Newly allotted Indiramma houses turn into struggle for survival
HHANAMKONDA : Just days after moving into their new double-bedroom homes, the beneficiaries of 592 newly constructed houses under the Indiramma scheme in the Balasamudram area of Hanamkonda town find themselves grappling with hardships. Upon settling in, residents were dismayed to discover the absence of basic amenities such as electricity, drinking water, and proper drainage systems. With no water connections available, many have been forced to depend on paid water sources and make do with inadequate public toilets nearby. The troubling situation has driven some to resort to illegal power connections from adjacent poles. G Lakshmi, one of the beneficiaries, shared her concerns with TNIE, stating that the lack of facilities has left several families without a safe place to sleep, prompting them to seek refuge at relatives' homes. The situation has also raised safety alarms, as dark corners of the new houses have become a haven for snakes and venomous insects at night, creating a hazardous environment for residents. Appeals for rectification have been directed to Warangal West MLA Naini Rajender Reddy and other local officials, demanding urgent action on the provision of power, water, and drainage connections. Another beneficiary, A Nagalakshmi, expressed her frustration over the inadequate response from the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC), which, despite supplying water through tankers after persistent requests, has yet to address the pressing issue of drainage. This shortfall is particularly burdensome for women, who face significant challenges at night without access to toilets.

Egg consumption drops in Ballari schools during Shravana month
Ballari: In govt schools in the Ballari district, there was a 20% reduction in the free distribution of eggs during the sacred month of Shravana, as many students opted for bananas instead. The practice of avoiding non-vegetarian food items such as eggs, fish, and meat during Shravana is increasingly evident in educational institutions. Kasturi, the district officer of the Midday Meals Scheme, stated, "This trend shows growth each year. In aided schools and anganwadi centres, a considerable number of children and women express a preference for vegetarian food over eggs during this month." "We adjust the menu according to their preferences. However, in certain areas, parents are opposing the distribution of eggs during the Shravana month. We are not pressuring anyone. Instead, we are providing bananas as a substitute for eggs," she explains. The Ballari district comprises 228 govt and one aided primary school, 402 govt and 41 aided higher primary schools, and 90 govt and 34 aided high schools across five taluks.

Farmers protest over urea shortage as queues get lengthier in many districts in Telangana
RAJANNA-SIRCILLA / KARIMNAGAR/ KHAMMAM : Farmers in Chandurthi, Yellareddipet, Illanthakunta, and Konaraopet mandals of Rajanna-Sircilla district, and Huzurabad, Karimnagar district, faced severe difficulties on Monday in procuring urea bags. They complained of spending long hours at fertiliser shops and primary agricultural cooperative societies (PACS), leaving them with little time for paddy transplantation. In Chandurthi, farmers placed their footwear in queues to reserve spots, alleging only one bag was being issued per Aadhaar card. Many said they were visiting shops daily due to the shortage. Long queues are being witnessed from morning to evening for urea bags. BRS leader and Vemulawada in-charge Chalmeda Laxminarsimha Rao alleged that the government lacked proper planning, causing severe inconvenience to farmers, and warned of protests in their support. In Karimnagar district, farmers from about 10 villages visit the local PACS daily but often return empty-handed. Kallepu Hanumantha Rao from Sirnapally said he had been coming for three weeks and still failed to get a urea bag. Farmers demanded that the government supply the required quantity of urea immediately, blaming poor management. Similar protests were also witnessed in Wyra in Khammam. District secretary of the Telangana Raithu Sangham, Bontu Rambabu, on Monday alleged that farmers were facing severe difficulties in getting adequate urea and fertilisers this season. Wyra mandal agricultural officer Manju Khan said there was some urea shortage and the problem is being addressed by redistributing excess stock.
