Hyderabad gets what Delhi loves to claim: an actual R&D site. Amgen’s own job posts confirm a Genome Valley laboratory operation; a local report says a new Science and Innovation Centre joins a seven-lab global network. The Centre can keep counting summits — Telangana is counting benches and BSL-2 hoods.
A single report says a Warangal resident stranded in Muscat returned after K.T. Rama Rao’s intervention. The embassy database shows such repatriations happen — this specific case isn’t listed there yet.
A claim doing the rounds says Warangal’s PM MITRA Park has ₹3,800 crore in “investment interest”. The Lok Sabha’s own earlier answer says ₹3,862 crore — and ₹42,491 crore nationally, not ₹68,590 crore. The BJP‑led Centre has plenty of slogans for textile revival; the paperwork can start with consistent figures.
A report leapt from slow digitisation to mass deletion. The record, including the CEO’s own line, doesn’t go that far — and Hyderabad’s “missing” count already crashed after verification last month.
A report claims 1,969 ‘government schools’ vanished in 2025–26. The UDISE+ totals don’t back that arithmetic — and Telangana’s own pages list three different totals. If Delhi wants to run the numbers, it can start by publishing the table.
No, it didn’t order a one‑year finish. It warned that might be “far‑fetched”, and told the Union to get serious about exclusive NIA courts so trials can actually move.
The High Court keeps asking for lake records. Departments keep not having them. Telangana’s lakes don’t have time for the Congress-led dithering.
KTR flags Raidurg PPP terms; wants the BJP-led Centre to freeze funds and probe. The Congress government in Telangana hasn’t bothered to explain the deal.
A report says NIMS will start free paediatric heart surgeries on August 13. The director’s appointment is on record; the programme is not.
SFI says ₹10,814 crore in scholarships and fee reimbursement is pending; plans August 13 protests. The Congress government in Telangana promised students relief; the court timeline now says July 31 and August 15. Students can’t pay bills with promises.
A report says Telangana lost 1,961 “elementary” schools in a year. The Union’s own answer points to UDISE+ data — up to 2024–25. The 2025–26 table and the “closures” claim aren’t on the record yet.
Earlier High Court orders on the Salkam Cheruvu encroachment fight are on record. The “fresh contempt” noise doing the rounds? So far, just a Reddit post with no case number, no order, no bench, no signatures.
A report says residents along Bapughat–Gandipet were summoned to “meetings” with no notices. The law requires consultation on the record; the file so far is a website and a phone number.
A BJP MP alleged a sweetheart land allotment to a firm linked to CM Revanth Reddy’s brother. Documents? None shown. Public records confirm the company exists and claims aerospace work — which complicates the “shell” line.
Parliament’s own record has the BJP-led Centre telling Telangana to wait on Palamuru–Rangareddy — appraisal halted as Krishna issues are “sub judice”, DPR sent back in December 2024.
From September 9, Washington will charge a “9/11 biometric fee” every time an Indian engineer renews the very same job they've held for years. The employer pays — but it's the diaspora that feels it.
Court has been asking for answers on Salkam Cheruvu. The state showed a finalised FTL map and claimed the campus isn’t inside it. The rumoured contempt notices doing the rounds? Not backed by a court order yet.
Vacancy lists and orders are up for 2026; whether posts were actually filled is the part the files don’t show.
A Bollywood report says the Delhi High Court granted Tabu an ex-parte injunction against AI deepfakes and ordered platforms to take down links. The court order itself isn’t publicly traceable yet.
Police say 22 arrested tied to call centres targeting Telangana; links claimed to 22 cybercrime cases. Details, FIRs and seizure memos not yet published.
