Jagtial: Four Class V students were injured in an attack allegedly by Class 9 students in the hostel of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule BC Residential School, Allipur of Raikal mandal on Monday evening.

The incident came to light when the parents of the children visited the school on the occasion of Ugadi on Tuesday.

The trouble is said to have begun after higher class students were appointed as in-charges for lower class students. Both Class 5 and Class 9 students are said to have entered into an argument, which turned serious and the seniors attacked the juniors.

Enraged over the incident, the parents staged a dharna in front of the school on the Raikal-Jagtial main road demanding action against the students involved in the attack. They found fault with the school management for not informing them about the incident.

Knowing about the incident, Raikal police led by SI Ajay reached the spot and convinced the agitating parents to withdraw the protest. The SI also discussed the issue with the school management.

Rajanna-Sircilla: Muddy and dilapidated houses, withered trees, wells and other sights that are usual in a village, which were submerged in the Mid Manair reservoir, surfaced as the water levels in project dipped to almost dead storage as the project was not getting water from the Kaleshwaram project.

People, who had vacated their villages in 2017 as part of the construction of the project, are now visiting their old homes and agricultural fields and recollecting their days there.

Youngsters are remembering their childhood days by visiting the dilapidated buildings of schools where they pursued their schooling.

A total of 11 villages were submerged in the Mid Manair project constructed in Manwada of Boinpalli mandal. Besides 7,419 houses, 19,446 acres of agricultural lands were also submerged in the project.

As many as 10,131 families vacated their houses and settled in other places. Though adequate water was available in the project all these years, the water scarcity became severe this year.

Besides the drought, lack of inflows from the Kaleshwaram project also led to the drying up of the dam.

The flood flow canal was the main water source for the reservoir, which is considered as the water junction in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project since water will be taken to Kondapochamma Sagar through Ananthagiri, Ranganayaka Sagar and Mallanna Sagar.

Presently, only 7.50 tmc of water is available in the project as against its storage capacity of 27.50 tmc.

Need to tackle neem tree fungal infections: Biodiversity Board chief

Gg

Hyderabad: With many neem trees in the State wilting and drying up due to fungus infections, National Biodiversity Board (NBA) chairperson C Achalender Reddy stressed on the need to get experts from the Forest and Agriculture departments and plant pathologists of agricultural universities to work together for finding out measures to control these infections.

Some neem trees were self-reviving but to plant more trees, there has to be scientific methodology to save them. This was important as first level neem raw products were being used for preparing drugs to treat cancer.

At present, these drugs were in capsule forms and intravenous injections have also been developed, he said.

To sustain the manufacturing of these capsules and injections, a lot of neem trees were required. To achieve this, farmers should be given assured price for raising neem trees.

It would be a win-win situation as farmers and cancer patients would get benefited, he said. “From the NBA, we can only make recommendations.

If any university or the Forest College and Research Institute, Mulugu evince interest in conducting research studies for a year, the NBA can extend funding,” Achalender Reddy said, adding that the fungus attack was more in southern India compared to north India as there were very less trees.

In southern India, it was more rapid in Telangana than in other States, he said. Regarding Ameenpur Lake, which is the only Biodiversity Heritage site in the State and the need for more such sites, he said rules were being prepared for including more biodiversity heritage sites.

Guidelines already existed but a solid framework was required and that was under progress, he said.

In the meantime, the State government should protect and have a management plan for Ameenpur Lake to avoid further encroachments.

Since the basic data of Telangana was available, there was a need for a scientific study called development of biodiversity finance plan for the State for preparing fund estimates for biodiversity conservation, he said, adding that once the funding, including private and CSR contributions, was arranged, the State biodiversity plan could be further upgraded.

Corporate Social Responsibility was made mandatory in the Companies Act through an amendment in 2013. Guidelines were issued but unfortunately, the word biodiversity was missed out. Companies were reluctant in contributing towards these initiatives, he said.

“We are now trying to sensitise the commerce Ministry or the commerce sector to bring the biodiversity word in the guidelines. This will help the corporate companies to contribute without any hesitations,” Achalender Reddy added.
