Amid the calm yet dreary milieu of orphanages that bustle only on special occasions, children yearn for parental warmth. Behind their innocent smiles and awkward silence are bottled up emotions. @NewIndianXpress @Kalyan_TNIE @xpressandhra #AndhraPradesh

#Telangana recorded a glaring mismatch in heatwave death data for 2024. While #NCRB data shows 116 heatstroke and sunstroke deaths, the state’s #Heatwave Action Plan 2026 officially shows only 10 deaths — leaving a gap of 106 fatalities. Experts warn that strict verification protocols and the absence of a uniform national framework may be causing several heat-linked deaths to go uncounted. 🔗 newindianexpress.com/states/telanga… @NewIndianXpress

An RTC driver from the #Jagtial depot was removed from PHB services with immediate effect after a complaint by #Congress Party Dharmapuri Mandal President C Laxman alleged that he criticised Congress leaders during a protest over rising #petrol and #diesel prices in Jagtial.

He said he had merely remarked that the government should first procure #paddy and #maize from #farmers. @NewIndianXpress

“If you do not interfere in politics, politics will eventually interfere in your life.” This quote is the first thing that greets you when you walk into the Voice of Commons office. Step further in and a red sofa sits against a sprawling black-and-white mural of Periyar, Ambedkar and Gandhi, alongside Martin Luther King Jr, Che Guevara, Abraham Lincoln, Bhagat Singh, Karl Marx, and other reformers and revolutionaries. Opposite the sofa, hangs a framed copy of the Preamble. Walk past that, and you enter the main floor with rows of workstations in yellow and maroon, the colours of TVK, stretching across a large open office. On the far wall, a life-size cutout of Vijay, arms wide open, smiles over the room. Inside the #TVK war room 👇 Report by @pkr_madras
