'Also shared insights on how Telangana's development model can be replicated across the country to build a more progressive, inclusive, and self-reliant India,' the post reads.
Recently, KT Rama Rao (KTR) also inaugurated the Knowledge Centre of Pragmatic Design Solutions Limited (PDSL) in Warwick, United Kingdom.
This facility will serve as a Near-Shore Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Test Centre, providing R&D services to leading global automotive companies, including McLaren, Aston Martin, and Jaguar Land Rover.
Speaking at the inauguration of the PDSL, BRS Working President and former Minister KT Rama Rao asserted that his commitment to the development of Telangana goes beyond political power. 'India First, Telangana First, this is not just a slogan; it's our policy direction,' KTR declared, reaffirming his dedication to promoting Telangana's interests on global platforms.
He took the opportunity to highlight the BRS government's contributions in transforming Hyderabad into one of India's premier automotive hubs. 'Under the BRS regime, Hyderabad stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Pune and Chennai as a leading centre for the automotive industry,' he remarked.
He credited this transformation to the party's progressive industrial policies and visionary planning.
Extending his vision beyond research and development, KTR emphasized that Telangana must aim to become the number one destination for automobile manufacturing as well.
He reminded the audience that Telangana was the first Indian state to host the prestigious Formula E Championship, which underscored the state's commitment to innovation in the mobility sector. 'Our government envisioned and worked towards creating a Mobility Valley to attract global investment and build a strong automotive ecosystem,' he said.
The BRS Working President also underlined how Telangana emerged as a magnet for global investments during the party's tenure in office. He recalled how global tech majors like Google, Amazon, and Facebook established their largest campuses in Hyderabad under the BRS government. 'In just nine years, Telangana made remarkable strides in IT jobs, exports, infrastructure, and innovation. That momentum must continue,' he said.
KTR called upon India's youth and industries to adapt to the rapidly changing global landscape. 'Our youth are proving their mettle across sectors, be it IT, life sciences, or automobiles. But to stay ahead, constant upskilling is essential,' he advised. He urged educational institutions, companies, and governments to invest in skilling and re-skilling programs that respond to future challenges.
Following the formal inauguration, KTR toured the facility, interacted with company staff, and was briefed by PDSL representatives about the organisation's ongoing initiatives. (ANI)

Protests in Bengal's Siliguri over SC order to relocate stray dogs in Delhi-NCR
Animal lovers in Siliguri staged a protest on Monday against the recent Supreme Court directive mandating that stray dogs in Delhi-NCR be shifted to shelter homes within eight weeks. The protests followed the Supreme Court's August 11 order directing authorities to ensure that all localities in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad are free of stray dogs.(Vipin Kumar/ANI File Photo for representation) The demonstrators expressed strong opposition, calling the ruling "inhuman" and urging the court to reconsider its decision. Holding placards and raising slogans, protestors gathered in Siliguri and argued that stray dogs are "voiceless creatures," and deserve compassion rather than displacement. "Dogs are voiceless creatures. They haven't done anything wrong to anyone... You can spare criminals, so why can't you spare dogs? Shame on you... This verdict is inhuman... This verdict should be taken back," said Anisha Paul, one of the protestors. A day ago similar protest had erupted in Chennai as well. The protests in Chennai came days after similar demonstrations in the national capital. On Friday, Delhi Police registered four FIRs in connection with protests held by dog lovers without prior permission on August 11 and 12 in the New Delhi district. Police said the demonstrations in Delhi were organised despite prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), formerly Section 144 of the CrPC, which is currently in force as part of security measures ahead of Independence Day. According to officials, the protests turned unruly when police attempted to disperse the demonstrators, leading to clashes at some sites. "Those who refused to leave the protest sites despite repeated requests were detained. Legal action will be taken against all those found violating the law," the Delhi Police said. One viral clip from the protests shows the Station House Officer of Tughlaq Road police station being manhandled by protesters, while another video shows a confrontation between a woman sub-inspector and a female demonstrator inside a bus. The protests followed the Supreme Court's August 11 order directing authorities to ensure that all localities in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad are free of stray dogs. The court had ruled that captured animals should not be released back onto the streets. On August 14, a three-judge bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and NV Anjaria reserved its order on petitions seeking a stay on the directive. The bench said it would pass an interim order after hearing arguments from all sides. At the outset, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Delhi government, said there was a "loud vocal minority" opposing the order, while a "silent suffering majority" supported action. "In a democracy, there is a vocal majority and one who silently suffers. We had seen videos of people eating chicken, eggs, etc., and then claiming to be animal lovers. It was an issue to be resolved. Children were dying... Sterilisation did not stop rabies; even if you immunised them, that did not stop mutilation of children," Mehta submitted. Citing World Health Organisation data, the Solicitor General said 37 lakh dog bites were reported in 2024, with 305 rabies deaths, most among children under 15 years of age. "Dogs do not have to be killed... they have to be separated. Parents cannot send children out to play. Nobody is an animal hater," he added.

Pakistan rides high on US ties after clash with India, but it won't last
Pakistan's military, buoyed by recent India clashes, sees itself central to regional politics, with Army Chief Munir twice visiting the US, meeting Trump, and addressing overseas Pakistanis Bloomberg Pakistan's army — and its chief Asim Munir — are brimming with confidence at the moment. A bit more caution would be wise: The generals, who hold the real power in Islamabad, have a history of over-promising and getting their country into trouble as a result. The military is reveling in what it sees as its new centrality in regional politics. Munir has been invited to visit the US twice in as many months. On the last trip, he had a long lunch with President Donald Trump. This time around, he visited US Central Command in Tampa, and spoke to overseas Pakistanis about the nation's growing importance. That is, at least, how the generals see their position at the moment. The military emerged from a bruising confrontation with India in May with its domestic and international position enhanced. Several major airbases were hit by airstrikes, which is a major escalation when compared to previous confrontations. But the Pakistani public was nevertheless pleased by reports that several Indian warplanes had been shot down. This buttressed the military's case that they were the nation's irreplaceable guardians — an argument that the jailed former prime minister, Imran Khan, has tried for some time to undermine. Even more importantly, both civilian and military leaders were effusive in their praise of Trump and his administration, whom they credited with brokering an end to hostilities. This infuriated New Delhi, which has always refused to let anyone intervene in its disputes with its neighbor, but it endeared the Pakistanis to the White House. The Trump administration has also thanked the South Asian country for its willingness to provide a back-channel to Iran at a time of heightened tensions. Pakistan's capture of an Islamic State leader accused of plotting a bomb attack in Kabul in 2021 that killed 13 US soldiers was also viewed as positive. But the president is probably most pleased that Islamabad said it had officially nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Partly as a result of this campaign of praise, Pakistan has managed to win a reasonable trade deal from Trump: The lowest tariffs in South Asia, at 19 per cent. Trump also announced that 'both countries will collaborate on developing Pakistan's extensive oil reserves,' and that he would shortly identify the lucky US company that would lead this partnership. This announcement is a bit of a head-scratcher. Pakistan doesn't have a lot of proven, easily accessible oil reserves. It did announce a big find last year, but details are yet to be confirmed; similar announcements in the past have had to be reversed. Even if it's correct, it isn't clear if developing these new reserves would make financial sense. Nor will it be easy to find a corporate partner, given how challenging the security situation remains. Even Chinese companies investing in a state they consider a reliable client have found themselves caught in the middle of various internecine ethnic and religious conflicts. Chances are that the generals just dropped a promise that they would put vast and undiscovered new oil reserves at America's disposal into Trump's ear, and that helped convince him he was getting a better deal. A few other developments might have caught the president's attention. In April, for example, less than a week after terrorists killed 26 people in Kashmir, raising the prospect of war on the subcontinent, Pakistan's finance ministry announced that its new crypto strategy would be run in cooperation with World Liberty Financial. The official press release explained that 'World Liberty Financial is backed by the Trump family, including President Donald Trump and his sons.' In June, the president disclosed that the crypto firm had earned him $57.7 million last year. Iran, oil reserves, crypto. The buzzwords are new, but the strategy isn't. The Pakistani military has always found some way of making itself useful to powerful foreign backers, whether in Beijing, Washington or the Gulf. But, as successive US administrations have discovered, the generals' promises sound good but are rarely kept. The military reuses these methods because they always survive the fallout. Pakistan, however, rarely benefits. If anything, the entire region gets less stable when its generals get overconfident. In Tampa, Munir was relaxed and expansive when talking to the Pakistani diaspora: He warned that a nuclear exchange between the two would impact 'half the world.' Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking on the nation's Independence Day, shot back that 'nuclear blackmail' was unacceptable.
