Lad promises comprehensive development of Alnavar taluk
Affirming his commitment towards the overall development of the newly formed Alnavar taluk, Labour Minister Santosh Lad has said that continuous efforts are being made to make Alnavar a model taluk by initiating various development works.
Addressing a gathering after laying the foundation stone for the Praja Soudha administrative building in Alnavar on Tuesday, he said that the State government had sanctioned ₹8.6 crore for the project.
Mr. Lad pointed out that although the building was being constructed on the outskirts of the town, it would soon become central as Alnavar town will expand. He clarified that the Praja Soudha was being constructed on available government land in a location convenient for the public.
The Minister said that under the Bhoo Suraksha project, 3,90,054 pages of land records in the taluk had been digitised and the digital records were being provided to the public from June 1. A permanent drinking water supply project at an estimated cost of ₹71.9 core had been initiated for 3,780 houses in Alnavar town, he said.
Mr. Lad said that the existing six-bed primary health centre in Alnavar would be upgraded to a 30-bed community health centre. As much as ₹6 crore had been released for the restoration and rejuvenation of the canal and tail channel of Indiramma lake in Hulikeri village. About 80% of the work was completed and would benefit irrigation over 1,240 hectares of farmland in the taluk, he said.

Hyderabad: Taking serious note of a food poisoning incident that has already claimed one life, the State Government has terminated the services of the diet contractor at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) in Erragadda, Hyderabad. During the Telangana Formation Day celebrations on Monday, June 2, sweets distributed to inmates at IMH resulted in a significant food poisoning outbreak, affecting 92 individuals and leading to one fatality. The hospital's Non-DC ward, where the sweets were served, experienced a rapid increase in reports of nausea, vomiting, and discomfort. A total of 74 patients remained under observation at IMH, while 18 were transferred to Osmania General Hospital for further treatment.

CM Siddaramaiah orders magisterial probe into stampede tragedy
BENGALURU: The Karnataka government ordered a magisterial probe into the stampede that claimed 11 lives outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru during the RCB's IPL victory celebrations on Wednesday. Addressing a press conference on Wednesday evening, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that he has given 15 days for the magistrate to complete the probe, and based on that report, action will be taken. 'The probe will give us a clear picture of who will be held responsible… whether it is cricket association, or police security lapse, or other administrative lapses. Let the report come,' the CM said. Saying that the government is with the bereaved families, Siddaramaiah also announced Rs 10 lakh compensation to the family members of each of the deceased. 'The State Government is with the family members of the victims,'' he said. Deputy CM DK Shivakumar and Home Minister Dr G Parmeshwara were also present during the press conference. Siddaramaiah said that after the IPL victory, celebrations were organised at Vidhana Soudha by the State Government and at M Chinnaswamy Stadium by the Karnataka State Cricket Association. 'At Vidhana Soudha, over 1 lakh people assembled, and there was no untoward incident. Whereas at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the seating capacity is 35,000. But over 3 lakh people assembled in and around the stadium, which was not expected. We expected a little more than 35,000. People who had passes should have come to the stadium… if more number of people assembled, what can be done?' he said. Siddaramaiah said that 11 people died and 47 were injured in the stampede. 'The Karnataka government will pay the compensation to the deceased family members and take care of the treatment of the injured,' he said. The CM said he visited both the hospitals after the incident. 'This should not have happened. Neither the government nor the KSCA had anticipated it. This is an unexpected tragedy,'' he said. Further, Siddaramaiah said that he does not want to play politics over the tragedy. 'I am not defending the tragedy. There have been many stampede tragedies at many places. At Kumbh Mela, many died.
