Five acres, many questions. Answers, CM?

BRS leaders say a June 2025 allotment of five acres at Raviryala to Tesseract Advanced Systems needs the Lokayukta’s eye. The BJP will shout “family”, the TDP will echo — but the file is with the Congress-run state, and that is where the answers sit.

Court to FSSAI: four weeks, not four years

The Supreme Court wasn’t buying FSSAI’s dithering on front‑of‑pack nutrition rules back in February. It told the food regulator to come back in four weeks. We’re still waiting for Delhi to decide if the packet should say what’s in it.

HC wants orders; Congress wants time
