
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the Centre's Aravalli Green Wall project, on June 5 to mark World Environment Day, to combat desertification and restore degraded land across four states, Environment Ministry sources said Tuesday. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will join the PM for planting a tree in Delhi's ridge area, the sources said. The Chief Ministers of Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat will also plant trees in their respective states, sources said. The land restoration project was initially launched in 2023, and the Ministry launched a detailed action plan for the project recently. While the land restoration project was initially launched in 2023, a detailed action plan for the project was launched recently. The project, pegged at `16,053 crore, aims to create a buffer zone of 5 km around the mountain range, covering 6.45 million hectares. Ministry sources said the project would also contribute in meeting India's key climate goals of creating an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent through improving tree and forest cover. India has also committed to restoring 26 million hectares of degraded land by 2030. Extending from southwest Gujarat in Champaner to northeast Delhi and Haryana, the 700-km long Aravalli mountain range acts as a natural barrier against incursion of sand and dust from the Thar desert. It supports rivers such as Luni, Banas, Sabarmati among others, as well as keystone wildlife such as tiger, bears, wolves and leopards. However, the range is facing widespread degradation due to deforestation, mining, urbanisation, agriculture practices and development.
