CM: BRS machinations hampering job allotments
Participating in the Gurukula award function at Babu Jagjivan Ram Bhavan, Reddy blamed the Opposition party for hatching a political conspiracy and creating hurdles for issuing appointment orders of Group-1. He said that the previous regime did not want SC, ST and BC students to study, rather it wanted them to pursue traditional caste professions. Hence, they have come up with schemes like goat, sheep and fish distribution schemes, he said.
'Why did the BRS not take any steps to encourage the weaker sections as stakeholders in the government by providing education? Isn't it true that they played with the lives of the unemployed for 10 years without releasing job notifications? he asked.
The Chief Minister criticised the Opposition for giving posts to their family members in just six months after the poll debacle and preventing genuinely deserving youngsters from getting jobs.
He said that in a welcome contrast, the present government has already filled 59,000 government jobs and had conducted Group 1 exams.
'The last government had not even conducted Group 1 exams and is now obstructing by filing cases in courts. Today, the issue has become a social problem,' said Revanth Reddy.
Revanth Reddy pointed out that the government has appointed the first Dalit Vice-chancellor in the 100 years of Osmania University's history. The government also appointed Aakunuri Murali as the Chairman of the Education Commission and Gaddam Prasad Kumar as the Assembly Speaker. All of them have been recognised because of their educational background and not caste. The future of the country lies in the classrooms, he stressed.

The Supreme Court will review quota benefits. The court wants to ensure the most backward communities benefit. A petition was filed by members of SC and OBC communities. They seek to prioritize the neediest within reserved categories. The court acknowledges the sensitivity of the matter.

Huma Qureshi, Sesh, Shriya react to SC's verdict on stray dogs
The recent SC verdict on the relocation of the strays to the shelters in Delhi-NCR has sparked a debate on social media. There are several Indian celebrities, who are dog lovers and are sensitive about their issues in the localities. Huma Qureshi, Adivi Sesh and other celebs have voiced their opinions on SC Actor Adivi Sesh, who actively advocates PETA policies shares, "As a citizen, who deeply believes in both the letter letter and the spirit of the law, I am gravely concerned about the recent directive for the mass confinement of street dogs in Delhi NCR. Such an action not only goes against established animal welfare laws but also undermines the compassionate values that our country has always stood for. Stray dogs, when sterilised and vaccinated are not a threat, they are integral members of an urban ecosystem and deserve to live with dignity in their family territories." Also Read | We Would Have Not Reached At This Point If Local Bodies Did Their Job: Raveena Tandon On SC Verdict On Stray Dogs "Mass confinement is neither humane nor sustainable; it is a knee-jerk reaction to a complex, long term issue. We already have lawful, proven, and effective alternatives, empowering caregivers and enforcing strict penalties for cruelty and abandonment. I sincerely urge the honourable Court and Delhi government to act with empathy, foresight and choose long-term solutions rather than short-term suppression," he further adds. Actor Shriya Pilgaonkar feels, "Compassion and practicality must go hand in hand. While I understand the need to address safety concerns, sending all stray dogs to shelters is not a humane or sustainable solution. We do not have adequate shelters for stray animals in India and most shelters are already overcrowded and under-resourced. Instead of uprooting strays from their familiar territories, we need community-driven sterilisation, vaccination, and feeding programmes that allow humans and animals to coexist safely." About The Verdict: The Supreme Court on Monday directed that all stray dogs in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) be rounded up within eight weeks and housed in dedicated dog shelters to be set up by civic authorities, making it clear that no captured animal will be released back on the streets. A bench of justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan, hearing a petition registered on its own motion on the 'alarming and disturbing' rise in stray dog attacks, ordered contempt proceedings against any individual or organisation that attempts to obstruct the authorities from carrying out the capture drive. It directed that authorities in Delhi-NCR must set up a helpline so all dog bite complaints can be registered, with the offending animal picked up 'within four hours' of a complaint.
