No construction till GHMC nod: Telangana high court to Jubilee Hills Club

Hyderabad: The Telangana high court on Thursday directed the Jubilee Hills International Centre (popularly known as Jubilee Hills Club) to stop all ongoing construction at their premises till it gets building permission from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (
GHMC
).
Justice B Vijaysen Reddy gave the interim direction while hearing a petition filed by P Venugopal and N Srinivas of Jubilee Hills questioning the inaction of GHMC despite bringing to their notice the unauthorised construction at the club in survey no. 403/1, Road No.14, Jubilee Hills.
Senior counsel V Ravi Kiran Rao, appearing for the petitioners, said the club was building a huge banquet hall without permission from GHMC or no-objection certificate (NOC) from fire authorities.
"The club management is not responding to the notices of the GHMC officials and authorities are not taking up the issue with the required seriousness," he said.
GHMC counsel Midde Arun Kumar informed the court that they had issued a show cause notice which did not yield any response. He said that the deputy commissioner then passed a speaking order directing the club to demolish the unauthorised structure on its own or face the consequences.
"Now, the club management has applied for a building permission and officials are examining the record," he said.
Ravi Kiran said this was proof of the audacity of the club management which applied for permission only after they were left with no option and, hence, the GHMC should not process their current application.
"Otherwise, they will never follow the law," he said.
Advocate on record A Raghuram said the governing council of the club was going to the extent of harassing the petitioners with FIRs for playing the role of a whistleblower and alerting authorities about the illegal structure without setbacks, parking space and fire safety measures.
The judge adjourned the case to July 10.

Rain damages houses in Dharwad district, relief work continues

Labour and district minister Santosh Lad confirmed that compensation is being distributed and relief work is ongoing. He advised the public to remain vigilant and follow govt safety guidelines. During his inspection of rain-affected areas in Kundagol taluk on Friday, Lad mentioned a fatal incident wherein a man named Shivayya lost his life when a tractor overturned in the Katti Halla. Two others were injured and are receiving medical care. The govt allocated Rs 5 lakh compensation for the family of the deceased. The minister highlighted the dangerous conditions in Dharwad district, with streams in full spate. He cautioned against crossing streams and bridges with any vehicles until water levels subside. Regarding infrastructure, he mentioned plans to construct the Katti Halla bridge, noting its significance to the area. The minister addressed issues with canal flooding, particularly in Bennihalla and Tupparihalla, affecting local farmers.

TTD condemns Hyd based devotee's malicious propaganda over quality of Laddu
Tirupati: The world famous "Tirupati laddu" is once again in the news following a series of accusations levelled by a Hyderabad-based devotee on the quality of the prasadam. Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams has condemned the devotee's accusations and clarified that while it was true that the devotee identified as Naveen Kumar sustained an injury in his mouth when he tried to savour the sacred prasadam, but it was not because of the poor quality of the laddu. Naveen Kumar alleged in a video which has gone viral on various social media platforms that he sustained an injury in his mouth after he consumed the laddu prasadam after completing his darshan of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala on June 8. "On June 8 after TTD came to know about the incident and Naveen Kumar was rushed to TTD run Aswini and SVIMS hospitals and various medical tests were carried out and treatment was provided to him. The medical tests confirmed that Naveen Kumar sustained an injury as he bit his tongue while trying to eat the laddu. Hence it is clear that the injury caused to the devotee was not because of the poor quality of the prasadam", a TTD official clarified. The TTD authorities said the pilgrim has resorted to a malicious misinformation propaganda over the issue by levelling allegations over the quality of laddu with a sole intention of extorting a compensation from the Tirupati trust. "Since none of his allegations is true and since he has resorted to a false propaganda against the laddu prasadam, which has hurt the sentiments of the devotees worldwide, appropriate legal action will be initiated against Naveen Kumar for trying to mislead the public with his false propaganda", TTD authorities added.
