Sharmila Dhankar wins women’s F57 shot put gold at Glasgow 2026 with 9.81m — India’s first-ever Commonwealth Games para-athletics gold. Shilpa K Shyla takes bronze after review; Valluri Ajaya Babu lifts weightlifting silver in men’s 79kg.
YSRCP shouts leak, TDP swears “transparent”; documents are thin, decibels are not. Telangana has seen this movie — rules, records and audits beat press mikes every time.
Producer Dil Raju’s latest “numbers talk” has the industry buzzing — not for a record, for an admission: the poster math is for fans, the real math sits with producers. The numbers have authors. Auditors? Not in the material anyone’s shown yet.
Telangana rolls out a digital Family Register to standardise proof of family composition. The BJP calls it an “illegal vote-bank shield” during SIR — without showing a petition, a clause or a single name. The ECI, meanwhile, already lists a government family register as an indicative SIR document.
Revanth Reddy asked the BJP-led Centre for 11.56 lakh PMAY-G rural houses and to fold Indiramma works into the new VB-G RAM-G jobs framework. The Union government has not produced a sanction, a fund release or a timeline.
Telangana BJP chief N. Ramchander Rao alleged Congress, BRS and AIMIM ‘sheltered illegal vote banks’ and called the state’s Family Register ‘completely illegal’, tying it to the Election Commission’s SIR roll scrutiny. The evidence he offered: a post. The ECI’s own note defines SIR as an electoral-roll exercise; the state’s card plan is for welfare delivery.
Team says six–eight weeks’ rest for a shoulder injury; no word of a schedule change for Dragon’s June 11, 2027 date.
Telangana High Court told the Chief Secretary to relieve HYDRAA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath and find a replacement, during contempt proceedings tied to a 40-acre Lothkunta land dispute. No government order relieving him was on record as of Tuesday.
Telangana High Court tells HYDRAA to restore a Kukatpally site it moved on despite earlier protection; judges flag a ‘recurring pattern’. Due process is not optional, even when Delhi’s favourite law-and-order cosplay says it is.
The BJP-led Centre dropped Dharmendra Pradhan after the Jantar Mantar agitation — the exam leaks, police questions and student demands are still on its desk.
HMWSSB flagged a day-long shutdown for junction works on the Krishna Phase‑II Ring Main‑2 to make way for Uppal flyover activity. Plan ahead was the advice; an audited after-action update was not on offer.
State-level warning for heavy rain today and tomorrow; thunderstorms and strong surface winds also on the IMD board.
BRS wants the lease put on ice and probed. The Congress government has not bothered to explain why a private builder gets three decades on Academy land on a BOT — or who authorised it.
From polio at two to a 9.81m season-best in Glasgow, Sharmila Dhankar wins women’s F57 shot put and writes India into Commonwealth Games para-athletics history. The medal is recorded; the rest she tells in her own words.
At a Delhi presser, K.T. Rama Rao vowed to scrap HYDRAA on “day one” if BRS returns, calling it the Congress regime’s blunt instrument. The court record has already put HYDRAA on a short leash; the budget shows it’s very much a state body.
MRDCL’s Mir Alam Tank bridge is on the books with piling kit hired and a Rs 304.36 crore tag. An inspection this week asked HMWSSB to map sewage and keep filth out of the lake. The progress numbers? Claimed in a report, not yet on an official page.
HMWSSB has announced a planned 24-hour interruption on Krishna Phase-II Ring Main-2 to shift a 1,600-mm line for Uppal Junction flyover works. Stock up; this one is on the schedule, not the rumour mill.
Hyderabad district will auction vacant commercial shops in GHMC-built 2BHK colonies on July 31 and August 1. The notice calls it Phase-II and says “as is where is.” The fine print — how many shops, where, and at what reserve — is not on the page.
A special song in Srikanth Odela’s The Paradise is being talked up. The makers haven’t said a word.
Koimoi tagged Nagabandham a “FLOP” off numbers it says are estimates it hasn’t verified. Telangana cinema can live with verdicts — audited ones, preferably.
