Telangana to Roll Out Nearly 1,000 Electric Buses in Major Push for Sustainable Transport As part of Telangana's ongoing commitment to promoting a greener environment and reducing pollution, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) has placed an order for 1,000 new electric buses. This significant move aims to modernize the state's public transportation system and contribute to cleaner air quality across the region. The introduction of these electric buses will occur gradually, with the buses being deployed in stages. The TGSRTC currently operates its electric bus fleet under the Gross Cost Contract (GCC) model, a system designed to ensure cost efficiency and sustainability. Hyderabad to Benefit from 500 New Electric Buses Out of the total 1,000 electric buses ordered, Hyderabad, the state's bustling capital, is set to receive 500. These buses will play a crucial role in enhancing urban mobility while minimizing the environmental impact of the city's transportation system. The remaining buses will be strategically deployed on high-traffic routes that connect key cities and towns such as Suryapet, Warangal, Nalgonda, Karimnagar, and Nizamabad. This distribution is expected to significantly improve connectivity and reduce congestion on these busy routes. Replacing Diesel Buses and Expanding Rural Access In a further effort to reduce the state's carbon footprint, the new electric buses will replace older diesel buses in several depots, including those at the Hyderabad Central University (HCU) and Hayathnagar. Additionally, some of the existing electric and diesel buses will be reallocated to rural areas where there is increasing demand for reliable public transportation. This initiative not only supports environmental goals but also ensures that rural communities benefit from the latest advancements in public transport technology. Comprehensive EV Charging Infrastructure in the Works To support the operation of the new electric buses, the TGSRTC is also establishing a network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the state. These charging stations are being set up at various strategic locations, including major depots such as Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station (MGBS), Jubilee Bus Station (JBS), Hyderabad Central University (HCU), Hayathnagar-2, Ranigunj, Kukatpally, BHEL, Hyderabad-2, Warangal, Suryapet, Karimnagar-2, and Nizamabad. Each station will be equipped with 20 to 25 charging guns, allowing multiple buses to charge simultaneously. This infrastructure will be crucial in ensuring the efficient operation of the electric bus fleet. Upcoming Launch by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy The new electric buses and the accompanying EV charging stations are expected to be officially launched soon by Telangana's Chief Minister, A. Revanth Reddy. This launch will mark a significant milestone in the state's efforts to embrace sustainable transportation solutions. Currently, the TGSRTC operates a fleet of 100 electric buses, including 49 buses serving the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) route and 10 buses operating between Vijayawada and Hyderabad. The addition of the new buses will further bolster this fleet, solidifying Telangana's position as a leader in sustainable urban transport. Conclusion: A Bold Step Towards a Greener Future Telangana's decision to introduce nearly 1,000 electric buses reflects a bold and forward-thinking approach to public transportation. By investing in electric vehicles and the necessary charging infrastructure, the state is taking significant steps towards reducing its environmental impact and improving the quality of life for its residents. As these buses take to the roads, they will not only reduce emissions but also set a new standard for public transport across the country. Telangana State

Khammam, a region already burdened by the aftermath of severe flooding, was further shaken by violent clashes between the supporters of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Congress during the visit of Minister Harish Rao. The incident, which took place in B.K. Nagar, turned what was supposed to be a routine visit into a battleground, highlighting the deep-rooted political tensions in the area. Escalation of Political Tensions in Khammam The unrest began when Minister Harish Rao, accompanied by key BRS leaders, including Sabitha Indra Reddy, Puvvada Ajay Kumar, and Nama Nageswara Rao, arrived in Khammam to assess the flood damage and offer support to affected residents. However, the visit quickly spiraled out of control as Congress workers, allegedly dissatisfied with the BRS's response to the crisis, confronted the visiting party. Reports suggest that the confrontation escalated into a violent altercation, with Congress workers resorting to stone-pelting. The vehicles of BRS leaders were targeted, resulting in significant damage. Nama Nageswara Rao’s car was particularly hard-hit, and a BRS worker reportedly suffered a leg injury during the chaos. Backdrop of the Incident: Political Rivalry and Unrest The clashes in Khammam are symptomatic of the larger political rivalry between BRS and Congress in the region. The political landscape has been increasingly volatile, especially in the wake of the recent floods that have devastated parts of Khammam. The flooding of Munneru River, exacerbated by continuous heavy rainfall, has left many residents in dire straits, triggering a wave of political accusations and counter-accusations. Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao’s administration, represented by BRS, has faced criticism from Congress, particularly from its leader Revanth Reddy, for what they describe as a lackluster response to the disaster. Revanth Reddy visited the flood-affected areas days before the BRS leaders, promising aid and criticizing the ruling party for its perceived inaction. This criticism set the stage for the heightened tensions that culminated in the violent clashes during Harish Rao’s visit. Response from BRS Leaders: Condemnation and Accusations In the aftermath of the violence, BRS leaders, including K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), condemned the attack, labeling it as an act of desperation by Congress. KTR expressed his outrage, describing the incident as an assault on democracy and a clear indicator of Congress's inability to tolerate the presence of their political opponents in the region. KTR stated, “Is it our fault that we stand by the people when they are in need? If you fail to serve the people, attacking those who do is disgraceful. The Congress party and its leaders must be held accountable for this violence. No matter how many attacks are carried out, BRS will continue to serve the people. The public is well aware of Congress’s ineffective leadership, and they will certainly teach them a lesson at the right time.” Implications for Future Political Campaigns in Khammam The incident has further polarized the political atmosphere in Khammam, raising concerns about the safety of political campaigns and visits in the future. Authorities have ramped up security measures in the region to prevent any further outbreaks of violence, but the situation remains tense. The violent confrontation in Khammam underscores the fragile nature of political alliances and rivalries in Telangana, particularly in regions affected by natural disasters. As both parties seek to capitalize on the ongoing crisis, the potential for further clashes cannot be ruled out. Ongoing Investigations and Security Measures In response to the violence, law enforcement agencies have launched an investigation to identify the individuals responsible for the attack. Additional police forces have been deployed to maintain order, and the situation is being closely monitored by the local administration. Authorities have urged both parties to exercise restraint and focus on addressing the needs of the flood-affected population rather than engaging in political skirmishes. However, with the state elections approaching, the political stakes are high, and such incidents could become more frequent as rival parties vie for dominance. Conclusion: A Divided Khammam Amid Political Turmoil The violent clashes in Khammam serve as a stark reminder of the deep political divisions in the region. As BRS and Congress continue to blame each other for the violence, the people of Khammam remain caught in the crossfire. The incident not only highlights the volatility of the current political climate but also raises questions about the future of governance in a region that is already grappling with the devastating impact of natural disasters. For Khammam, the need for political unity and effective governance has never been more critical. The ongoing investigations and the response of both parties in the coming days will play a significant role in shaping the future political landscape of this troubled region. Telangana State

The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has recently issued a stringent set of 25 guidelines for students appearing for the Higher Secondary Examination. Among these rules, the council has strongly emphasized that any student who writes offensive or inappropriate content, including political slogans, on their answer sheets may face severe consequences, including the cancellation of their examination results. This measure underscores the council's commitment to maintaining the integrity and seriousness of the examination process. Consequences of Inappropriate Content in Answer Sheets The guidelines clearly state that any inappropriate or indecent content written on the answer sheets will lead to the cancellation of the particular answer sheet. Furthermore, if a student's response is found to be unsatisfactory, the entire examination could be invalidated. The council's firm stance on this issue highlights the importance of maintaining decorum and adhering to academic standards during the examination process. Strict Measures for Examination Malpractices The WBCHSE guidelines also address various forms of examination malpractices. For instance, if a student writes incorrect personal information, such as the wrong name or registration number, or if they leave the examination hall with the answer sheet, they will face disciplinary action. Additionally, if a student is caught assisting another candidate by sharing their answer sheet or if any form of cheating material, such as notes or money, is found attached to the answer sheet, the student's examination could be annulled. Routine Instructions with Significant Implications While the council has clarified that these instructions are routine and have been issued in the past, the context in which they have been released has raised questions. Given the recent socio-political climate, particularly the protests and unrest following incidents at RG Kar Hospital, some observers have speculated that the council's directives may be influenced by a desire to prevent political expressions from entering the examination process. Examination Cancellation and Evaluation Procedures The council has outlined a thorough process for dealing with violations of these guidelines. If a student writes irrelevant political slogans or comments in their answer sheets, a committee specifically formed to prevent irregularities will review the case. The committee will invite the student to explain their actions. If the committee members are satisfied with the student's explanation, no further action will be taken. However, if the committee finds the explanation unsatisfactory, the evaluation of the concerned answer sheet may be canceled, and in severe cases, the student's entire examination may be invalidated. Upcoming Higher Secondary Examinations The WBCHSE has announced that the Higher Secondary Examination for the upcoming academic year will be conducted using the semester system. The exams are scheduled to begin on March 3, 2025, and will conclude on March 18, 2025. The council has also released the examination routine and syllabus for the 2025 exams, which can be accessed on the official WBCHSE website. Importance of Adhering to Examination Guidelines The guidelines issued by the WBCHSE serve as a reminder of the importance of maintaining discipline and adhering to the rules during examinations. Students are advised to focus on their studies and avoid engaging in any activities that could jeopardize their academic future. The council's firm stance on inappropriate content and examination malpractices aims to ensure a fair and transparent examination process for all students. By following these guidelines, students can avoid unnecessary complications and ensure that their hard work and dedication are reflected in their examination results. As the academic landscape evolves, the WBCHSE continues to uphold the standards of excellence and integrity that define the Higher Secondary Examination process in West Bengal. NEWS

The Passport Seva Portal will be temporarily unavailable for five days due to scheduled technical maintenance. Starting from August 29, 2024, citizens, as well as various authorities, will be unable to access the portal. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what this means for you. Temporary Downtime for Passport Seva Portal The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has announced that the Passport Seva Portal, a critical online platform for Indian citizens, will be down for maintenance from August 29, 2024, at 8:00 PM IST until September 2, 2024, at 6:00 AM IST. During this period, the portal will not be accessible to citizens or any affiliated agencies, including the MEA, Regional Passport Offices (RPOs), Bureau of Immigration (BOI), India Security Press (ISP), Department of Posts (DoP), and police authorities. Impact on Scheduled Appointments If you had an appointment scheduled for August 30, 2024, rest assured that it will be rescheduled. The MEA has confirmed that all affected appointments will be adjusted, and applicants will be notified of the new dates. The inconvenience is a necessary step to ensure that the system operates smoothly once it’s back online. Why the Maintenance is Necessary The Passport Seva Portal is a vital resource for millions of Indian citizens who rely on it for passport-related services, including fresh issuance, renewals, and other miscellaneous services. Regular maintenance is essential to enhance the platform's security, performance, and user experience. This downtime will allow the technical team to implement critical updates and ensure that the portal continues to serve its purpose effectively. How to Prepare for the Downtime If you need to use the Passport Seva Portal, it's advisable to complete any urgent tasks before the scheduled downtime. Here’s a quick guide on how to book your appointment online: Register on the Passport Seva Portal: Visit the official website at passportindia.gov.in and create an account.

This early restoration of services is a testament to the efficiency and dedication of the technical team working behind the scenes. Beware of Fraudulent Websites The Ministry of External Affairs has issued a warning about fraudulent websites and mobile applications that pose as official passport service providers. These malicious entities often collect personal data from unsuspecting applicants and charge hefty fees for filling out forms or scheduling appointments. Some of the fake websites include: www.indiapassport.org www.online-passportindia.com www.passportindiaportal.in www.passport-india.in www.passport-seva.in www.applypassport.org Applicants are advised to avoid these sites and refrain from making any payments on them.

By staying informed and vigilant, citizens can avoid potential scams and ensure a smooth experience when applying for or renewing their passports.

Unprecedented Flooding in Mokila: Impact on Residents and the Urgent Need for Government Intervention Introduction In recent days, Mokila, a suburban area in Telangana, has been severely affected by continuous heavy rains. The torrential downpour has led to severe flooding, impacting the roads and inundating residential areas, particularly the upscale villa communities. The situation has reached a critical point, with residents expressing deep concerns over the flooding and the subsequent health and safety risks. The Flooding Crisis in Mokila Over the past two days, incessant rains have turned Mokila into a virtual flood zone. The area’s roads are submerged under water, and the drainage systems have overflowed, leading to waterlogging in several villa communities. The situation has become dire as water has not only flooded the streets but also entered many homes, causing significant distress to residents. The Plight of Villa Residents Many residents of Mokila's villas, who have invested crores in purchasing these properties, are now grappling with a harsh reality. The villas, once considered a symbol of luxury, are now facing severe flooding. This has left the residents in a state of confusion and frustration, unsure of how to respond to the crisis. The question on everyone's mind is: How do we get out of this situation? Struggles of the Residents Since the onset of the rains, the residents of Mokila have been trapped in their homes, unable to venture out due to the flooded streets. The situation is particularly challenging for families with young children, as they have been confined to their homes for the past 24 hours. The flooding has caused significant disruptions, with residents unable to access basic necessities like groceries and medical supplies. The Underlying Issues: Poor Infrastructure and Drainage Systems The flooding in Mokila is not just a result of the heavy rains but also of poor infrastructure planning. The area's drainage systems are inadequate to handle the volume of water, leading to severe waterlogging. The construction of new communities in the surrounding areas has also exacerbated the problem. These new constructions have altered the natural flow of stormwater, causing water to stagnate in certain areas, particularly in the older villa communities. Voices from the Community Residents have voiced their concerns and frustrations over the flooding, highlighting the negligence of developers and local authorities. They point out that the stormwater pipes were not properly laid out, leading to the current crisis. Despite repeated complaints to the government and relevant authorities, no substantial action has been taken to address the issue. One resident, speaking on behalf of the community, mentioned that they had held multiple meetings with government officials, including the irrigation department and the developers of the new communities. However, these meetings have not resulted in any concrete solutions, leaving the residents to deal with the consequences. The Health Risks and Safety Concerns The flooding has not only disrupted daily life but also posed significant health risks. The mixing of drainage water with floodwater has created an unsanitary environment, with the potential for waterborne diseases. Additionally, the flooding has caused short circuits in electrical junction boxes, leading to power outages and increasing the risk of electrical hazards. The Call for Immediate Government Intervention The residents of Mokila are calling for urgent government intervention to address the flooding crisis. They demand that the government take responsibility for the inadequate infrastructure and work towards finding a long-term solution. This includes proper stormwater management, improved drainage systems, and coordination with developers to ensure that future constructions do not exacerbate the problem. Conclusion The situation in Mokila highlights the critical need for better urban planning and infrastructure development. As heavy rains are expected to continue over the next few days, the residents are bracing for further challenges. The government and local authorities must act swiftly to address the immediate needs of the residents and prevent such crises from occurring in the future. The flooding in Mokila serves as a stark reminder of the importance of sustainable development and the need for proactive measures to mitigate the impact of natural disasters. The residents, who have invested heavily in their homes, deserve a prompt and effective response to ensure their safety and well-being. Telangana State
