Adi Srinivas seeks funds for devpt works in Vemulawada
Government Whip and Vemulawada MLA Adi Srinivas met Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy at his residence in Hyderabad on Tuesday and submitted a memorandum seeking allocation of funds for several development works in his constituency. The Chief Minister responded immediately and directed the concerned officials to release the required funds. Srinivas said that Rs 10 crore had already been sanctioned for the construction of the right and left canals of the Kalikota Sooramma reservoir in Kathalapur, Medipalli and Bheemaram mandals, which is prone to flooding. 'If additional funds are released, the works can be completed, enabling irrigation for 43,000 acres,' he noted, adding that CM Revanth Reddy had personally inspected the project during his tenure as TPCC president. He further informed the CM that forest clearances had been obtained for the construction of the Chandurthi–Motkaravupeta road and that the State government had already sanctioned over Rs 7 crore for the project. 'An additional Rs 10 crore would help complete the work, which will greatly improve connectivity between villages,' he pointed out. Highlighting the urgent need for bridges over Moolavagu and Pentivagu streams in Konaraopet mandal, Srinivas proposed construction of bridges at Bausaipet–Venkatraopet, Mamidipelli–Nizamabad, Vattimalla–Nimmapelli and Venkatraopet–Kondapur. The CM assured that these would be taken up under the HAM (Hybrid Annuity Model) scheme. 'I have always prioritised mobilising funds for the welfare of my constituency. With the CM's assurance, the works are expected to gain momentum,' Srinivas stated.

Farmers protest over urea shortage as queues get lengthier in many districts in Telangana
RAJANNA-SIRCILLA / KARIMNAGAR/ KHAMMAM : Farmers in Chandurthi, Yellareddipet, Illanthakunta, and Konaraopet mandals of Rajanna-Sircilla district, and Huzurabad, Karimnagar district, faced severe difficulties on Monday in procuring urea bags. They complained of spending long hours at fertiliser shops and primary agricultural cooperative societies (PACS), leaving them with little time for paddy transplantation. In Chandurthi, farmers placed their footwear in queues to reserve spots, alleging only one bag was being issued per Aadhaar card. Many said they were visiting shops daily due to the shortage. Long queues are being witnessed from morning to evening for urea bags. BRS leader and Vemulawada in-charge Chalmeda Laxminarsimha Rao alleged that the government lacked proper planning, causing severe inconvenience to farmers, and warned of protests in their support. In Karimnagar district, farmers from about 10 villages visit the local PACS daily but often return empty-handed. Kallepu Hanumantha Rao from Sirnapally said he had been coming for three weeks and still failed to get a urea bag. Farmers demanded that the government supply the required quantity of urea immediately, blaming poor management. Similar protests were also witnessed in Wyra in Khammam. District secretary of the Telangana Raithu Sangham, Bontu Rambabu, on Monday alleged that farmers were facing severe difficulties in getting adequate urea and fertilisers this season. Wyra mandal agricultural officer Manju Khan said there was some urea shortage and the problem is being addressed by redistributing excess stock.
