Two women from Hyderabad killed in car crash in Saudi


Jeddah: Eid Al Fitr holidays turned tragic for a Hyderabadi family in Saudi Arabia as two women died in a car crash on their way to the holy city of Makkah from Dammam.

Two brothers along with their families were travelling to Makkah to perform Eid prayers when their car crashed near Afif on Riyadh – Makkah Highway and two women died on the spot.


The deceased were identified as Farhat Anjum Hussaini, who was working as assistant professor in a university in Dammam and her sister-in-law Rashida Faruqi, a homemaker. Their bodies were kept in a morgue in Afif.

Though the tragic accident occurred on Monday, their relatives came to know of it later only.

Farhat Anjum was the wife of Shahabuddin Farooqi and Rashida Faruqi was the wife of Rafiuddin Farooqi, both hailing from Hyderabad city and working in Dammam for a long time.

Owing to Eid Holidays, there is delay in completing required mandatory documentation, which is delaying the funeral. The final rites were likely to be conducted in Afif, according to the family.

SISA holds workshop on knee joint care in Hyderabad

Dr K Raghuveer Reddy, organising secretary, SISA Hospitals with Dr Adrian Wilson, UK and Dr Kristian Kley of Germany.

Hyderabad: Sai Institute of Sports Injury & Arthroscopy (SISA), celebrating its silver jubilee, is hosting a two-day workshop on Knee Joint Preservation, Live Surgery Conference 2024, here on April 13 and 14. This is the 14th such conference hosted by SISA, deliberating on advanced techniques in knee realignment surgery and related aspects.

Experts, including Dr. K Raghuveer Reddy, the organising secretary, Dr. Adrian Wilson, UK and Dr. Kristian Kley, Germany, and other surgeons shared insights into achieving positive outcomes using these techniques.


In knee joint preservation, both non-surgical and surgical treatments are done. Knee joint replacement is the option for patients with advanced arthritis.

However, younger patients below 55, who lead active lifestyles, experience high wear and tear on knee prosthesis. To address this, emphasis must be on repairing the knee rather than replacing to prolong natural knee function.

High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) showcased at the Conference offers a revolutionary approach to correcting bow legs by strategically cutting the shin bone just below the knee joint. By redistributing body weight, it alleviates pain from the worn-out knee joint while promoting mechanical realignment and load distribution.

With its cartilage-protective biological effects, HTO extends the lifespan of partially damaged knees and can potentially forestall the need for total knee replacement. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals under 55 with mild to moderate-stage arthritis, athletes, active older patients, and those with specific knee deformities or instability issues. It provides a tailored solution for improving knee function and preserving joint integrity.

After a brief rehabilitation period, individuals can usually resume normal activities within six months and sports within twelve months.

Over 400 surgeons from different parts of the country participated in the conference.

AICC’s Venugopal to visit Hyderabad for talks on finalising three candidates

AICC’s Venugopal to visit Hyderabad for talks on finalising three candidates


Hyderabad:  AICC general secretary (organisation) K. C. Venugopal is arriving in Hyderabad later in the day for talks with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and other top party leaders to finalise candidates for remaining three Lok Sabha seats.

Venugopal will hold a meeting with the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, AICC in-charge Deepa Dasmunshi and other key leaders on Sunday evening.


He will also meet AICC secretaries, in-charges of Lok Sabha constituencies and party candidates whose names have already been announced.

The Congress has already declared candidates for 14 Lok Sabha seats in the state. Announcement of candidates for Khammam, Karimnagar and Hyderabad constituencies has been delayed due to various reasons including multiple contenders, especially in Khammam and Karimnagar.

For Khammam, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka‘s wife Nandini is also an aspirant. Since Vikramarka’s brother Mallu Ravi has already been declared party candidate from Nagarkurnool constituency, the leadership is in a dilemma on giving ticket to another member of his family. State minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy’s brother Prasad Reddy is also an aspirant of the party ticket from Khammam.

There are many other aspirants including Raghurami Reddy and Mandava Venkateshwar Rao for the Khammam seat. There is a similar situation in Karimnagar, where BJP general secretary Bandi Sanjay Kumar is seeking re-election.

Revanth Reddy, Vikramarka and Deepa Dasmunshi on Saturday held talks about finalisation of candidates for the three candidates. The state election commission is already reported to have shortlisted the candidates for the seats and a final decision is likely after Sunday’s meeting with Venugopal.

The AICC general secretary is also likely to discuss with state leaders the strategy for May 13 elections and the joining by leaders of other political parties. The central leader is expected to give directions to state leadership on the issues to be taken up during campaigning and explain to people the promises made by the party in its national manifesto.

Venugopal in consultation with the state leaders will also decide dates and venues of the public meetings to be addressed by top leaders of the party. The party is reportedly planning 50 public meetings across the state.

Lok Sabha polls in Telangana will be held on May 13.

Hyderabad: Rejecting BJP Hyderabad Lok Sabha candidate K Madhavi Latha’s allegation of about six lakh bogus votes in the constituency, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday said the Election Commission takes care of the issue of voters’ lists. Owaisi, who is seeking reelection from Hyderabad constituency, wondered what his role was in the matter.

The AIMIM leader said the process of addition of names and publication of final voters’ list is carried out every year by the Election Commission which he does not head.


He was responding to a query from scribes about Madhavi Latha’s charge that Owaisi wins with the help of the six lakh bogus votes.

The allegation amounts to “abusing” the Election Commission, he added. “By speaking like this, you are insulting Hyderabad electorate, which includes brothers from backward class and Dalits, minority Muslims, Christians who are going out to vote.

Because of their votes, every party is getting votes and AIMIM is successful,” he told reporters. Asked about the reported comments of a Congress leader in Hyderabad that he has to be friends with the AIMIM, Owaisi said his party does not have any alliance with any party in Telangana for the Lok Sabha elections.

His party has formed PDM in Uttar Pradesh and his colleague MP in Maharashtra Imtiaz Jaleel is holding talks on the issue in the western State.

To a query on the Centre’s advisory to Indians not to travel to Iran or Israel till further notice, Owaisi pointed out that the union government had signed an agreement with Israel as per which 6,000 Indian workers had gone to that country.

“After sending 6,000 Indian citizens into the jaws of death, you issue an advisory. What type of humanity is this by the Narendra Modi government?” he asked.

He demanded that the government immediately call back those 6,000 Indian citizens. Lashing out at the Israeli government, Owaisi said it was committing a “genocide” against Palestinians.

Asked about the BJP candidate’s alleged comments about his attire, he claimed that there is hate against his food, beard, ‘hijab’ and existence. “But, the people of Hyderabad would not make hate successful. (They will) make love successful.
