Telangana farmer grows Rudraksha tree

The Supreme Court on Thursday permitted the Delhi Forest Department to remove invasive tree species from the Central Ridge, subject to strict compliance with the approved Delhi Eco-Restoration Plan 2026-30 and oversight by the Delhi Ridge Management Board. A bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant also stayed contempt proceedings initiated by the Delhi High Court over alleged violations of its directions concerning construction, clearing, excavation and tree removal in the Ridge.

Bollarum Police have registered a case against Mahesh, Public Relations Officer (PRO) to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President KT Rama Rao, for allegedly obstructing and assaulting police officers performing preventive law and order duties.

A political controversy has erupted over an alleged land issue linked to former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and his family, with Congress leaders putting up flex banners at major flyover junctions across the city.

The initiative was launched in collaboration with the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and coincided with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 76th birthday.

Addressing the state-level celebrations of 'Praja Palana Dinotsavam' (People's Governance Day) at the Public Gardens in Hyderabad, the Chief Minister said that while the country gained independence on August 15, 1947, the people of Telangana had to wage a relentless battle against the oppression of the Nizam's regime and the atrocities of the Razakars to attain their freedom and democratic rights.
