Focus on waste audit, segregation and management in 100-day municipal action plan
Waste audit of assessing the quantity and types of waste generated in a specific area, waste segregation and sustainable waste management practices will be the main focus of the 100-day action plan initiated by the government for improving conditions in Urban Local Bodies (ULBs, apart from the GHMC) across the State on the Telangana State Formation Day from June 2. The plan cleared by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, who also holds the municipal administration and urban development department, includes identifying gaps in segregation, reducing waste reduction, recycling and better disposal practices. The audit will be to assess waste composition, identify gaps in segregation at every major source like a school, market, commercial area etc., informed top officials. It is to help in recommending strategies for waste reduction, recycling, and better disposal practices. Householders will also be encouraged to separate wet and dry waste at the source itself with separate bins. Local bodies have been directed to promote composting of organic waste to reduce landfill problem burden and also generate compost at the household/community level. Composting units will be set up in schools to process organic waste like food and garden waste, they said. Sanitary workers at all levels will be profiled to ensure they get their dues, including ESI/PF benefits, even as health camps will be held. The action plan also involves fixing iron mesh over open drains to prevent the entry of solid waste – a major issue of municipalities - reduce blockages and enhance cleanliness. Desiltation of storm water drains, removal of debris to prevent water logging is also on cards. Apart from reworking the street vending units and testing for food quality, street food festivals are to be conducted. The ULBs have been told to promote urban greenery and beautification efforts like development of at least one traffic junction and a park. The 'Bhuvan' survey for identification of unassessed and under assessed properties to bring them in tax net is being revived as part of the drive in association with the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC). Identifying commercial and mixed properties lacking trade licences and collecting fee, door-to-door survey of all water supply house service connections for ward wise enumeration, and so on are among the activities earmarked during this period, they added.

Did Bhuvan Bam undergo surgery? Actor reacts to Reddit post, clarifies about his 'changed facial structure'
YouTube personality and actor Bhuvan Bam has shared a statement after a section of the internet claimed that he underwent surgery. Taking to Reddit, a person shared his new photos with his clean-shaven look and compared them with his old pictures. While some people said that he definitely underwent surgery, a few of them wrote that he made changes to his look. (Also Read | KBC 16: Bhuvan Bam, Kamiya Jani are nervous about Amitabh Bachchan making Reels on Jumma Chumma. Here's why) The post was shared with the caption, "Have Bhuvan Bam undergone any sort of surgery? Plastic Surgery - Doctor gives what God doesn't give you." It also added, "So did he undergo any procedure? He looks very different nowadays. Please don't say it's diet and ageing. Hahaha, don't make us a fool." Reacting to it, a person wrote, "I think something is different with his more square." A comment read, "He looks extremely different!!! Most probably on hair medication, his jawline does look different." "Some hair transplant, some rhinoplasty, something with jawline," commented another person. Another person wrote, "There are definitely changes to the jawline which are not because of diet and exercise. The shape has changed and become more even. Probably fillers, but then again, it's not surgery, so that's smart word play. I wouldn't have recognised him in a million years." A few people didn't agree with the opinion that he underwent surgery. A person said, "Doesn't look like it. Seems like he gained some weight on his cheeks and removed his beard." "Nah! He's just changed his hairstyle. And removed the beard," read a comment. A fan said, "Guys, I feel it's just a general glowup with him taking care of himself more than ever. Don't see a reason why he would go for surgery." "Gained a good amount of muscle, changed the hairstyle, which has given more structure and frame to his face and good grooming, that's about it. PS I liked him better with long hair," commented a fan. After reading the comments, Bhuvan too to the post and dismissed surgery claims, adding that the changes were because of diet and exercise. "Hi doston (friends), Had a great time reading all the comments regarding my surgery (laughing face emoji). I also felt the same after looking at my changed facial structure, as if I had gone under the knife. But it's just 60 minutes of cardio and one hour of strength training supported by a strict diet. It does wonders, trust me." Bhuvan shared a post featuring his old picture, and people's appearance changes with time. "Also, the second photo is almost a decade old. So, naturally, people's appearance changes. A few weeks ago, I underwent a lip surgery because of a painful boil, also known as 'mucocele'. It had to be removed because I've been prepping up for a show and had to be in a certain look. But thank you for your opinions which are just 'andhere mein lath ghumaana (doing guess work)' (laughing face emoji). Take care all. Lots of Love. Bhuvan rose to fame by playing fictionalised characters. He posted the videos on his YouTube channel, BB Ki Vines. In 2021, he released the web series Dhindora on YouTube. In January 2023, he made his OTT debut with Taaza Khabar. He was also seen in Amazon miniTV's Rafta Rafta opposite Srishti Rindani.

Bhuvan Bam gives an important update on Dhindora 2: I have put a hold on it for the time being
After creating a name for himself as a content creator, Bhuvan Bam forayed into acting full time with his own written show Dhindora in 2021. The show was well-received and he had hinted several times on a second season being in development. Now, Bhuvan Bam shares an update on it with us, as he says, 'I have been working on writing Dhindora for a long time, but now I have put a hold on it as comedy gets stale if it takes too long to be made. My first draft is ready but we still don't have the clarity when will it go on floors. But it's definitely on the cards.' Meanwhile, he is busy working on another project, which he doesn't reveal details about but admits that it is the first time he is working on a project just as an actor. 'It is very different to be a part of a project where your involvement is just to act in front of the camera and go home. I always wanted to experience it. I love writing and developing things for my own channel, but that can't be my ultimate goal. That can be one of the things I take forward with me, but being an actor has been the sole purpose. So, this is a new and exciting experience,' he says. Bhuvan asserts that this is his 'new era' as an actor. 'The new era is in terms of the work I am doing. The work that will come in the next few months, will define what I had always wanted to do. It's a hint to that, I am just waiting for the official announcement to happen,' he ends.

Pakistani actors like Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, and Fawad Khan are facing more problems, as their Instagram and X (Twitter) accounts have been blocked in India. They also cannot work with Indian artists. During this time, a Pakistani fan commented on YouTuber and actor Bhuvan Bam's post saying, 'Sorry Bhuvan Bhaiya, unfollow," to show they had stopped following him after he posted about the rising tensions between the two countries. Bhuvan replied calmly, reminding people that political issues shouldn't ruin personal or online bonds. Bhuvan replied, 'Bhai if standing tall with my country means losing followers then be it." Meanwhile, YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia — popularly known as BeerBiceps faced criticism and online trolling for his posts. This time, it was over a now-deleted Instagram post directed at the people of Pakistan amid the India-Pakistan tension in the wake of Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. In the post, shared on Saturday, Ranveer wrote that he holds no hatred toward Pakistanis and apologised if anyone from the neighbouring country felt that Indians were spreading hate. Though the message appeared to be an attempt at promoting peace, it didn't sit well with many on social media. Users quickly began calling him out, accusing him of being tone-deaf and questioning the timing and intent behind the message. The backlash was swift enough that the post was taken down shortly after it was shared.
