‘Bharat Sindoor' MSME Park launched in Andhra
NELLORE: In a blend of economic vision and patriotic fervour, the State has witnessed the launch of the Bharat Sindoor MSME park in Nellore rural constituency. Spread across 60 acres, the park promises to generate employment for local youth while standing as a tribute to the valour of Indian soldiers and the dignity of Indian womanhood. Nellore rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy along with TDP Nellore rural In-charge Giridhar Reddy, inaugurated the Bharat Sindoor MSME park at Amancherla on Saturday. Speaking on the occasion, rural MLA K Sridhar Reddy said that the MSME park symbolises the spirit of self-reliant India and echoes the nation's collective resilience. 'This park is a step toward empowering unemployed youth with new job opportunities. The name 'Bharat Sindoor' reflects the resilience and spirit of our nation, as suggested by our Chief Minister,' said Sridhar Reddy. The MLA condemned recent terrorist attacks attributed to Pakistan-backed extremists. 'Pakistan's cowardly attempts to destabilise our nation are shameful. The 'Red' they wish to spread is not blood-it is the sindoor on the foreheads of Indian women, the very symbol of our nation's dignity,' he said. He invoked 'Operation Sindoor,' India's decisive military response under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, and issued a stern warning to hostile elements. While urging for peaceful coexistence, Reddy made it clear that India will not hesitate to defend its sovereignty. 'To those who killed innocent civilians and tried to wipe off the sindhoor from our women's foreheads-your answer has come through Operation Sindoor. Reform now, or face consequences. The day is not far when Pakistan could disappear from the world map,' said Sridhar Reddy.

VIJAYAWADA: The ACB Special Court in Vijayawada has remanded Sajjala Sridhar Reddy until May 6 in connection with the alleged liquor scam. Sridhar Reddy, listed as A6, was arrested in Hyderabad on Friday night by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) and brought to Vijayawada to be presented before the court. The CID registered a case against him under Sections 409, 420, 120(B) read with Sections 34 and 37 of the IPC, and Sections 7, 7A, 8, 13(1)(b), and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. According to the remand report, Sridhar Reddy was a key player in the liquor syndicate, coordinating the sharing of kickbacks among members.
