A local report says Jurala opened its canals and lifts on July 29 with cusec counts for each scheme. The Congress government in Telangana has yet to publish the order, the log, or even the day’s storage — but it did find 27,199 cusecs to push downstream for power.
TSLPRB drops four notifications for police and allied services: 7,437 posts across Police, Special Protection Force, Fire and Prisons. Dates later; documents ready now.
A Hyderabad police-academy trainee faces a sexual‑harassment case filed by a woman batchmate. A local daily reports a 14‑day remand; primary orders are not yet public.
Supreme Court okays animated film Mahaprabhu Jagannath for an all‑India release after Rath Yatra; on July 28, the temple administration knocked again and Odisha said it asked CBFC to review the certificate. Telugu version is certified; actual post‑July 28 release isn’t established in the record we have.
Entries for IFFI 2026 are live — Indian Panorama plus a ₹10 lakh Best Web Series award that’s been around since 2023. Telugu teams have a hard 6 p.m., 10 August clock.
Trade puts The Odyssey at ₹122.59 crore net in India after 12 days — the first Hollywood title of 2026 to cross ₹100 crore here, according to trackers. Not audited, not studio filings; still a number the spin machines in Delhi can’t take credit for.
Telangana has restarted Link‑II pumping from Yellampalli through Nandi and Gayatri towards Mid Manair — a workable route the Congress government could run without touching the damaged Medigadda link it keeps citing. The drought did not wait for talking points.
Delhi terror case appellants were listed in Supreme Court; a report now says they got bail after nearly 12 years in custody. Until the order shows up, that’s a claim, not a fact.
Gen Z sat 36 days at Jantar Mantar. The BJP-led Centre waited 36 days — then let Dharmendra Pradhan go. Now, per a report, even inside the BJP the line is: we stretched it and showed the cracks. Telangana students were watching; the message was heard in every exam hall.
BJP accuses Congress chief Kharge’s family over a KIADB land allotment. The documents? Still missing. Telangana’s interest here is simple: when the Congress runs Karnataka, water policy isn’t the only thing that needs sunlight.
Multiple outlets report the Peddi star had right-wrist surgery in Coimbatore led by Dr S. Rajasekaran; rehab before return to sets, no official word yet on schedules.
BRS’s RS Praveen Kumar says the Congress government cut his cover without showing its homework, and warns of a court fight. Courts say security follows threat, not favour — which makes the missing criteria the whole question.
A report says day two of heavy rain slowed key stretches across the city, with waterlogging near ongoing works. The numbers are the report’s — agencies have not published theirs.
Report says 300 kg seized near Hyderabad and two arrested. Until a lab says what it is and a police note says who did what, this is an allegation, not a racket.
Supreme Court strikes down the Union environment ministry’s 2021 office memo that let violators seek ‘ex post facto’ clearances. Prospective only: past ECs largely left standing; no more applications under the 2017 route. If Delhi wants a backdoor, it needs a law door.
YSRCP takes the Mega DSC-2025 fight to the streets; the TDP government says all is spotless. The court record says at least the merit math wasn’t.
Andhra’s TDP government waves off DSC-2025 allegations as “false propaganda” and threatens cases. What it has not shown Telangana — or its own candidates — is the independent order that actually settles them.
HMWSSB scheduled a one-day shutdown on the 1,600‑mm Krishna main at Uppal from 10 am July 27 to 10 am July 28. The work was “as per schedule”, the Board said — but it has not published a completion or full-restoration note.
AICC huddled Telangana Congress in Delhi on July 27 over infighting and discipline, and fixed a coordination meet for July 29. A Telugu report claims Mallikarjun Kharge rebuffed a “report” from CM Revanth Reddy — an allegation no one on record has confirmed.
Revanth Reddy says Telangana will push to cut the candidacy age for MLAs/MPs from 25 to 21. The Constitution still says 25. The BJP-led Centre hasn’t stirred.
