A few policemen in the Hyderabad City Police are trained snake catchers and have in many instances caught snakes found in residential areas.
Hyderabad: So far 51 employees of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation tested positive for COVID-19 until Thursday.
At least five employees of head office, a deputy commissioner in Kotapally zonal office and around 30 workers, who sprayed disinfectants, have been affected by the crisis. Meanwhile, a cashier of a bank on premises of GHMC head office tested positive for Covid-19 on Thursday.
A personal assistant of an IAS officer, who himself tested positive last week, is the latest to join the list.
Meanwhile, conditions in GHMC limits could worsen if the spike continues, revealed ground verification. There are 2,192 Covid-19 patients in home isolation. After the spike in cases, GHMC officials, who were unable to trace the secondary contacts are now unable take-up measures to contain the spread of the virus.
Monitoring activity of home quarantined people, spraying sodium hypochlorite, sanitation are activities which went for a toss. The situation can be attributed to staff crunch. Keeping a vigil on home isolated people who had tested positive for Covid-19 and containing the house/ flat are the only activities which are being executed properly.
Residents complained of lack of sanitisation. T Narasimhan A, president, Golf View Apartment, Nanakramguda said they roped in a private firm for sanitisation. “Meeting deadlines and executing Covid-19 works, an additional task, has become difficult,” said a GHMC official.
Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation’s (GHMC) veterinary wing on Saturday announced that the wing is going to serve notices to all mutton and beef shop owners within the GHMC limits.
Mutton and beef shop will only be allowed to procured from GHMC slaughterhouses.
A stamp of approval by the veterinary wing will indicate that this meat is from the GHMC slaughterhouses. The GHMC officials stated that this decision has been taken in the interest of public health.
“If any meat selling shop resorting to illegal slaughter of animals or if they sell unstamped mutton and beef procured from illegal sources, necessary action will be taken against the sellers, as per the GHMC Act, 1955,” a GHMC official added.
According to the veterinary wing of GHMC, selling of unstamped meat is highly irregular and violates Section 548, 530, 487 & 596 of the GHMC Act 1955 which may lead to public health hazards.

Hyderabad: Hundreds of dead bodies are being brought to the graveyards of the city on daily basis. The persons who dig graves are seen busy round the clock these days and they are using machines to dig the graves instead of crowbar to save time.
Urgent steps needs to be taken to dispel coronavirus fear prevalent among public because the rising number of deaths and cases of covid-19 are resulting in mental stress among the people.
People should know that not all the death occurring in the city are due to coronavirus. Many of the deaths are occurring because the patients brought to the hospitals are denied primary medical care due to corona fear. Private hospitals are bound to follow guidelines issued by the government and World Health Organisation hence many doctors feel helpless. Symptoms of seasonal diseases are linked to coronavirus and as per the guidelines, doctors are not supposed to provide medical help without testing the patient.
Earlier when a heart patient was brought to the hospital, before administering any medicine, the patient was given Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a procedure in which the chest of the patient is compressed often with artificial ventilation in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.
But after the coronavirus pandemic, CPR to the heart patient has been banned and according to the guidelines unless the patient is not tested for coronavirus, the doctor cannot check the patient closely.
Most of the deaths in the city are being occurred due to heart failure or respiratory illness. The symptom of difficulty in breathing is also being linked with the coronavirus hence patients with respiratory illness are not getting treatment immediately which is leading to their death.
The need of the hour is to revise the guidelines issued by the government and World Health Organisation and to ensure primary medical care to the patients by conducting coronavirus test on them by rapid test kit. This way, lives of several patients who are visiting hospitals due to respiratory, heart and other illness could be saved.
Hyderabad: Expressing serious concern over rising number of Covid-19 cases and deaths in the State, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President and Nalgonda MP Capt. N. Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao’s inefficiency and inability are responsible for the present situation. He also announced the schedule for a series of agitation programmes to be held in the next one week on various issues.
He was addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan on Saturday along with TPCC Working Presidents Ponnam Prabhakar and Kusum Kumar, Vice-President Dr. Mallu Ravi, AICC Spokesperson Dr. Dasoju Sravan and other leaders.
Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that KCR Govt has completely failed to handle the Coronavirus situation. He said that the first Coronavirus case was reported in Telangana about three months ago and experts had issued multiple warnings predicting a huge rise in the number of cases. However, he said even after three months, KCR’s government took no measures to handle the situation in an effective manner. The situation is so horrible that there are no beds in the hospitals to treat the Covid-19 patients. He said that the guidelines to trace, test and treat Covid-19 patients were not followed and KCR’s negligent and casual approach led to huge spread of the disease with no medical infrastructure in place to treat the affected people.
The TPCC Chief said there was only one COVID-19 hospital, the Gandhi Hospital for the nearly four crore population of Telangana. He said that the lockdown period was not utilised properly to upgrade the infrastructure. Consequently, today the authorities are unable to attend to rising number of cases in the state. He said that the Congress party has been raising the issue of less testing in Telangana. Reddy said a representation was also made with the Governor on the issue. Even the High Court has given several suggestions to increase the testing rate. However, the KCR government is not willing to listen to opposition parties, the Governor or even the High Court. He said that the government has failed to provide Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) kits even to the doctors who are treating patients. Consequently, several doctors, nurses and other para-medical staff were infected with the deadly virus. Similarly, several police personnel, sanitation workers and journalists too caught the virus. He said these cases clearly expose the failure and proves the TRS government’s inefficiency.
Uttam Kumar Reddy reiterated the demand that all frontline warriors against Coronavirus including doctors, para-medical staff, policemen, sanitation workers and journalists be paid an ex-gratia of Rs. 50 lakh if they die of COVID-19. He said that the Central Government has already made an announcement that doctors and para-medics would be given an ex-gratia of Rs. 50 lakh. However, this decision is not being implemented by the government. He also demanded Rs. 10 lakh ex-gratia for the poor whose lives were taken by the disease.
The TPCC Chief said that The PCC Task Force Committee on Covid-19, headed by Marri Shashidhar Reddy, would make a representation with the Central Team, which is visiting Hyderabad, to expose the negligence of the state government in managing Containment Zones. He announced that Congress leaders would address press meets on June 30 at all Assembly headquarters to expose the failures of the TRS government handling the situation.
Uttam Kumar Reddy also slammed the TRS Government for inflated electricity bills given to consumers this month. He demanded that the electricity bills for the lockdown period of two months should be waived off, especially for the BPL families. He also demanded that the power companies should adopt telescopic methodology to generate electricity bills by scrapping away the non-telescopic method which will benefit consumers. He said that the Congress party would organise protests against inflated electricity bills with black badges and flags in all Mandal & Assembly headquarters on July 3.
The TPCC also announced that protest would be held on June 29 against the hike in petrol and diesel prices in all Rural District Headquarters and memorandums will be submitted to the District Collectors. Similarly, protests will be held in urban areas and mandal headquarters on July 4.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the Congress party would organise birth centenary celebrations of former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao from June 28. The celebrations will go on for a year by way of organising different programmes. He also reminded that the then Congress government in undivided Andhra Pradesh had passed a resolution in the Assembly demanding a Bharat Ratna for PV Narasimha Rao. He said Asia’s longest flyover in Hyderabad was also named after him. He said that the party would welcome centenary celebrations by anyone, including the state government.

Hyderabad: ‘China apps/products are forbidden in this college’, declared a banner put up at Police Training College in Karimnagar town of Telangana.
The trainees at the college on a suggestion from the principal deleted Chinese apps and stop using Chinese products as a mark of protest over the recent killing of 20 Indian soldiers by the neighbouring country in Ladakh.
The move by the training centre came amid ongoing debate in the country on boycotting Chinese apps and goods.
Majority of over 800 trainees and 150 staff members at the training college have deleted Chinese apps and have stopped using Chinese goods.
Police Training College (PTC) incharge principal G. Chandramohan said no order was issued to the trainees or staff. He said it was only a suggestion but the majority of them welcomed it and deleted the apps.
The trainees feel that by boycotting Chinese products and apps they can voice their anger over the killing of Indian soldiers including Colonel Santosh Babu, who hailed from Telangana’s Suryapet district.
The clash in Galwan Valley in Ladakh has already sparked a debate on the boycott. People at a few places staged protests, demanding the government to ban the import of Chinese goods.
Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on June 20 called for a ban on TikTok to impact China economically. He said 15 crore Indians use the Chinese app and that country makes crores in profit from this.
“Ban Chinese video app TikTok in India. 15 crore people of India use TikTok due to which China gets profit of crores. Stop TikTok to impact China economically! I humbly request all Indians to boycott TikTok,” Ramdas Athawale had tweeted.

Hyderabad: Telangana’s beloved Chief Minister KCR seems to have abandoned his beloved Telangana to be ravished by the deadly Carona Virus.
Covid-19 pandemic has spread dangerously across the state within the last few weeks and the government seems to have given up watching helplessly, while it had the virus under control initially giving hope to the people of the state that KCR government is alert to the responsibility it owes to the peopled who elected it.
Life or livelihood
Caught between the dilemma of life and livelihood, the government seems to have opted for livelihood throwing all caution to the wind resulting in a record 985 test-positive cases reported in just one day, Friday, June 26th.
New papers, TV Channels, web portals, social media are reporting an alarming increase in the number of COVID-19 positive cases. According to reports, an estimated more than 10,000 positive cases have been reported and more than 50% come from the GHMC compass. And equally, alarming are reports from NGOs in the city about the growing acute shortage of beds in hospitals. Several instances of Covid-19 patients being refused beds in city hospitals, government, and corporate have been reported over the social media due to which several patients mostly senior citizens have suffered deaths.
Surge in positive cases
Media reports have outlined the surge in positive cases as a regular feature for the past ten days., even as the state government seems to be more interested in launching the Haritha Haram program with a fanfare that stands out grotesquely in a situation calling for the extra emergency measure to stop the pandemic from further devastating lives and homes in the state.
Gardens and parks are not a priority at this time of point when more and more Covid-19 testing facilities and beds for victims of the pandemic are needed. The inauguration of ther 50.08 hectares urban forest park,’Tangedu Vanam” in lakdaram reserve forest in a cost IRS 3.45 crores on Thursday and the opening of another park in the city built at a cost IRS 20 Lakhs by K.T. Rama Rao, Urban Development Minister appears to be totally out of place.
Trading, Merchant community shown awareness
The city’s trading and merchant community have shown more awareness of the dangerously high numbers of positive testing patients and have taken wise, bold, and timely decisions of voluntarily pulling shutters not minding the financial losses till July 8th.
The pandemic sweeping across the globe with various stages of severity is not for the first-timer. The world has been through this crisis earlier also and to quote the French Nobel laureate Albert Camus “ everybody knows pestilence have a way of recurring in the world yet somehow we find it hard to believe in ones that crash down on our heads from a blue sky. There have been as many plagues as wars in history, yet always plagues and wars take people equally by surprise.’
New Delhi and states have traditionally been in a state of denial for quite some time not daring to reveal the exact extent of the havoc the pandemic caused, but hiding and biding time blaming the Tableegi for being super-spreaders of the virus, like the ancient Romans, did blame the Christians for the outbreak of Antonine plague. And amazingly our Prime Minister Modi, of course unbeknownst like ancient Romans struck by the plague turned to magic assuming that spells written on their door frames would turn away the plague, appearing on national television appealed to the nation to bang pots and pans and a week later with another laughable plea to switch off electrical bulbs and light oil lamps to ward away the virus.
But neither the state nor the BJP government at the center seems to have learned anything from this life-threatening crisis that has severely dented the country’s economy and demoralized its people exposing the deep political social and religious chinks in Indian polity.
Crisis and calamities are breeding grounds for learning from those who have successfully come out of the chaos. The Telangana government should take a leaf in fact the entire country from Kerala. Kerala’s remarkable reaction in bringing to control the epidemic.
Go alone policy should be dropped
The government has to change its go alone policy and rope in NGOs and other social organizations and individuals who are now on the ground and take them into confidence working with them putting to positive use the feedback these NGOs haver on the situation prevailing in the city.

The death toll has risen up to 16,095 in the country with 410 persons succumbing to the lethal infection in the last 24 hours.
Hyderabad: After the government announced the lockdown relaxation and allowed all the businesses to reopen, many are unhappy with the decision. They are demanding for a lockdown to be imposed again due to the spike in coronavirus cases in Hyderabad. But for TikTokers, the relaxation seems to be an opportunity to get famous on social media and they seems as they seem to be unaware of the COVID-19 outbreak.
The historic Charminar is no longer the spot it was for tourists, shoppers, and worshippers as the Laad Bazar, Nimrah Hotel, Makkah Masjid downed their shutters due to the COVID-19 scare in the city. After they declared a ‘self-lockdown,’ it seems to be like the Irani Chai joints, popular Bengal stores and pearl shops of Charminar have disappeared. By taking advantage of the deserted surroundings of the structure, many teens have turned the historic Charminar into a shooting spot for recording videos for various social applications — especially TikTok.
Although there is no prohibition on taking photos or making videos near Charminar. Hence, its surroundings are now a hub for TikTokers.
When siasat.com spoke to the police officers deployed near Charminar, they said, “No timings were fixed for shooting videos near Charminar. It has now become very common during day time and even in night hours. TikTokers are ready to make videos, though we try to warn them not to do such things but they say we have come to record a social message. Some say that their work involves social media.”
The Charminar which used to witness thousands of visitors daily filled with street vendors, push carts, customers and tourists since the Janta Curfew. The monument is deserted even after the relaxation. The Charminar does not look anything like its pre-pandemic self especially considering the scarcity of people around it. Although it does feel a like that bit with TikTokers who come to shoot their videos.
One can observe that youngsters are making videos as if they are shooting a movie. A group of five to six with props like chairs, table, cycles are posting these videos on social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram and Facebook with the hashtags #Hyderabad, #Hyderabadi, #Hyderabadi_Nawabs and #Charminar.
A street vendor who sells bangles on a push cart near Charminar said, “These people are requesting for chairs and tables as props. There is no business and we are being entertained by watching such people who make videos.”
Even though police officers ask them to wear face masks during filming, people are taking these precautions as granted.
The video concept they visualise are based on Bollywood songs, Hyderabadi movies, negative characters played by Sanjay Dutt, Vivek Oberoi from Shootout at Lokhandwala, Salman Khan as Radhe in Wanted and etc.
A young TikToker who was making a video near Charminar said “Earlier there was no place near the monument as it was surrounded by vendors. Now that they have been removed, we are making videos. There is nothing wrong in making any video at Charminar, nor are we making any trouble. Within 10 minutes, we will wrap up our shoot and leave the area,” he added.
HYDERABAD: Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao on Sunday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to name Hyderabad Central University after former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao.
The chief minister, in a letter to the Prime Minister, stated that there is a strong local public demand in Telangana to name the university after Narasimha Rao.
He requested the government to name the institution as PV Narasimha Rao Central University of Hyderabad.
The demand came on a day when the chief minister launched year-long birth centenary celebrations of Narasimha Rao.
KCR, as the chief minister is popularly known, wrote that this would be the fitting tribute to Narasimha Rao during his birth centenary year. He recalled that the university was set up in 1974 as a result of Telangana agitation at that time under the six-point formula to address the imbalance in education infrastructure in Telangana.
The former Prime Minister was born in Telangana on June 28, 1921. “Although he is famously recognized as a leader who ushered in economic reforms to bring the stagnant economy of India on a trajectory of high growth at a time of unprecedented economic crisis in 1991, he was at the same time a multi-faceted son of India who contributed the growth of our nation in several other crucial spheres,” reads the letter.
KCR also noted that Narasimha Rao’s contribution to education policy and setting up of residential schools first at the state level and later in the form of Navodaya Schools at national level was a radical step to provide quality education to meritorious students from rural areas with poor economic background.
Hyderabad: In a heartbreaking video, a 34-year-old patient was seen saying that he is unable to breathe as ventilator support has been removed. He alleged that no one is responding to his plea for oxygen support for the last three hours. He sent this video to his father minutes before he was declared dead.
As per the details of the case, on Wednesday, the man was admitted to Government Chest Hospital, Erragadda after over 10 private hospitals refused to admit him.
He recorded and sent the video on Friday night. However, his father saw it only after performing last rite of the deceased on Saturday.
COVID-19 report
The tragedy does not end here, the COVID-19 report of the deceased man that came after his death confirmed that he was infected with the virus.
Now, the family members are scared that they might have been exposed to the virus. It is alleged that no one is ready to conduct COVID-19 test of the deceased’s family members.
Chest Hospital Superintendent denies allegations
Despite the video recording of the patient, Chest Hospital Superintendent Mahboob Khan denied the allegations and said that ventilator support was not removed. He said that in the critical stage, the patient could not feel the oxygen support.
Giving further details of the deceased man, Khan said that the patient died due to the sudden collapse of the heart.
Hyderabad: Home Minister of Telangana State, Mohammed Mahmood Ali has tested positive for COVID-19.

Gunmen of Mohammed Mahmood Ali
It may be recalled that recently, his five gunmen were tested positive for the virus.
