Perhaps the closest encounters for many of us with the police department are through cinema and media channels. That has formed a strong impression on our minds as to how the cops are. Most of the times we feel they are corrupt and mean but a closer look to reality is sure to change that perception. 

Cops are the most hardworking and dealing with the most evil minded elements in society. True to their pressure and environment, they need a break. But unfortunately, weekly offs have not been part of their daily life. However, things are likely to change for the Telangana police department. It is heard that many are asking for weekly one day holiday for cops but no government is taking initiative. But the Telangana CM KCR is having that bent of mind. 

He has already taken few positive steps by changing their vehicles, working on their uniforms etc. In the next level, he is planning to give them weekly off and roasters would be prepared on shift basis. If that gets implemented successfully, KCR will be a role model for rest of India.

Dear Sir, 

How are you?? Hope you are doing good. Have seen you in the sunrise startup village for the first time.You did a great thing starting that in vizag. Coming to the point ! Why am I writing this letter ?? Cause there are lot of things i want to say to you but i can’t for the obvious reason that you are the chief minister. So you are one of the first who started the software, online and all that words basically tech world in andhra a long time ago ..so i want to see how fast this letter will come to you. The hudhud cyclone was something disastrous happening in front of our eyes and at the same time something which nobody could stop . Mother Nature woke us from our deep sleep of ignorance with a tight slap. 

October 12th : I woke up to these howls of wind and the sounds of everything outside banging each other.In the morning at around seven my tree fell down and i could do nothing. And then everything around you starts falling down and all you can do is watch, cry and feel how puny you are in front of her mighty hands. 

October 13th : We wake up to clear sky in the morning six as if nothing has happened but chaos everywhere No power, trees on the ground, broken windows, water in our homes and offices, watertanks in front of our houses, power poles and wires swinging in the mid air. We started to clear our house and in front of our house cause basically everything went into stone age and all you could do is cut the wood, clean your place , help each other as much as possible, cook food and wait for the power to restore Why am i telling all this??? In those two days i wanted to ask you soo many things and the best part i got reply within no time…

1. I thought i should complain you about restoring power quickly and then i get the news that it will be taken care of in three days. 

2. I wanted to complain to you about selfish people selling milk packet and candles and everything for unbelievable prices during a calamity and then the next i hear you saying to complain about everyone who does that and not to encourage such people. 

3. I thought if you come and be here in the city everyone will work more efficiently and thank god you did, Not one or two days but for almost five days. 

4.I thought of asking you to lower the prices of everyday food and you did that too by giving us free ration and reducing the vegetable rates and selling the milk for cheaper price.

5. And then the trees ..so many trees on the ground and it was devastating to see them like that, and then you start tellin everyone to plant trees, cancel cracker licence and gave one lakh trees as gifts …wow woowand just wow!!!! Ofcourse the power was not restored in three days everywhere but i totally support you sir cause i have seen a big crane taking almost five hours to move it aside and there were thousands of trees all over the city. Frankly saying this sir, i was in school the last time you were in power and i don remember someone working like this afterwards. 

All i have seen is all talk and no work. Politicians sitting in the sabhas and fighting like lil kids do. I lost respect towards a politician and a political party .it merely became a big business of corruption. But you just rewrote everything. You changed our views and brought back the words such as good governance into existance. For everyone who is saying you are an iron leg and hudhud happened cause of you coming into power lemme say sthin very loudly “Trust me all you dumb people who think like that, i have been there and seen it and nature is something you can’t stop.. Yes you could do a lil part of good by not shouting on the roads and stopping sound pollution.” 

Face palm for you and your stupidity fellows. I donno why to bring a political language when someone is doing a good job.. you blame if someone works..you blame when someone doesn’t .. I donno what you so called learned people want but bring your act together and shut your mouths. My nanamma used to say “we get to know the true colors of a person in difficult times”. And you just showed your true colors :))) .. You brought back a promise of good governance and trust towards a political party . Thank god my vote towards YOU and BJP totally counted this time or else i cant even imagine which state we will be in now. Ohh sorry sir i forgot to introduce myself, I am Sirisha Challa and I am a baker and own a cute lil bakery in vizag called Bake My Wish. I want to send you a cake but i donno whether you will recieve it or not.. So this letter is my gift to you. 

YOU ROCK SIR , Period. Please drop in for a filter coffee and a warm slice of cake if you are in town sir ..i know its not much but thats what i am best at 🙂 Wish you a very happy diwali to you and your family sir and thank you so much for bringing back light into our houses and hope into our hearts :). Take care sir Sirisha challa 

( P .S – if there are any mistakes in this letter kindly ignore, i never wrote a letter a to a cm before and dont no how to write one , just putting my heart out here :))))) ) 

Thank you once again.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is allegedly behind the whole Power Crisis in the state. Although KCR and his team are wary of the deteriorating supply of power, lack of proper measures on time, lack of vision is said to have plunged the state into dark compelling several farmers to commit suicides, alleged Telangana TDP leader Revanth Reddy. This is not all. The state government hasn’t appointed any minister for Power till date and even transferred several IAS officers and reappointed few non-cadre retired officers who would act on their behest. This allegedly worsen the situation and added to the woes of people, corporate sector.

Even Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal on record stated that Telangana government has neither sought its help nor come up with a proposal to solve their power crisis. Although Centre is ready to lend its helping hand, KCR-led T-government has shown zero interest in the issue. Although KCR rushed with a proposal soon after Mr Piyush’s statement, it’s said to be inappropriate. 

Also, Telangana government has done nothing concrete to restore Jurala Power Project which has 240 MW capacity and government has not taken any steps to restore 60 MW capacity in Nagarjuna Sagar Power Project. On whole, government deliberately giving up 300 MW power in the state. Contrary to this KCR is now blaming Chandra Babu Naidu and TDP for political mileage rather than coming up with solution, alleged Revanth Reddy. All this is said to have plunged Telanagana into acute power crisis.

Deputy CLP leader in Telangana Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir has alleged that nearly 3,600 cheques issued towards CMRF during President’s Rule in undivided Andhra Pradesh were not honoured by banks. The cheques were issued towards medical relief to the poor and needy persons under the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund in undivided AP when it was under the President’s Rule from March 1st to June 1st this year. 

Shabbir Ali said that the beneficiaries were issued cheques on different dates in the month of May this year following clearance of applications by a committee appointed by Governor ESL Narasimhan. Since all those cheques were valid for one month only after the date of issue, they expired. Consequently, poor patients who felt relieved after getting the cheques, were cheated and pushed into economic crisis, he alleged. 

Shabbir Ali said when he brought the matter to the notice of the Governor when the Telangana Congress delegation called on him on Tuesday, the Governor asked him to represent the matter in writing. “Today I have written a letter to the Governor while enclosing a copy of few cheques which got dishonoured. What I have mentioned is just the tip of the iceberg. At least 3,600 cheques issued towards the CMRF under Governor’s directions during the President’s Rule were not honoured for different reasons,” he said.
