Kavitha assures support to auto drivers, seeks fulfilment of poll promise


Hyderabad (Same Day): Telangana Jagruti president Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Wednesday said her organisation would take up the issues of auto drivers with the government and, if necessary, launch a collective agitation along with auto unions to protect their livelihood and safety.

Ms. Kavitha was speaking at a meeting with leaders of various auto unions at the Telangana Jagruti office in Hyderabad. She demanded that the Congress government immediately fulfil its pre-election promise of providing ₹12,000 financial assistance to auto drivers.

Expressing concern over the harassment of auto drivers arriving in Hyderabad from other districts, Ms. Kavitha said preventing them from operating despite having valid permits was unjustified. She described the situation as alarming and called for immediate intervention by the authorities.

“The responsibility of ensuring workers’ safety and safeguarding their right to livelihood rests with the government,” she said, adding that attacks and intimidation against auto drivers from districts must be stopped without delay.

Ms. Kavitha said Telangana Jagruti would engage with all auto associations on the issue and, if required, approach the Labour Minister to seek a resolution. She also assured that discussions would be held with police and transport department officials to ensure complete protection for auto drivers coming to the city from districts.

Reiterating Telangana Jagruti’s commitment to workers’ welfare, she said the organisation would continue to stand with labourers in the spirit of the Telangana movement.

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...
