Telangana panchayat secretaries threaten mass leave over unmet demands
NALGONDA: Panchayat secretaries across Telangana have announced mass leave from Wednesday following a call by the Joint Action Committee (JAC) to press for the resolution of their long-pending issues.
President of the Nalgonda Panchayat Secretaries' Association, SA Qasim, stated that bills worth crores of rupees for gram panchayats have been pending for the past 18 months. He added that during the last two summers, individual secretaries incurred debts ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 10 lakh to ensure an uninterrupted water supply.
Qasim also highlighted the tragic death of Indanpally secretary Chandramouli from Jannaram mandal in Mancherial district, attributing it to financial stress caused by unpaid dues.

Gaurav Taneja, aka Flying Beast, weighs in on Ahmedabad plane crash: ‘Nothing short of a complete power loss can…'
In the wake of the tragic Air India plane crash that occurred this afternoon in Ahmedabad, YouTuber and former commercial pilot Gaurav Taneja, known widely by his online moniker Flying Beast, shared his perspective on what may have caused the incident. Taking to his account on X (formerly Twitter), Taneja suggested that a catastrophic technical failure could have caused the accident. 'Looks like a Dual Engine Failure after Take Off. Nothing short of a complete power loss can force a modern aircraft into that kind of sink rate, right after take off. Praying for everyone on board,' he posted.

Praying for everyone on board #AirIndiaCrash — Gaurav Taneja (@flyingbeast320) June 12, 2025 Responding to a follower who asked about the likelihood of such a failure, Taneja emphasized the extreme rarity of the situation. 'Extremely extremely extremely rare… a pilot cannot do anything, if he loses both engines after take off at 600 feet with building in front,' he replied. He wrote in another comment, 'Shocked to see a wide body aircraft just go down. Nightmare for a pilot. We have been into simulator sessions where our instructor simulates a dual engine failure and we struggle to gain control of the aircraft. BUT at the end, instructor feeezes the sim and says 'that was just a demonstration'. Can't even imagine if this happens in real life.' Taneja, who spent over a decade flying commercial aircraft before transitioning to a full-time career on YouTube, is known for his aviation insights and analysis of real-world incidents. Just weeks ago, he discussed another aviation scare involving a Srinagar-bound IndiGo flight that had to navigate treacherous weather. That aircraft was denied entry into Pakistani airspace due to geopolitical tensions, forcing it to fly through challenging conditions.

Sharp right! 90-degree turn on Bhopal railway overbridge leaves motorists fuming, minister to inspect on June 14
Image Credit: A Moeed Faruqui/ TNN BHOPAL: The design of the newly constructed Aishbagh railway overbridge in Bhopal has come under scrutiny, with experts raising concerns and state minister Vishwas Sarang set to visit the site on 14 June for inspection. The overbridge is not yet open to traffic. Officials are considering correcting the identified issues before its formal inauguration. Similar concerns had earlier been raised about the Ganesh Mandir–Gayatri Mandir flyover, which was inaugurated by chief minister Mohan Yadav. Following media reports and expert inputs, some engineers involved in that project were suspended. 'The turn in the middle of the overbridge at the right angle is an issue. Bhaiya (Sarang) has taken up the issue with engineers involved in the project and correction as required would be made in the design,' said Mukesh Lodhi, PRO to Sarang. He confirmed the minister's scheduled visit. Retired chief engineer, PWD, V K Amar, told TOI , 'Design of the overbridge is glaringly faulty. Whenever there is a turn on an overbridge, you give a curve so as to alert the driver about the turn ahead but here, you have a turn on the right angle without any curve and any driver would be taken by surprise at the turn and it would become an accident-prone area." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo "The design will have to be altered by giving a curve 100 metres ahead of the actual turn, so that a driver is ready for the turn as it arrives," he said. The Rs 18 crore overbridge was completed after an eight-year delay. Local residents have also raised concerns. 'Residents waited ten years for this bridge. Instead of relief upon its completion, the community raised significant safety issues. The primary concern centres on the sharp 90-degree turn at the bridge's peak, which vehicles must traverse, posing considerable risks,' said Aslam, a resident of Aishbagh locality. Railway authorities clarified that their responsibility was limited to the section over the tracks. 'We are responsible for the bridges built over the railway tracks. The approach roads of the bridge were built by PWD,' said Nawal Agrawal, PRO of Bhopal Railway Division. An engineer associated with the project, speaking to TOI on condition of anonymity, cited limited space and the presence of a nearby metro station as factors behind what he described as a 'distinctive design'. PWD officials said an inspection team had assessed the site and would submit a report. Additional Chief Secretary (PWD) Neeraj Mandoli did not respond to calls or messages.
