Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme

Hyderabad: As Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao will be inaugurating the drinking water component of the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Scheme on September 16, works on the multi-stage project have gathered pace. Over 90 percent of the works on the pumping stations and main canal were already completed, project officials said.

‘We are equally focusing our attention to the implementation of the Remediation plans and Natural Resources and Community Resources Augmentation Plan which were stressed by the Expert Appraisal Committee that has recommended the irrigation component of project for environmental clearance,’ they said.

As recommended by the EAC, the government has deposited Rs 153.70 crore towards the Remediation plan and the other related activities. Once the final clearances were obtained, works on the irrigation component will also be resumed and completed in a time bound manner.

Two of the nine pumps that completed the dry run under stage I of the PLIS at Narlapur would be made operational after the inaugural wet run for lifting about three tmc of Krishna water into the Narlapur reservoir which has a gross storage capacity of 6.04 tmc. Since it was altogether a new reservoir, it will be filled in three spells.

The pumps are being programmed only for lifting water to support the drinking water supply in the villages en route that have been on a long wait. Pumping of water to Yedula reservoir under Stage 2 will be taken up after impounding water up to the minimum required levels in Narlapur reservoir.

Water would be lifted stage by stage to fill the reservoirs up to karvena. As part of this effort, the shifting of Mission Bhagiratha pipelines in Package nine is also in progress. Tenders will be called for implementation of the canal system as well as the distributaries very soon, they added.

‘Law enforcement has critical role in preventing criminal use of AI’



Hyderabad: Law enforcement has critical role In preventing criminal use of AI, said Maharashtra Principal Secretary, Brijesh Singh in a talk at the Indian School of Business (ISB).

Sharing his insights and experiences on the topic “Generative AI: Risks and Countermeasures”, he underlined that the failure to adequately understand and address new risks of Artificial Intelligence (AI) could undermine responsible development and public trust.

“Criminals may weaponize these flexible systems without constraints, posing threats from the dissemination of state-sponsored disinformation to sophisticated economic interference and identity theft at scale. Their very abilities to learn from and generate novel output based on immense datasets magnify both promise and vulnerabilities in unprecedented ways,” he Singh said.

The talk was organised by the ISB Institute of Data Science (IIDS) at the school’s Hyderabad campus. Many students of ISB and members of the faculty were in attendance at the discussion.

Congress faces headache by political aspirations of communities



Adilabad: Addressing political aspirations of various communities is going to become a headache for the Congress apart from tackling internal bickering while selecting nominees for 10 Assembly constituencies in erstwhile Adilabad district.

Leaders of various communities Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) have pinned their hopes on the ticket of the Congress from the five segments Boath, Bellampalli, Chennur, Khanapur and Asifabad that are reserved for these communities. There is a stiff competition within leaders of these communities in every segment. For instance, Gajender, Dr Naresh Jadav, Dr Vannela Ashok and Ramulu Naik are vying for the ticket of the party from Boath (ST) constituency.

Dr Ganesh Rathod, Shyam Naik and Marsakola Saraswathi are competing with each other for the Asifabad (ST) segment. Former minister Boda Janardhan, social activists Dr Raja Ramesh, Ramilla Radhika, Thokala Ramesh and Gomase Srinivas are eyeing the Chennur (SC) seat. Former minister G Vinod and Nathari Swamy are expecting the ticket of Bellampalli (SC).

Tribal rights leader Vedma Bojju, ZPTC member Charulatha and Bharath Chouhan are hoping for the ticket of the Congress from Khanapur (ST) segment. The party is forced to take vote banks of aspirants and their communities within SCs and STs in order to choose a nominee.

Meanwhile, Backward Communities (BC) upped the ante against the party to give tickets for their leaders, citing their major share in voters in segments namely Adilabad, Mancherial and Nirmal that are reserved for general category. The Congress party’s leader Gandrath Sujatha, member of a BC community who lost to Jogu Ramanna of BRS, then TRS, in 2018, is once again making all out efforts to get the ticket.

Ch Rajeshwar, and Embadi Rajeshwar, leaders of BCs are also seeking political representation to their backward communities in Nirmal Assembly constituency. As a result, the party may find it difficult in fielding a suitable candidate from this segment.
