Congress leaders to tour districts, hold village meetings on employment guarantee

Hyderabad (Same Day): The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president Mahesh Kumar Goud and All India Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan will undertake district tours from January 28 to 31 as part of a State-wide campaign on issues related to the National Employment Guarantee Act.

The Congress is stepping up its agitation following the AICC’s call against what it alleges is the dilution of the employment guarantee programme and the removal of Mahatma Gandhi’s name from the scheme. As part of the campaign, party leaders will conduct gram sabhas and interact with workers enrolled under the job guarantee programme across several Assembly constituencies.

According to party sources, Congress leaders will participate in at least one village meeting in each constituency they visit. The programme includes meetings in two villages a day — one in the morning and another in the evening — to directly engage with job card holders and hear their concerns. Separate interactions with employment guarantee workers are also planned, along with community meals as a mark of solidarity.

The tour will begin on January 28 with visits to Medak and Manakondur. On January 29, the leaders will travel to Vemulawada and Yellareddy. On January 30, they will visit Medaram to offer prayers at the Sammakka–Saralamma shrine and later attend a village meeting in the Alair Assembly constituency. On the final day, January 31, gram sabhas are scheduled in Nakrekal and Ibrahimpatnam constituencies.

Party leaders said the campaign aims to mobilise public support in defence of the employment guarantee law and highlight the Congress’ commitment to protecting the interests of rural labourers.

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. Patients should not have to bear the financial burden of purchasing medicines or bring containers to access prescribed formulations. It reflects a breakdown in basic public health services,” she sai...
