Unseasonal rains hit hard Telangana paddy farmers

Farmers in parts of Telangana suffered heavy crop losses due to unseasonal rain on Sunday night. Paddy ready to be harvested and also the produce kept near procurement centres suffered huge damage due to the heavy rains accompanied by strong winds in Nizamabad, Kamareddy, Karimnagar, Jagtial, Rajanna Sircilla, Medak, Nirmal and other districts.
In some places, farmers staged protests on Monday, demanding that the state government compensate them for the losses.
They alleged that the delay by the authorities in procuring paddy led to losses. The produce stored in the open near the procurement centres was either washed away or soaked in rain water.
Farmers complained that they had been waiting for 20 days for paddy to be procured and the delay led to huge damage. They said the authorities failed to arrange trucks for paddy to be transported from the fields to the procurement centres. In other places, the authorities did not arrange tarpaulins at procurement centres to protect the paddy.
In Kamareddy, Rajanna Sircilla and Karimnagar districts the farmers staged a sit-in or resorted to road blockades in support of their demand.
A group of farmers sat on the Nizamabad-Armoor highway. They demanded that the district collector come there and give them an assurance to pay compensation.
Congress leader and member of the Legislative Council Jeevan Reddy called on the affected farmers in Jagtial district and urged the state government to come to their rescue.
In Rajanna Sircilla district, BJP leaders met the affected farmers and extended support to their protest.
State minister K. T. Rama Rao, who represents Sircilla constituency, asked officials to provide details of the losses suffered by the farmers.
The unseasonal rains came as another blow to the paddy farmers as they were already worried over the delay due to the stand-off between the state and the central governments.
As the Centre refused to procure paddy despite the protest by the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), the state government last month came forward to procure the same from farmers.
Meanwhile, Kisan Congress leaders staged a protest at the civil supplies office in Hyderabad over alleged irregularities and also delay in paddy procurement.
The leaders led by Anvesh Reddy staged the protest in the office. They alleged that rice millers and officials were exploiting farmers.
Anvesh Reddy and others refused to leave till civil supplies commissioner Anil Kumar came to hear them. As they continued the protest raising anti-government slogans, police arrested them. The police personnel physically lifted the protesters and shifted them to a police station.

Bir Mecca Masjid bomb blast implementation of UAPA

Mumbai: Police has implemented UAPA Act in the Bir Ard Masla Mecca Masjid blast case. On the midnight of March 30, Vijay Agon and Shri Ram Ashok placed a bomb in the mosque and exploded it. This explosion was done with the help of jetliner and detonator. In this case, the police had earlier registered a case under Arms Act and other sections, but after that Muslim organizations had demanded to prosecute the accused under UAPA Act and NSA.
The Beed blast was investigated by the local crime branch, in which the crime branch found that the explosion was very powerful and detonators were also used along with jetliner rods. On this basis, UAPA Act has been implemented on the recommendation of the Crime Branch. Police have registered a case against both the terrorists under sections 16 and 18 of UAPA. Since the Beed blast, Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is investigating it along with the police. The ATS is investigating the connection and financing of terrorists in this case, including how jetliner rods were made available to the accused and who provided them jetliner rods without license or permit. Along with this, investigation is also going on to find out how many more people and conspirators are involved in this case. ATS said that investigation is going on every aspect and point of the Beed bomb blast, however, ATS has so far questioned many people in this case, including family members and well-wishers of the accused as well as their friends and acquaintances. ATS is trying to uncover the conspiracy before the blast in the Beed Mecca Masjid blast case because before the blast, accused Vijay Agon had released a video and uploaded it on the status threatening Muslims to remove the mosque and only after that the blast took place here. The local police had also registered a case of spreading religious hatred against the accused a day earlier and the mosque was blown up the next day.

Mumbai: Fallon Guliwala, wife of actor Ajaz Khan, who was arrested in November 2024 after narcotics were recovered from her residence, has been granted bail by a special court in Mumbai.
Guliwala had been in custody for over four months. The court has imposed certain conditions for her bail, including the submission of her passport, a restriction on travel, and mandatory attendance before the investigating officer three times a week until the chargesheet is filed.
Her lawyer, Ayaz Khan, argued that she was unaware of the recovered items and that she was not the only occupant of the premises. He also mentioned that the CCTV system was turned off during the raid, and no videography or photography was conducted.
Special Public Prosecutor Vibhavari Pathak opposed the bail plea, stating that a prima facie case existed against Guliwala.
Considering that the seizure process had already been completed, the court granted bail but with strict conditions.
