Indiramma housing scheme delayed in Sircilla: Ponguleti
Hyderabad: State Housing and Information and Public Relations Minister P Srinivasa Reddy said that the implementation of the Indiramma housing scheme was delayed in Sircilla Assembly Constituency as the BRS leader and local MLA KT Rama Rao has not submitted a list of beneficiaries to the officials.
The government has brought a new norm giving opposition MLAs to select 40 per cent of the beneficiaries of Indiramma houses and forward the list to the Housing department. The Minister said that KTR defied the orders and as a result, the official process in the selection of the beneficiaries did not take place. After coming to know, the local authorities have been asked to select the names and finalise them immediately.
Stating that 2.10 lakh beneficiaries have been identified across the State till the date, Srinivasa Reddy also took strong exception to the KTR's repeated comments against him saying that ED raided his houses with currency counting machines. He said that no raid was conducted by the central agency in his house.
Srinivasa Reddy said that all the beneficiaries list will be finalised by June 10. Under the pilot project, he said that 42,000 houses were sanctioned and the construction of 20,000 houses was already started.
100 houses are ready for house warming this month. In the ITDA (Integrated Tribal Development Authority) limits, the government sanctioned 9,200 houses for Chenchu tribes. Four storey buildings will be constructed in Hyderabad, Warangal, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Mahbubnagar and Nalgonda municipal corporations in view of lack of availability of government land to build independent houses for the beneficiaries.

Supreme Court quashes cognisance in ED case against Rathi Steel & Its
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel New Delhi: The Supreme Court has set aside the cognisance of a prosecution complaint (equivalent to a chargesheet) taken by a lower court in a money laundering trial involving M/s Rathi Steel and its top executive, who were booked by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a coal allocation case.A division bench comprising Justices AS Oka (who retired last month) and Ujjal Bhuyan set aside the cognisance order dated November 20, 2024, solely on the ground of "non-compliance" with new provisions under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). These provisions require trial courts to issue a show-cause notice to an accused before summoning them to face that it had not expressed any opinion on the merits of the ED's complaint, the bench directed executive Kushal Kumar Agarwal to appear before the trial court on July 14, "so that he can be given an opportunity of being heard in terms of the proviso to sub-section (1) of Section 223 of the BNSS." The order also stated, "We make it clear that no further notice shall be issued by the Special (trial) Court to the appellant (Agarwal)."Section 223 of the BNSS applies specifically to "complaints" and not to cases investigated by the police or the CBI. Advocate Vijay Aggarwal, representing the petitioners, argued that under Section 223, accused persons are entitled to be heard before being summoned by the trial court. He emphasized that this section stipulates that "no cognisance of an offence shall be taken by the magistrate without giving the accused an opportunity of being heard."In response, ED's counsel argued that under the new BNSS provision, the hearing granted to the accused is limited to determining whether a case is made out to proceed based solely on the complaint and its accompanying ED further contended that cognisance is taken of the offence-not the offender. Thus, once cognisance is taken, it need not be taken again when supplementary or further complaints are filed. "Therefore, at that stage, there will be no occasion to give the accused the opportunity to be heard," the ED's counsel these arguments, the Supreme Court stated in its order that the ED's submissions "need not be considered, as the same do not arise in this appeal at this stage." However, it added, "We make it clear that the said contentions are expressly kept open and can be raised before the Special Court."

KCR Family Differences Cast Long Shadow On Telangana Foundation Day
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. June 2 marks Telangana Formation Day, but this year, K Chandrasekhar Rao is absent from the celebrations as party leaders prepare for a probe into the Kaleshwaram project. Protests against the inquiry are planned. Hyderabad: June 2 is a red-letter day in the history of India's youngest state -- the day has been observed as Telangana Formation Day for over a decade. Yet this year, no one from the state's first family - the family of K Chandrasekhar Rao who spearheaded the statehood movement -- will be at the party celebrations in Hyderabad to mark the occasion. K Kavitha, daughter of the former Chief Minister, who has been in an openly rebellious mood, will hoist a Telangana Jagruti flag and the national flag in the morning. The function will take place at the newly opened office of what has so far been called the cultural wing of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi. The party's working president and Ms Kavitha's brother KT Rama Rao is away on a tour to the UK and US. He is expected to participate in the party's silver jubilee celebrations in Dallas, organised by its NRI wing. There has been no news of party president, K Chandrasekhar Rao, participating in any public event. At the party headquarters, BRS leader Madhusudana Chary is expected to hoist the flag. Reports said Harish Rao -- the former irrigation minister and nephew of Mr Rao, will give a powerpoint presentation on the Kaleshwaram project. On June 5, the former Chief Minister is expected to appear before the PC Ghosh committee that is probing the alleged irregularities in the planning, execution and operation of the Kaleshwaram project. Harish Rao has been summoned to appear before the committee the next day. Ms Kavitha has been sharply critical that the BRS has not planned any protest against the former Chief Minister being summoned by the probe panel. She has announced that Telangana Jagruti will hold a protest on June 4 and vowed that they will not allow any insult to the BRS president, claiming that the BRS and Telangana Jagruti are like the two eyes of KCR. Both Madhusudana Chary and Harish Rao have criticised the Congress for allegedly "spreading canards" about the BRS. Harish Rao has denied the allegation made by Telangana Pradesh Congress chief Mahesh Goud that he had met BJP MP Etala Rajender, who, incidentally, was earlier with the BRS and has also been summoned to appear before the PC Ghosh committee on June 9.

Cabinet to meet on June 5; Yuva Vikasam and employee issues on the agenda
The State Cabinet is scheduled to convene on June 5 to deliberate on several critical issues, including the ambitious Rajiv Yuva Vikasam programme and the Cabinet Sub-Committee report on employee-related matters. The decision was taken during a meeting of ministers chaired by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at the Integrated Command Control Centre on Sunday (June 01). It was attended by Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka and all the Ministers. The upcoming Cabinet meeting is expected to be a significant one, as it will address two major constituencies that were instrumental in the Congress party's return to power — the youth and government employees. The Rajiv Yuva Vikasam scheme, which has emerged as a flagship initiative aimed at youth empowerment, received overwhelming interest from the public. Ministers informed the Chief Minister that the volume of applications had exceeded expectations and flagged widespread complaints about attempts by ineligible individuals to exploit the scheme. To ensure transparency and credibility, the Cabinet will consider delaying the final announcement of beneficiaries until all applications are thoroughly screened. 'Not a single ineligible person should benefit from the scheme,' the CM said indicating the government's fairness intent. In addition, the Cabinet will take up the report submitted by the committee on employee issues. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, who received the report earlier, briefed the meeting on its findings. The meeting felt that the government must prepare a roadmap on all the demands of employees, and it requested the Deputy CM to conduct the next meeting with the government employee leaders soon to resolve them. The Ministers also reviewed reports from their recent visits to districts on May 29 and 30, where they assessed preparations for major initiatives like finalisation of list of beneficiaries of Indiramma house scheme, Revenue department conferences, and the cultivation readiness for the monsoon season. The ministers lauded Minister for Civil Supplies N. Uttam Kumar Reddy for his proactive efforts in streamlining grain procurement operations, ensuring minimal disruption to farmers.
