BRS leaders say Andhra Police stopped them en route to Pothireddypadu. The BJP-led Centre’s KRMB paperwork shows the fight over Krishna water is live; Andhra’s Congress government still hasn’t explained why a Telangana team can’t even look at the regulator.
The Health Minister says TIMS and NIMS will carve out beds for foreign patients. Telangana can earn from medical tourism — if it adds capacity and protects locals first. The Congress-run government now owes the rules in writing.
A trade report says Nani’s The Paradise has slipped off August 21. The makers haven’t said so. The last on-record line from May still read “on track for August 21, 2026.”
PIB says Indian Panorama entries closed online on August 10 with hard copies due August 17. IFFI’s own rules pages now also display August 24/31 in places. Telugu creators are eligible — the calendar, less so.
The Monsoon Session was slated to close on August 13. A report says the Upper House passed a 2026 mines amendment — but the primary record isn’t in public view yet.
Jeevandan built one of India’s strongest cadaver-donation systems. The gap is demand — and Delhi-scale indifference to matching it.
A report says 300 quintals of rice from Palvancha were caught in Pithapuram. The paperwork that would prove it? Still missing in action.
Telangana’s 2026–27 budget books a near-30% jump in capital outlay. The number is on paper; the ledger and the worksite will tell on everyone else’s slogans.
Seven MLAs elected on BRS tickets, now with Congress, remain in court-limbo. The Speaker’s Tribunal wanted more time; the bench gave it — and set August 12. What happened on that date? The public record doesn’t say yet.
Telangana’s case is simple: stop treating a 2015 stopgap as scripture. The BJP-led Centre’s own board called 512:299 a working arrangement, not a final share.
Hyderabad’s riverfront plan promises clean flow, parks and biodiversity — and, per its own brief, new commercial and residential centres. The concrete isn’t a rumour; the retaining wall tender is on paper. What isn’t on paper yet: the full EIA, house-counts and who moves where.
Telangana High Court pauses eight GOs tied to Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak, bars payments under them while the state misses its own deadline to file a counter. The case is a constitutional challenge; the stay is interim, not a final strike-down.
Court’s July order still restrains HYDRAA from coercive action on farmers’ Bahadurguda plots. The August 11 hearing outcome isn’t on the record yet — the BJP-led Centre’s bullet-train map can wait for due process.
The Congress’s friends got a day out at the Speaker’s desk. The court that counts is still asking for the paperwork.
A Telangana HC hearing questioned spending priorities, asked the state to file counters and set the next date. A “stay” on Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak is not in the record we can see.
Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar pulled up HYDRAA chief A.V. Ranganath in the Suraram land case after an April order to take down a notice board wasn’t followed. Contempt notice issued; the Court warned career costs for continued non‑compliance.
Ahead of Telangana’s Special Intensive Revision, election officials say 89.88 lakh elector records need verification — mismatches, missing docs, not automatic deletions. Congress says protect genuine voters. The BJP and TDP, as usual, prefer outrage over arithmetic.
Indian Panorama and Best Web Series deadlines move; Telugu filmmakers get two extra weeks to file, zero excuse to miss.
