Kavitha alleges corruption in Kodangal–Narayanpet lift irrigation project


Hyderabad (Same Day): Telangana Jagruti president Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Saturday accused Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy indulged in “diversionary and corrupt politics” and alleged large-scale financial irregularities in the Kodangal–Narayanpet lift irrigation project.

Addressing the media, Ms. Kavitha claimed that despite not carrying out even basic earthwork at the project site, the State government had released ₹1,000 crore each to contractors Megha Krishna Reddy and Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy. She alleged that public funds were being misused without corresponding progress on the ground.

The Telangana Jagruti leader said the Congress government had failed to prioritise farmers’ interests and irrigation development, instead focusing on political distractions. “There is no transparency or accountability in the execution of irrigation projects under the present government,” she alleged.

Ms. Kavitha demanded that the State government make public all details related to payments, work orders and progress reports of the Kodangal–Narayanpet lift irrigation scheme. She also called for an independent inquiry into the alleged irregularities.

Patients Forced to Buy Medicines, Carry Bottles at Unani Hospital Charminar: Lubna Sarwat Raise Alarm

Image
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.

It reflects a breakdown in basic public health services,” she sai...
