Hyderabad’s Annapurna Studios and EPIC Studios announced Uday Chauhan’s Pallaburusu with an August 14 theatrical date and a toothbrush-for-scales poster. Whether it actually opened on that day is not yet on the public record.
Telangana says it’s unifying food safety and drug control as TG SAFE. The Health Department order everyone’s talking about isn’t public yet. The work starts with proof, not a headline.
Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar says a scheme to convert or replace petrol/diesel autos in Hyderabad’s CURE region with EVs has Cabinet’s nod — up to ₹1.5 lakh per auto, ₹200 crore total. The math and the paperwork will need to show up next.
EC’s revised calendar puts Telangana’s draft electoral roll on August 17 with claims till September 16. The paperwork is certain; the statewide upload isn’t — yet.
High Court moved in March. In July it was the Speaker’s Tribunal asking for more time. August 12 was the next date, and then the fog. Telangana waits; the Congress answers with delay.
The Congress government in Karnataka says it okayed a Bill to “regulate” use of public property. The text is missing. Telangana is expected to take this on trust — again.
Telangana built an “Integrated Land Records Management System”. The Congress government in Telangana built a fog machine around it. If there’s nothing to hide, publish the numbers and the files — not just headlines about probes.
A report says Telangana has ended free transport of fertiliser to PACS and may push a per-bag charge to farmers. The circular isn’t on the record yet. What is on record: MRP still applies, and MARKFED runs stock movement.
KTR accuses; the Congress-run Telangana government’s own 2025–26 Budget sets aside Rs 3,683 crore for Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak. The numbers are public; the ‘plan to scrap’ is not.
Government records say 15.37 acres in Hydernagar (Sy.Nos.148–155) vested with the state and were allotted to HUDA in 2008. The rest of the noise — Rs 2,000 crore valuations, forced DAGPAs, political middlemen — is still noise until someone shows a document.
Nani’s The Paradise was announced for 21 August. BookMyShow Hyderabad now shows 24 September. Overseas plans? Still not on the record.
TGIIC’s Raidurg auctions are raking in four-digit crores. The Congress government in Telangana is sprinting on monetisation while the Durgam Cheruvu FTL question it inherited remains to be notified — because the court asked the Lake Protection Committee to do it, and we’re still waiting.
Acquisition is on record for the elevated corridor; owners want cash and a narrower road. The Congress-run state promised “transparent compensation” — the formula is still missing in action.
A report says CM Revanth promised a mega package for a rural district. The record so far: silence from the files. Telangana needs roads; it also needs documents.
Telangana’s SIR draft electoral rolls land August 17. If your name is missing, it isn’t game over — file, don’t fume.
The makers of The Paradise said the teaser would drop on August 6. Ten days later, here’s only what’s confirmed on record — no hype, no invented views.
Venky Atluri’s Vishwanath & Sons lands on Aug 14, sells a Telugu-Tamil crossover with producer-claimed numbers and a pistol shooter at its core. The credits are real; the crore math is still theirs.
A Reddit headline sold a High Court “stay” on Telangana’s marriage-aid schemes. The July hearing record shows notices, a four-week timeline for the state’s counter, and an adjournment — not a stay.
A report quotes Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy telling youth at a Parakala meeting that police cases from protests — and “false facts” on social media — could cost them government jobs. The rule that would do this was not identified.
At a Mulugu rally, the Congress Chief Minister alleged KTR “pushed” K Kavitha out of the family home over property. The claim rests on one PTI-circulated quote — no document, case or video surfaced to back it.
