Congress First Batch of Candidates: Telangana Lok Sabha

Congress Announces First Batch of Candidates for Lok-Sabha Elections in Telangana

In a recent development, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) has unveiled its initial lineup of candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Telangana. This announcement marks a significant step in the party’s preparations for the crucial electoral battle ahead.

The first list comprises four candidates who will be representing the Congress in different constituencies across the state. Suresh Kumar Shetkar has been selected to contest from Zaheerabad, while Raghuveer Kunduru will be the party’s candidate from Nalgonda. Similarly, Balram Naik Porika and Challa Vamshichand Reddy have been nominated to represent the Congress in the Mahabubabad and Mahabubnagar constituencies respectively.

AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal made the announcement during a press conference held in New Delhi, shedding light on the party’s strategic choices for the upcoming elections.

However, prior to the official release of the list by the AICC, another list containing 36 candidates, including Sunitha Mahender Reddy for Chevella constituency, had been circulating on various social media platforms. This caused some initial confusion among party members and the public alike.

Interestingly, the candidature of Vamshichand Reddy from Mahabubnagar was initially put on hold, along with two candidates from Karnataka. Nevertheless, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy had already declared Vamshichand’s candidature during a public gathering in Mahabubnagar earlier in the week.

This unveiling of candidates is just the beginning of what promises to be an intense electoral season in Telangana. With political parties gearing up for fierce competition, each candidate’s campaign and the party’s overall strategy will play a crucial role in shaping the outcome of the elections.

As the election fever grips the state, all eyes will be on the Congress and its contenders as they strive to secure victory and make their mark in the Lok Sabha elections.

Hyderabad Rumble Strips: Comfort vs. Safety?

Hyderabad Commuters Rumble Over Thick Speed Stripes

 

Commuters in Hyderabad are up in arms over recently installed rumble strips, which they claim are excessively thick and causing discomfort, safety hazards, and potential vehicle damage.

These strips, designed to alert drivers of lane departures or danger zones, are reportedly far thicker than recommended standards. Motorists are expressing concerns that the jarring vibrations are not only unpleasant but could also lead to back problems and suspension damage.

Harsha, who runs the Team Road Squad social media account, has been a vocal critic. They argue that the current design is a nuisance rather than a safety measure, particularly for motorcyclists. Harsha, along with many commuters, have urged the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to re-evaluate the implementation.

The complaint centers on the thickness of the strips, likened to those found on highways but installed in urban areas. Drivers report feeling every bump, even at slow speeds, raising concerns about potential damage to vehicles.

One resident described the Durgam Cheruvu cable bridge as a “nightmare” due to the constant rumble. Similar concerns have been raised in other parts of the city, including PVNR Expressway, Habsiguda, Mehdipatnam, and the Indian School of Business road.

According to official guidelines, rumble strips in urban areas should be no more than 5 mm tall. However, commuters believe the strips in Hyderabad are significantly higher, posing a potential health risk, especially for those with back problems.

Road safety activist Lokendra Singh agrees, calling the current design “unscientific” and urging a reduction in thickness. He also criticized the placement of strips on curves, citing an example in Raidurgam that was later rectified after intervention by a government official.

With growing public outcry, Hyderabad officials now face the challenge of balancing safety with commuter comfort. Whether they will adjust the thickness or placement of the rumble strips remains to be seen.

Hyderabad Activist Questions Police Ops

Hyderabad Social Activist Raises Concern Over Police Operations

A social activist in Hyderabad has raised significant concerns regarding the recent police operations conducted by the Hyderabad Police. The activist, S. Q. Masood, has written to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, DGP Ravi Gupta, and City Police Commissioner K. Sreenivasa Reddy, urging a re-evaluation of strategies to ensure that all law enforcement activities comply with legal boundaries.

Masood highlighted that certain police actions, such as ‘Mission Chabutra’, ‘Cordon and Search’, and ‘Counseling of Pedestrians’ special drives, have raised serious questions about their legality and ethicality. He emphasized that these operations not only violate citizens’ rights but also damage the reputation of the police department and the government.

The activist pointed out instances where police personnel were seen using abusive language, resorting to physical violence against individuals sitting outside their homes, and harassing street vendors and food delivery executives. Masood stressed that the right to move freely and peacefully assemble is a fundamental right that must be respected within the confines of the law.

In conclusion, Masood emphasized the importance of re-evaluating police strategies to ensure that all law enforcement activities are conducted with utmost respect for human rights and dignity. This call for a review aims to address concerns over potential violations of legal boundaries in policing operations in Hyderabad.
