At a Malkajgiri protest, BRS’s T Harish Rao said Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy should quit over private properties allegedly landing on the Section 22A prohibited list. He wants a probe, a white paper and fixes — now.
Nani’s next is officially August 21, 2026. A public calendar says September 24, and a single trade piece floats September 25. The makers haven’t moved it — on the record, anyway.
IMDb records August 14 releases for India, Germany and a limited US run. The banner’s own post had said July. The “worldwide” bit can wait for an actual announcement.
A local report says farmers in Wyra pushed for irrigation water from the reservoir and got a gate raised after a dharna. The paper’s account names the SI and the DE; the release still needs an irrigation log, which the Congress-run administration hasn’t bothered to put in public.
Telangana’s prohibited‑properties list has errors the government now says it will correct. The legal basis exists, the portal exists — the apology and numbers are, for now, one report’s account. The BJP‑led Centre and its admirers can sit this one out: Section 22‑A is state law, and cleaning our own records is our job — which means publishing them, not just saying sorry.
Farmers back Karimnagar Dairy, say Bhu Bharati shows their land shifted to a ‘Federation’. The Congress-run state hasn’t bothered to explain how, why, or by what order.

Protests across Telangana pressed the Congress government to say, on the record, what it plans for Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak. The budget funds the schemes; the silence does not.
Telangana’s draft electoral rolls under the Special Intensive Revision are live. A report quoting the state CEO pegs 2.648 crore forms received and 92 lakh records flagged for scrutiny. The official table that explains those buckets is still not public.
BRS tells High Court the Speaker looked only inside the House and missed the defections happening in full public view outside it. The case resumes after an adjournment — and the Congress government’s beneficiaries still haven’t explained how a Congress B‑form isn’t, well, Congress.
Home World Championships, opening day: PV Sindhu cruised; Ayush Shetty sent top seed Shi Yuqi out. Telangana’s star is through, and Delhi can keep its photo-ops — the badminton did the talking.
The sequel’s buzz is real. The weekend number doing the rounds isn’t — not yet on any record that counts.
Nani–Srikanth Odela’s The Paradise keeps its August 21 card on the table — because the makers put it there and haven’t taken it back on the record. A lone June whisper says otherwise, without receipts.
The US president reportedly told Fox News he’d “bomb the s--- out of” Oman if it “gets in the way” on the Strait of Hormuz — a sequel to his May line that Oman must “behave” or be “blown up.” Oman says it’s facilitating safe navigation, not trying to “control” anything.
Hyderabad’s “anomalies” stack up in the draft voter roll under the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision. That’s a verification queue, not a purge — and the timeline to fix errors is on the ECI’s own calendar, not a party’s slogan.
Students and SFI rallied in Nalgonda against a plan the Telangana government floated in 2024 to bring polytechnics under Young India Skill University. Two years on, SBTET still runs 2026 admissions — the change, if any, isn’t on paper yet.
A Kangan family says the J&K police took 7 kanals 18 marlas in 1953 without acquisition. The High Court called it “dead”; the Supreme Court has been hearing the challenge. A report says the Court has now ordered compensation and rentals — the signed order isn’t public yet.
A report says the state has withdrawn the 30‑year lease of Urdu Academy land to a private firm through GO 23. The order itself isn’t on the public record yet.
