Telangana Formation Day Celebrated with Patriotic Fervor by NHPS in Gadwal; Chairman Ranjith Kumar Pays Tribute to Martyrs, Criticizes Leadership Failures
Gadwal: The Telangana Formation Day celebrations were held with great fervor at the Nadigadda Rights Struggle Committee (NHPS) District Office on June 2. The event began with the district chairman of NHPS, Gongalla Ranjith Kumar, garlanding the portraits of Professor Jayashankar and Mucherla Satyanarayana — two iconic figures in the Telangana movement — followed by the hoisting of the national flag. Ranjith Kumar extended warm wishes to the people of Telangana and Jogulamba Gadwal district on the occasion of the state's 10th formation anniversary. Tribute to Martyrs of Telangana Movement Speaking on the occasion, Chairman Ranjith Kumar reflected on the long and emotional journey of the Telangana statehood movement. He said that the formation of Telangana on June 2, 2014, was the result of sacrifices made by more than 1,200 martyrs who laid down their lives during various phases of the struggle, starting from as early as 1969. He paid homage to Professor K. Jayashankar, a visionary and ideological pillar of the Telangana movement, and Sangam Reddy Satyanarayana, also known as Mucherla Satyanarayana, a poet-warrior and former minister in undivided Andhra Pradesh, who relentlessly advocated for Telangana's self-respect and statehood. Criticism of Current Political Leadership Ranjith Kumar criticized both the previous and current governments for failing to fulfill the promises made to the people during the statehood agitation. He alleged that the local MLA, who defected to the ruling party in the name of development, has neglected core issues in the constituency. He pointed out the lack of progress in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, which continues to create hardships for common people. Ranjith Kumar stated that the local MLA had completely failed to resolve people's problems and deliver the promised welfare schemes. NHPS Vows to Fight for Public Issues He reaffirmed that the Nadigadda Rights Struggle Committee (NHPS) would continue to fight for the rights of the people, particularly in sectors like education, healthcare, and local development. He promised that the committee would raise awareness among villagers in every mandal and hold the authorities accountable for public grievances.

iPhone scam busted: Two arrested for defrauding over 100 people in TN, Pondy
PUDUCHERRY: Two persons were arrested by the cyber crime police in Puducherry for allegedly orchestrating a widespread online fraud involving the sale of iPhones at throwaway prices. The accused, identified as Mahesh from Puducherry and Sajid from Tiruchy, allegedly scammed more than 100 people, primarily from Tamil Nadu, by luring them with fake Instagram advertisements offering iPhone 15 devices for just Rs 7,000. The case was registered based on a complaint filed by Ranjith Kumar, a resident of Gorimedu, Puducherry. Ranjith Kumar reported that he had come across an Instagram post advertising an iPhone 15 at a heavily discounted price. Trusting the offer, he transferred Rs 7,000 in three installments to a bank account provided by the fraudsters. However, after making the payment, he did not receive the promised product. When he attempted to contact the seller, he was insulted with offensive remarks, prompting him to approach the Cyber Crime Police. A cyber investigation team headed by inspectors S Diagaradjane and BC Kirthy, along with head constable Manimozhi and PC Vinoth, used digital tools and online tracking techniques to trace and apprehend the accused. Probe revealed that the duo operated several fraudulent Instagram accounts to target unsuspecting customers. Victims were convinced through promotional videos and personal messages, only to be duped after making payments. Investigators have found that five bank accounts were used to facilitate the scam, with transactions exceeding Rs 15 lakh. Authorities have also seized four mobile phones and Rs 1.3 lakh in cash from the accused. So far, 43 complaints have been registered against them through the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP). Both accused have been remanded to judicial custody. Inspector general of police Dr Ajit Kumar Singla has urged the public to remain vigilant against such online frauds. He advised people not to fall for online advertisements that offer products at unrealistically low prices. The cyber crime police have received over 1,000 similar complaints of financial fraud in recent months.
