Drinking water, Aadhaar cards, streetlights, & more
Nagarkurnool (Nallamala Forest): During a legal awareness camp held in the Nallamala forest area of Lingala Mandal, Chenchu tribals raised issues demanding provision of basic amenities in their areas.
The villagers requested a hand pump or a drinking water well. They informed that out of the 10 streetlights in the area, only two are currently functioning. They also mentioned that while a check dam had already been sanctioned near Appapur Penta, if constructed swiftly, it would fulfil the drinking water needs of Appapur and four nearby Chenchu hamlets. Villagers also informed that a Primary Health Centre (PHC) has also been sanctioned for the area, but it remains in the initial stages of development. 'Establishing the PHC at Appapur Penta would provide medical facilities to surrounding hamlets as well,' they said.
A few residents reported issues, such as not having Aadhaar cards, pension benefits, or ration cards. Lingala Tahsildar promised to resolve these issues within a month. People also requested the allotment of housing for the homeless.
The legal awareness camp was conducted as per the instructions of District Principal Judge D Ramakanth and led by District Legal Services Authority Secretary Naseem Sultana at Appapur Penta. During the camp, information about various laws was shared with the locals and their problems were heard and noted.
Later, fruits were distributed to the Chenchu tribal community during the camp. The DLSA Secretary emphasised the importance of obtaining birth and death certificates, refraining from driving without a license, and following traffic rules. She encouraged the public to approach the District Legal Services Authority, Nagar Kurnool, for help with any legal issues.
Following this, another legal awareness camp was held at Mallapur Penta village panchayat premises. Residents there also reported lack of street lighting, bore wells, and road facilities. They requested pensions, Aadhaar cards, ration cards, and the establishment of Anganwadi and primary schools. Amrabad Tahsildar Shailendra Kumar assured that issues related to Aadhaar, ration cards, and pensions would be resolved within a month.
Officials who participated in the programmes included Achampet CI G Ravinder, SI A Venkateshwar Goud, Munnanur Forest Range Officer Devja, Lingala Tahsildar Pandu Naik, Amrabad Tahsildar Shailendra Kumar, and residents of both Penta villages.

Renting Aadhaar logins, manipulating data: How hackers ‘helped' job aspirants cheat
The Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister has directed the strictest possible action following revelations of a sophisticated cyber fraud that exploited the Aadhaar update system during the Police Constable Recruitment Exam-2023. In a statement, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said: 'Such criminal acts, which cause injustice to deserving candidates, will not be tolerated in Madhya Pradesh. Taking suo motu cognizance, the Police Headquarters is conducting a thorough examination of biometric data and Aadhaar history of all successful candidates. In cases where impersonation is found at first glance, criminal cases have been registered against the candidates and strict action is being ensured.' The directive comes as investigators have allegedly uncovered an interstate network spanning multiple states that manipulated biometric data to help unqualified candidates fraudulently pass the recruitment examination. According to sources, the investigation has allegedly revealed that the organised gang rented login IDs of several Aadhaar centre agents. They also indicate the gang cloned agents' retina and biometric data that served as passwords for these IDs, with one agent having his ID rented for Rs 3,000 per month. Inspector General of Police (Law and Order) Anshuman Singh said that during investigation, it was also found that some Aadhaar card vendors uploaded requests for biometric changes to the Aadhaar system without proper verification. 'The accused candidates exploited this lapse to commit the crime,' he said. The sophisticated operation allegedly utilised remote access applications to control candidates' systems from Delhi while updating their Aadhaar with the gang's own biometric data. After examinations concluded, the IDs were changed back to their original state, allowing imposters known as 'solvers' to be sent to exam centres with altered identities. The gang updated biometric data in candidates' Aadhaar cards before the exam and altered it again afterward. Police said the irregularities were first detected in November 2024 when documents of five candidates in Morena raised suspicions during the Physical Proficiency Test. This discovery prompted the police headquarters to issue directives on April 21, 2025, requiring re-verification of biometric and Aadhaar history for all selected candidates during character verification and appointment phases. The probe has led to the registration of 21 cases against 22 candidates across multiple districts, with seven cases in Morena, six in Shivpuri, two in Sheopur, and one each in Indore, Datia, Gwalior, Alirajpur, Rajgarh, and Shahdol.

After NDTV Report Exposes Constable Exam Scam, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Orders Crackdown
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav condemned police constable recruitment scam, calling it a betrayal. An investigation into biometric fraud has begun, leading to FIRs and arrests. The scheme undermined merit and affected numerous deserving candidates. Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has broken his silence on the police constable recruitment scam exposed by NDTV, calling it a betrayal of thousands of deserving candidates and ordering immediate, stern action. "In light of the information received about fraud and irregularities in the police constable recruitment 2023 process, I have directed strict action to be taken immediately. Such criminal acts, which cause injustice to deserving candidates, will not be tolerated in Madhya Pradesh," the Chief Minister said in a strongly worded statement. Mr Yadav said the police headquarters has taken note of the matter on its own (suo motu) and launched an investigation into the biometric data and Aadhaar history of all the selected candidates. "Wherever impersonation has been prima facie established, criminal cases have been registered and strict action is being ensured," he said. This announcement comes days after NDTV uncovered a sophisticated network of the 'solver mafia', Aadhaar tampering, and biometric fraud that allowed undeserving candidates to steal the dreams of genuine aspirants. The investigation began when anomalies were spotted during the physical test rounds in Morena district - leading officials to uncover a pattern of multiple Aadhaar updates, changed biometrics, and impersonators appearing in written exams. With over 9.6 lakh applicants for 7,411 constable posts, the stakes were high. But instead of being a test of merit, the recruitment process became a target for organised fraud. Solvers, reportedly charging Rs 4-5 lakh per candidate, cleared the written exams using fake identities, and the original candidates later updated their Aadhaar credentials to reclaim their place. So far, 19 first information reports (FIRs) have been filed, 12 people arrested, and over 100 suspects are under investigation - including Aadhaar operators and candidates. A single solver is alleged to have appeared in six different exams, clearing five. Aadhaar centres in Bhitarwar, Morena, and Sheopur have come under the scanner for enabling mass-scale biometric manipulation. The scam has not only triggered outrage but also crushed the hopes of countless aspirants. Officials say the scam's links may stretch to Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Delhi, echoing the Vyapam scandal from a decade ago. The methods have evolved, but the motive remains unchanged: corruption, influence, and stolen opportunities. While the state government's crackdown has begun, the real challenge lies in restoring the sanctity of recruitment. For now, aspirants across the state wait - not just for justice, but for a system they can trust.
