Man booked for conning devotees with fake recommendation letters
Tirupati: Nandyal police have taken a conman into custody for allegedly conning unsuspecting devotees with fake recommendation letters of MPs, MLAs, and ministers for VIP darshans at Tirumala. The fraud, which was being operated from Nandyal, was exposed after a group of devotees from Nellore lodged a complaint that the conman — identified as E Venkatesh, a native of Guntakandala village in Velugodu mandal — duped them by giving them a fake recommendation letter of Nandyal MP Byreddy Shabari. Nandyal police, who have launched an investigation, learnt that Venkatesh has been giving fake recommendation letters of several elected representatives from Kurnool and Nandyal districts. While the extent of the fake recommendation letters scam is being investigated, Nandyal MP Shabari confirmed to TOI that the issue has come to her notice as well. "The accused faked the letterheads of several MPs, MLAs and even the DGP. I have asked the district police wing to thoroughly investigate the case and bring out the facts to light. It is unfortunate that some youngsters get drifted away in life and get entangled in such criminal activities and destroy their future," she underlined. Nandyal SP Adhiraj Singh Rana was unavailable for comment despite repeated attempts. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Nandyal MP Byreddy Shabari highlights India's progress on climate goal front at BRICS Parliamentary Forum in Brazil
Nandyal MP Byreddy Shabari asserted that India had been actively protecting the environment even before global discussions on climate change began, citing the Chipko Movement of the 1970s, in which rural women played a key role in saving forests, as an example, at a session on 'Empowering Women to Face the Climate Crisis', organised as part of the BRICS Parliamentary Forum held in Brazil on Wednesday. On the occasion, Ms. Shabari highlighted India's progress on the climate goal front, which included a 24% reduction in emission intensity and an addition of 159 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity, and mentioned that the country had the largest number of Ramsar sites in entire South Asia. She also spoke about the need for gender-inclusive climate policies, and the important role women could play in environment protection. Ms. Shabari said it was enriching to engage and exchange ideas with fellow Parliamentarians from around the world, especially from the BRICS group of nations, and these interactions reinforced the importance of dialogue, solidarity, and shared commitment to progress and equality, while thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for giving her the opportunity to be part of the Indian delegation led by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.
