Kazipet RMU to make Metro trains from 2026: Railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw
Revanth Reddy
govt's ambitious Indiramma housing scheme in rural areas suffered a setback as the Union housing ministry sent a missive to the state, stating that the proposals submitted do not comply with norms, including.
The state govt has submitted a list of housing beneficiaries seeking funds under the
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana
(Rural) scheme. Under the PMAY (Rural), the ministry sanctions 72,000 per housing unit, and the remaining amount has to be borne by the state govt.
In its letter to the state, the Union ministry asked the officials to upload live facial authentication using Aadhaar of each beneficiary on its website, leaving the Telangana govt with a huge task of reaching out to 19.5 lakh beneficiaries in rural areas.
Also, the ministry set July 31 as the deadline for completing the task.

However, housing department secretary V P Gautham told TOI that the state has already completed the survey following the PMAY norms. "They asked us to enter survey details of beneficiaries on their app with beneficiary face authentication using Aadhaar. The work to do this is already in progress, and we are confident of completing it on time," he said.

PMAY urban 2.0
The Congress govt is extending 5 lakh financial assistance to the Indiramma housing scheme beneficiaries for the construction of the housing units. Of the 5 lakh, the Centre's share under PMAY urban 2.0 would be 1.5 lakh for each unit in urban areas and 72,000 for each unit in rural areas.
The state govt has undertaken the construction of 4.50 lakh Indiramma houses in the first phase, and permission letters to start the work have already been issued to over 3.50 lakh beneficiaries.
The state govt is expecting over 2,000 crore in central funding under PMAY for the housing scheme. The central govt releases the money every year once the state submits the data.
Housing minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, on multiple occasions, said the Congress govt would implement Indiramma housing at all costs. "Even if central funding is delayed, Indiramma housing works will continue at their original pace, and the govt will help the beneficiaries with the construction of over 20 lakh houses in five years, with 5 lakh financial aid to each," he added.

She highlighted that under this FTA, there are provisions for tariff reductions on 90 per cent of traded goods between the two countries. "However, it is not only about tariffs, which are indeed a crucial aspect that will benefit many industries. Creative companies will also benefit through stronger copyright protections, and the services sector will see gains as well. The Double Contributions Convention (DCC) will also help workers on both sides, creating more transparency and certainty," she said at an event organised by industry body PHDCCI in the national capital recently, as was quoted in a PHDCCI statement. The India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), was announced on May 6 after nearly three years of negotiations, is one of the most comprehensive free trade agreements ever entered into by India.

Ahmedabad crash's lone miracle survivor Vishwash Kumar Ramesh battles guilt and chilling nightmares: ‘He sleeps, but...'
More than a month after the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171 in Ahmedabad, the only passenger who survived—40-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh—is still grappling with the emotional aftermath. Having escaped with only minor physical injuries, Ramesh has been dealing with recurring nightmares and deep psychological distress, especially over the loss of his younger brother, Ajay, who was also on the flight. The Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner , bound for London Gatwick, went down just 30 seconds after take-off from Ahmedabad airport on June 12. It crashed into a hostel building meant for doctors at Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Medical College and Civil Hospital, killing 19 people on the ground. Onboard were 242 individuals, including 169 Indian nationals and 53 British nationals. Only one person survived.

'He remembers seeing everyone die in front of his eyes.' Ramesh has chosen to remain in Bucharwada, a village in Diu, rather than return to the UK. He is currently staying with his wife and four-year-old son. 'He is not going out much. He's spending time at home with the family,' Keshave added.

Investigation Points to Cockpit Confusion The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) of India released its preliminary findings on July 11. The report cited confusion in the cockpit as a contributing factor. According to the report, the aircraft's fuel control switches were found to have been turned off, starving both engines of fuel. Audio from the cockpit reportedly recorded a disagreement between the captain and co-pilot over who had changed the switches. A final report is expected within a year, in line with international aviation protocols. Though hailed as a 'miracle survivor' by everyone, those close to Ramesh say he carries a heavy emotional burden. One relative described him as 'guilty' for having survived when 'everyone else, including his brother, died.'
