Suriya lands in Telugu, on Aug 14
Vishwanath & Sons released on August 14 with a Telugu version listed. Bilingual bravado can wait for an actual confirmation.

MBBS is 4½ years. Stop billing 5.
Telangana’s own record says the internship isn’t a tuition year. Private colleges trying a fifth-year bill have a problem — with the law, not just with students.

Fee dues “gone”? GO says pay up
CM pitched DBT to students from 2026–27. The government’s own order says pre-2026–27 dues to colleges still have to be settled — and told the High Court it would start doing that by July 31 and August 15. The BJP-led Centre isn’t in this fight; Telangana is, and students shouldn’t be the collateral for someone else’s spin.

Autos to EVs: big claim, small paper trail
A report says Telangana okayed a Rs 200 crore push to convert Hyderabad’s autos to electric with up to Rs 1.5 lakh per vehicle. The budget page is live; the scheme isn’t on it yet.

TIMS Sanathnagar: third time lucky?
A report says Chief Minister Revanth Reddy will cut the ribbon at MCR TIMS, Sanathnagar, on August 17 — after an Ugadi launch that didn’t happen and an earlier date that slid. The numbers flying around still need documents, not drumrolls.
Analysis
HC wants orders; Congress wants time
Telangana High Court has told the Speaker and Congress-backed MLAs to file their replies and produce the original dismissal orders in the BRS disqualification batch. The BJP-led Centre is nowhere in this fight; the Congress in Hyderabad is very much in it — and stalling helps them.
Analysis
TIMS gets 50 ‘intl’ beds. Where’s the plan?
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.

Musi fix or mall strip? Read the tender
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.
Analysis
HC hits pause at Bahadurguda
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.
News
HC to HYDRAA: obey, then talk
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.

Hyderabad gets Spidey first — reportedly
Allu Cinemas in Kokapet hosted an invite-only Spider‑Man: Brand New Day premiere on July 29, a day before India’s general release. The “India’s first screening” tag comes via Allu Aravind — and Hyderabad won the bragging rights either way.

Musi ‘consults’, keeps the map shut
Officials say the Musi plan now hurts fewer homes. Residents asked to trust a DPR they still haven’t been shown. Telangana’s project, Congress’s opacity.

Azamabad file moves; proof doesn’t
A report alleges a prime Azamabad parcel near RTC Crossroads is being carved up for a private mill for ₹87.44 crore. The public record, so far, confirms the policy — not the handover.

Nagarjuna says Nizam start. Figures later
At a pre-release event for Pallaburusu, the Annapurna Studios chief said the banner has begun distributing in Nizam and wants to “restore the old system”. No numbers yet; a formal slate isn’t public.

BRS warns siege over GRMB ‘review’
KTR says seven Telangana projects face a GRMB permissions review pushed by Andhra; dares Telangana BJP MPs to show up for Telangana, for once. The statutory Board exists — the seven-project agenda does not, on the record, yet.
Analysis
Hyderabad “40% deletions”? Not so fast
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.
Analysis
Salkam Cheruvu: orders, delays, déjà vu
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.
Analysis
Unity Mall, clarity missing
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.
