TG seeks NOC from Jal Shakti Ministry and A.P. for utilisation of 1,500 tmc ft in Godavari and Krishna
The Telangana Government has sought a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Union Jal Shakti Ministry and neighbouring Andhra Pradesh allowing it to utilise 1,000 tmc ft of Godavari and 500 tmc ft of Krishna water. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has urged Union Jal Shakti Minister C.R. Patil to ensure that the Central Government gives its consent for the NOC allowing Telangana to utilise 1,500 tmc ft water as it would suffice to realise the goal of irrigating 1.5 crore acres of land. 'We have no objection if the Centre examines the clearances for projects proposed by Andhra Pradesh after allocating 1,500 tmc ft water from the two rivers,' the Chief Minister told the Union Minister. He termed as inappropriate the Centre's attitude in responding speedily to the projects proposed by the neighbouring State and neglecting Telangana's projects. This would give scope for apprehensions between the two States that could in turn lead to problematic situations, he said, seeking the Union Minister's cooperation in according clearances to Palamuru-Rangareddy, Tummidihatti and Sammakka-Sarakka projects at the earliest. Funds for Musi project The Centre should consider granting funds for the Musi rejuvenation project proposed by the Telangana Government on the lines of similar projects taken up on Ganga and Yamuna rivers. Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, who briefed reporters after the meeting, said that the Jal Shakti Minister responded positively to the State's request. Mr. Patil told the Chief Minister and the Irrigation Minister that the Centre was yet to receive the detailed project report pertaining to the Godavari-Banakacharla project. The Union Minister also assured the State delegation that he would take the initiative in convening the meeting of the Apex Council headed by him and comprising the Chief Ministers of the two Telugu States as members soon.

Bonalu festivities to start in city on June 26; govt grants Rs 20 cr
Hyderabad: The Telangana Government would be celebrating the state festival of Ashada Masam Bonalu grandly in 28 major temples in the city starting from June 26. The state government has allocated a budget of Rs 20 crore for the Bonalu festival. A review meeting was organised with the temple committees at the MCR HRD institute on Tuesday on the ensuing Bonalu Festival, which was attended by the Endowment Minister Konda Surekha and Hyderabad in-charge Minister Ponnam Prabhakar. Minister Konda Surekha told the officials that Ashada Bonalu Jatara should be grandly held in all 28 temples and all departments should work in coordination to avoid any problems. The Minister further said that there were no budget constraints for the Bonalu festival and the government had already allocated Rs 20 crore. She said that if more funds are required, they would bring this to the attention of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and funds would be allocated, she said, adding the government would respond positively in this matter. She also said that the officials should take steps to ensure that the devotees do not face any difficulties anywhere. Reminding that Minister Ponnam Prabhakar had faced difficulties during the festivals last year, and this time, the minister directed the officials to prepare a special program and make arrangements so that such incidents do not recur. The first Bonam will begin in Golconda on June 26. After that, there will be Bonalu Jatara in Balkampet, Ujjaini Mahankali, and Lal Darwaja. There will also be rangams and big processions. The ministers directed the officials to complete the arrangements for that. The ministers asked that the cheques given to the temples should be coordinated and claimed before the festivals, and that the officials should work with the attitude of serving rather than doing their job. The ministers directed the police to coordinate with all departments to maintain law and order and also to take steps to prevent any lapses. Minister Konda Surekha directed the officials to collect everyone's opinions on the problems prevailing in the temples and ensure that there were no difficulties in the management of Bonalu Festival. GHMC Mayor Gadwal Vijaya Lakshmi, Rajya Sabha member Anil Kumar Yadav, Principal Secretary of the Endowment Department Shailaja Ramaiyar, DGP Jitender, Endowment Director Venkata Rao, CP CV Anand, district collectors, senior police officers, and heads of various departments participated in this coordination review meeting.

Govt to roll out ‘Bala Bharosa' for emergency treatment to kids
Hyderabad: The Telangana Government is set to launch the 'Bala Bharosa' scheme imminently, which is a new initiative aimed at providing emergency medical treatment for children aged under five. This announcement was made by Panchayat Raj Minister Dhanasri Anasuya, also known as Seethakka, during a video conference with district collectors on Monday. The Minister explained that under the 'Bala Bharosa' scheme, all necessary medical tests for children below the age of five would be conducted, and any required surgeries would be performed free of charge. Emphasising the importance of government schools and Anganwadi centres, where many children from less privileged backgrounds receive their education, Seethakka urged collectors to recognise their crucial role. 'Telangana will only truly prosper if Anganwadis and government schools are strong. Their impact shapes the future of Telangana. Therefore, give them special focus,' she stated. The Minister also highlighted progress on student uniforms, noting that women's groups are stitching them for government school students, with approximately 90 per cent of the work for the current academic year already completed. She assured that uniforms would be distributed to all students on the school's opening day, contrasting this with previous delays where uniforms were sometimes received six months into the academic year. With Anganwadis scheduled to reopen on June 11, Seethakka instructed collectors to inspect their management beforehand. 'For the first time, we have given holidays to Anganwadis,' she noted, calling for field level staff to inspect Anganwadi buildings. She urged steps to encourage children to enrol in Anganwadis and called for these centres to be made comparable to private play schools, ensuring facilities such as drinking water, electricity, and toilets are provided. The Minister called for the 'Amma Maata Anganwadi batha' programme, launching on June 11, to be a success. She also directed that dilapidated Anganwadi centres be relocated to nearby vacant government buildings and announced plans to construct 1,000 new Anganwadi buildings, for which land identification should begin immediately. Furthermore, the Minister stated that the Indira Mahila Shakti is a flagship programme of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, and collectors should strive to make one crore women 'crorepatis' (millionaires). She stressed that strengthening women's groups is key to realising the vision of 'Telangana Rising 2047'. Collectors should work to ensure that women's groups establish solar plants and petrol stations, identifying required land immediately and commencing work. With solar plants set to launch on October 2, the Minister asked collectors to focus particularly on achieving this target. Agreements have already been made with solar installation companies district wise, and work on the solar plants should commence in coordination with them. Construction of Indira Mahila Shakti Bhavans in 22 districts should be completed by November, she added, urging expedited work in coordination with Panchayati Raj Engineering Department officials.
