BC Leaders Pay Tributes to Mahatma Jyotiba Phule on His 135th Death Anniversary at Sainikpuri


Hyderabad (Same Day): Leaders from various Backward Class (BC) community organisations paid rich tributes to Mahatma Jyotiba Phule on his 135th death anniversary at the Sainikpuri crossroads on Friday. Floral garlands were offered to the social reformer’s statue in the presence of a large gathering of community representatives.

BC JAC Chairman Kundaram Ganesh chary, local Corporator Pavani Reddy, Meru Sangham State Vice-President Jayaraju, Vishwabrahmana Cooperative Society President Thatikonda Srinivas Chary, Medchal district BC Associations Vice-President Charlapalli Manoj Kumar, BC Welfare Association leaders, former MLA B.T. Subhash Reddy, along with several advocates and community members, participated in the event.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kundaram Ganesh chary expressed concern that despite constituting nearly 60% of the population, BC communities continue to remain socially and politically disadvantaged. He urged the State government to honour its commitment of providing 42% reservations for BCs in local body elections.

He further appealed to the Union government to include BC reservations under the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution to ensure legal protection and safeguard the interests of nearly 70 crore people belonging to BC communities across the country.

Calling for equitable justice, Mr. chary stressed the need for the Telangana government to address the concerns of the nearly 2.5 crore BC population in the State and ensure fair representation and welfare measures.

Hyderabad (Same Day): Patients visiting the Government Unani Hospital in Charminar are reportedly being compelled to purchase a majority of their prescribed medicines from private pharmacies, with activists claiming that over 60% of essential Unani medicines are unavailable at the facility. Adding to the woes, patients are also being asked to bring their own empty bottles to collect traditional halwa-based medicines—a practice described as both inconvenient and degrading by social activists and patient families. Dr. Lubna Sarwath, social and environmental activist and member of the Indian National Congress (INC), has formally raised the grievance with the Hyderabad District Collector on Wednesday, demanding immediate redressal. “This is a public hospital meant to serve the underprivileged.
