The Supreme Court has reportedly told the RBI to draft and circulate a standard operating procedure on mule accounts within four weeks, alongside faster rollout of existing cyber-fraud grievance and money-restoration systems. The Centre says those modules already exist; the Court appears to be saying: use them, everywhere, now.
TSLPRB has notified 7,112 constables and 275 SIs. BRS MLA D. Sudheer Reddy says the Congress government is ducking 19,000 vacancies and wants fixes to age limits, fees and a long-jump rule. The 19,000 is his claim until the DGP’s paper shows up.
A report says H-FAST seized 25 tonnes of adulterated spices and 89 tonnes of raw material in Balapur and Mailardevpally. The paperwork that would prove it isn’t public yet.
A reported fatal crash in Yousufguda has put underage driving back in the frame. The law already lets police hit guardians and owners with jail, fines and RC cancellation. The question isn’t powers — it’s using them, consistently.
Defence Ministry says DRDO designed an expendable turbojet; Hyderabad’s Azad Engineering made and assembled it, and handed it over on July 22.
August 2026 to start, December 2027 to finish — the Musi plan has a calendar and a price. What it does not have in public view yet: the clearances, contracts or financing that make calendars real.
DBT fee reimbursement now has a calendar and a High Court clock. Students are still waiting for the part that counts: deposits hitting accounts.
At a Kodangal meet, the CM alleged the BJP and BRS are plotting to scrub Congress votes during the Special Intensive Revision. The ECI says SIR is meant to add eligible voters and weed out ineligible ones. Proof of a conspiracy? Not published yet.
Telangana High Court issues notices to the Speaker and seven MLAs over petitions saying they moved from BRS to Congress. The court hasn’t ruled on disqualification yet; the Congress side has been taking its time with counters, and the clock keeps getting reset.
KTR sets up a booth-to-state rebuild, digital membership and cadre training. The BJP gets no alliance, the Congress gets no answers, and 2028 suddenly looks less like a coronation and more like homework.
Baltimore’s 2026 American Telugu Association convention advertised film-song contests, cinema-linked judges and a live concert — part of a bigger diaspora meet about culture, youth and business. What it did not publish: who actually showed up, who judged, or how many came.
Shiva Nirvana directs, Mythri produces. The makers have put a date on it; the rest of the August ‘race’ stays trade chatter until someone shows a calendar.
Irumudi locks August 21 on the record. The Paradise was on that date too — until trade buzz said it wasn’t. The makers haven’t said so themselves.
A report says only 61.85% of Medchal–Malkajgiri’s electorate is digitised eight days before the SIR deadline, and projects “about 70%” coverage — then waves a “10 lakh-plus” drop. That last leap needs evidence, not vibes.
A July 6 “no coercive action” shield lasted four days. The case is now to be heard with the Salkam Cheruvu PIL; what happened on August 3 isn’t on the public record yet.
ECI’s house-to-house push ends today. The timetable is firm; the final count isn’t public yet. Telangana voters can still fix missing names with Form 6 from August 1, the CEO said.

BRS’s Harish Rao has reportedly served legal notices to two Congress functionaries over claims that he performed “tantric” rituals to stop the rain. The notices demand withdrawal, apologies on the same platforms, takedown of videos, and warn of civil and criminal action if ignored. The Congress leaders have yet to answer on the record.
Singareni’s Prakasham Khani opencast at Manuguru is an existing mine with an approved expansion — not a freshly awarded 120‑million‑tonne block. The paperwork says so; the hype does not.
