Former Telangana Health Min Joins BJP After Land Scam Allegations

The six-time MLA is facing several probes in connection with land-grabbing allegations.

Former Telangana Health Minister Eatala Rajender, who was a Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) MLA from the Huzurabad constituency, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday, 14 June.

He had tendered his resignation to the Speaker of the Telangana Legislative Assembly on Saturday, 12 June.

Rajender’s meeting with the BJP came amid a charged political atmosphere following his sacking by Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) from the Cabinet.

“This is a fight between KCR’s money and arrogance and Telangana’s self-respect. I urge the people to support me and wherever you are in the world, call up your relatives in Huzurabad and urge them to support me. I am a people’s man and I have always stood by the people irrespective of their caste, religion, and region. In the future also I will stand by the people and strive for their welfare. I promise today that I will work towards the Telangana that we aspired and fought for,” the six-time MLA had said, after resigning, reported The News Minute.

Rajender faces probes by the state government agencies such as the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), revenue department and a committee appointed by the government in the backdrop of land-grabbing allegations.
His family-owned Jamuna Hatcheries Private Limited and his followers allegedly grabbed government-assigned land in Medak district and endowment land in Devarayamjal in Medchal Malkajgiri.

Earlier in 2021, a third probe was initiated after a person from Ravalkole, Medchal, alleged land-grabbing by Rajender's son Nitin Reddy.

AIIMS Delhi starts screening of children for Covaxin trials

The trial on children has already started at AIIMS Patna to see if the Bharat Biotech jab is suitable for children.

New Delhi: The screening of children for trial of Covaxin, India’s first indigenously developed COVID-19 vaccine, among those aged between 2 and 18 started at the AIIMS here on Monday.

The trial on children has already started at AIIMS Patna to see if the Bharat Biotech jab is suitable for children. Participants would be given the vaccine after their screening report comes.

The trial is to be conducted on 525 healthy volunteers. In the trial, the vaccine will be given by intramuscular route in two doses at day 0 and day 28.

“The screening of children for conducting trial of Covaxin has started. Participants would be given the vaccine after their screening reports come,” Dr Sanjay Rai, Professor at the Centre for Community Medicine at AIIMS, said.

India’s drug regulator had granted permission for conducting the phase 2/3 clinical trial of Covaxin in the age group 2 to 18 years on May 12 Covaxin is being used on adults in India’s ongoing COVID-19 vaccination drive.

The government last week cautioned that even though COVID-19 has not taken a serious shape among children till now, its impact can increase among them if there is a change in virus behaviour or epidemiology dynamics, and said preparations are being strengthened to deal with any such situation.

A national expert group has been formed to review COVID-19 infections in children and approach the pandemic in a renewed way to strengthen the nation’s preparedness, NITI Aayog Member (Health) V K Paul had said at a press conference.

The group has examined signs which were not available four-five months before, he said.
It has also considered available data, clinical profile, the country’s experience, disease dynamics, nature of the virus and the pandemic and has come up with guidelines, which will be publicly released soon.

“While we have been systematically reviewing scientific developments in this area, the group has been formed to take an updated view of the situation,” Paul said.

Asked if the Pfizer vaccine, if it comes to India, will it be considered for children between the age of 12 and 15 years as being approved by the UK, Paul had said that the country has its own vaccines which are being readied for children.

“Child cohort is not a small cohort. My rough guess is that if it is between 12 to 18 years, this itself is about 13 to 14 crore population and for which we will need about 25-26 crore doses.

“We cannot have some people getting and others not getting. So we will have to take this into account when we strategise and make a decision based on how many doses of which vaccines are available. he said.

He further shared that Zydus Cadila’s vaccine is already being tested in children.

“So when Zydus comes for licensure, hopefully in the next two weeks, may be we have enough data to take a view on whether the vaccine can be given to children,” he said.

Strengthening it’s medical infrastructure, the State government will open 19 diagnostic centres in select major government hospitals and district headquarters hospitals across the State on June 7. Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao directed the officials concerned to commence operation of diagnostic centres where about 57 types of diagnostic tests will be conducted to the poor and the needy at free of cost.

All equipment and infrastructure are already in place in the district hospitals of Mahabubnagar, Nizamabad, Sangareddy, Medak, Jangaon, Mulugu, Mahabubabad, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Jagitial, Siddipet, Nalgonda, Khammam, Rajanna Siricilla, Vikarabad, Nirmal, Karimnagar, Adilabad, Asifabad and Jogulamba Gadwal. They have been established as per the directions of the Chief Minister earlier and kept ready for inauguration.

Chandrashekhar Rao who held a meeting with the officials of Medical and Health department at Pragathi Bhavan on Saturday, stated that the government’s objective was to make all types of medical and diagnostic services more accessible to provide better healthcare to the people of Telangana State. He felt that in the wake of diseases like Covid-19 pandemic, medical infrastructure has been improved at several government hospitals including Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across the State. The State government is also implementing several schemes to provide free healthcare facilities to the citizens of the State.

Telangana Class 12 Board Exams: Final decision expected to be out soon

The final decision regarding the cancellation of the Telangana Class 12 board exams 2021 will be announced soon by the state government.

The government of Telangana will be announcing the final decision regarding the conduction or cancellation of the Class 12 board exams in the state soon. It is being speculated that the Class 12 exams in the state will be cancelled.

The Telangana government had earlier postponed its Class 12 or Inter exams due to the pandemic and had said that the final decision for the same will be announced in the first week of June. Though students are speculating on the cancellation of the exams, no formal announcement has been made yet.

Students can expect the decision of the Telangana government regarding the cancellation of the exams in a couple of days. Many states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Odisha, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh have recently announced the cancellation of Class 12 board exams.

The central government, on June 1, cancelled the conduction of the CBSE Class 12 board exams across the country. After this, CISCE and NIOS, along with several state governments also decided to call off the conduction of their Class 12 board exams.

Telangana Class 10 exams cancelled

Earlier, the government of Telangana had already announced the cancellation of Class 10 or Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exams in the state, after students and parents were opposing offline exams due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Telangana SSC Board will be coming up with an objective criterion for the evaluation and promotion of Class 10 students in the state, as the exams stand cancelled. The details of this assessment criterion will be announced soon.
Even though the Class 10 exams in Telangana stand cancelled, students will be given the option to appear for physical exams if they are not satisfied with their results. The physical exams will take place once the Covid-19 situation in the state is better.

CBSE is also yet to decide on its evaluation criteria for Class 12 students, who will be promoted without the conduction of exams this year. A 13-member committee has been set up for deciding the assessment criteria, which will be submitted in 10 days.

Telangana minister Eatala Rajender, once close aide of KCR, to quit TRS

A month after his removal from the K Chandrasekhar Rao cabinet, former Telangana minister Eatala Rajender is all set to quit TRS and join BJP. He met BJP national president JP Nadda in Delhi a couple of days ago. The once close aide of KCR is likely to resign as MLA on Friday.

Soon after his resignation, Rajender is likely to address a press conference to explain the reasons for his exit from the pink party and detail his future plans.

Sources close to Rajender said though the date of joining the saffron party has not yet been finalised, it’s tentatively scheduled on June 8. Along with him, former Yellareddy MLA Enugu Ravinder Reddy, former Karimnagar ZP chairperson Tula Uma and Sammi Reddy, a local leader from Huzurabad constituency, would be joining the saffron party.

Ravinder Reddy, a four-time MLA, had lost in the 2018 assembly elections to Congress candidate Jajula Surender. After the elections, Surender quit Congress and joined TRS. Since then, Ravinder Reddy has been reportedly unhappy with the TRS leadership.

He has been moving closely with Rajender after the latter’s removal from the cabinet.

Tula Uma is cut up with the TRS leadership after she was denied a ticket to contest from the Vemulawada assembly constituency and she did even get a chance to serve as ZP chairperson for the second term.

Sources said the BJP leadership and Rajender were hopeful many people would quit the pink party and join the saffron party. “Some leaders wanted to support Rajender and, due to pressures from the ruling party, they sought more time. We are hopeful that they will also be joining us soon,” a close aide of Rajender said.

Immediately after Rajender was dropped from the cabinet, the TRS leadership had roped in ministers Gangula Kamalakar, T Harish Rao and leaders like former MP B Vinod Kumar, Karimnagar mayor Y Sunil Rao, MLC Naradasu Laxman Rao and others to ensure other leaders do not quit the party and sail with Eatala.

The ministers held separate meetings with MPTCs, ZPTCs, councillors, municipal chairpersons and advised them not to join the former minister. The party succeeded in stopping many leaders from supporting him.

Covid-19: Children hit hard, over 37,000 infected in Telangana ..

Telangana health authorities on Wednesday said that 37,332 children in the 0-19 age group were infected with the novel coronavirus between March and May this year, even as they brainstorm ways to stop the virus from spreading further among the younger lot.
Armed with statistics of the first wave of 19,824 children affected with the virus between August 15 and November 15, 2020, officials said they are getting ready with more beds, equipment, and awareness drives. Chief secretary Somesh Kumar had a series of meetings with doctors and experts on possible third wave and increase of cases among children. Plans are being laid to make at least 5,000 beds available for children.

“There is also a thought process in the government that there will be more MIS-C cases (Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome) among children, even from July,” a top official from the health department told TOI.
More MIS-C cases among children below 10 are being seen now, with 9,858 cases reported during the second wave as against 6,250 cases in the first wave.

When contacted, the director of medical education (DME) K Ramesh Reddy said they are confident of tackling the situation when it comes to below 10 years age group.
“During the first wave we saw about 1,000 children with MIS-C getting admitted in the Gandhi Hospital but now there are only 500 such cases, none of them has been serious,” he said.

But he added that MIS-C among kids is a concern, as there are always a fear of more cases surfacing in future.
“We are gearing up to face more cases and Niloufer and Gandhi Hospital will be nodal centres with1,500 beds in Niloufer hospital alone,” Reddy said.
According to Dr Subodh Kanthmuthan, director at the Centre for Healthcare Management in Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI), the more number of cases during the second wave in children is a result of adults roaming the streets without taking enough precautions.
“More than medical reasons, the curbs that were observed during the first wave and last year lockdown are missing this year, and adults are moving around and in turn infecting children at home.

Telangana minister KTR says Sonu Sood is superhero. Actor reacts

Telangana minister KTR called Sonu Sood a superhero in a recent tweet. Sonu thanked KTR for his kind words and also mentioned how the minister has been helping the people of Telangana in this hour of need.

During the Covid-19 crisis, there have been several celebrities who extended their support to those in need of medical help. Sonu Sood has been one such celebrity, who has kept no stone unturned to help people with medical supplies, oxygen cylinders and concentrators and hospital beds. His selfless work did not go unnoticed by the Minister of Municipal Administration and Urban Development of Telangana, KT Rama Rao.

Recently a man who received help from KTR, took to Twitter to thank him. The man had requested for an oxygen cylinder for a friend's father which was delivered to him within 10 hours. The Twitter user called KTR the “real superhero” and wrote, “ Once again I can't thank you enough KTR garu. We Received requested within 10 hours. You Helped many till date and we never forget your continous help to TG people. And I must say this today, you are a real heart (sic).”

Responding to his tweet, KT Rama Rao wrote that he is just doing his bit to ease the pain of the people. However, it is Sonu Sood who should be addressed as a “superhero”. “Am just an elected public representative doing my bit brother. You can call a super hero for sure Thumbs up. Also, request you to kindly help others in distress (sic),” he wrote.

Sonu Sood was touched by the Telangana minister’s kind words. While the actor thanked KTR for showering him with appreciation, he also did not forget to mention how he has been doing so much for the people of Telangana. The actor added that he considers Telangana as his second home. “Thank you so much sir for your kind words! But you are truly a hero who has done so much for Telangana. The state has developed so much under your leadership. I consider Telangana as my second Home as it’s my place of work & the people have shown me so much love over the years (sic),” Sonu Sood tweeted.

Sonu Sood has been a ‘messiah’ for hundreds of people who couldn’t afford medical treatment. The actor has been working day and night to ensure that anyone who comes to him asking for help does not return empty-handed.

Telangana: Super-spreader Khammam wedding leaves 4 dead, 100 positive

HYDERABAD: A marriage ceremony in tribal village of Muthyalagudem in Khammam district on May 14 turned out as a Covid-19 superspreader. Four persons, including bridegroom’s father, have died and nearly 100 people have been infected with the virus.
Two persons succumbed to the virus on Wednesday. With no villager, including the family members, willing to come forward to perform the last rites, the local gram panchayat in Karepalli mandal stepped in to conduct the last rites of the bridegroom’s father. Those who tested positive are in home isolation. According to health officials, over 250 people attended the wedding in the village. In the tests conducted, as many as 100 people have tested positive for Covid-19 and they all have attended the marriage function.

While Covid-19 measures were reportedly taken at the May 14 event, they were not strictly adhered to by the guests as several of them reportedly did not wear masks. For the families of the couple, relatives and friends who attended the wedding, everything seemed fine for a week.

One of the persons, who attended the wedding, developed Covid-19 symptoms and his report came positive on May 20. Some more individuals also tested positive in the next few days after coming back from the wedding.
The health officials have taken measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in the village and advised the people not to venture out of their houses.

The officials are also in the process of testing and contact tracing.
It may be recalled a wedding ceremony in Hanmajipet village in Nizamabad district in April was a superspreader event after 87 guests tested positive for Covid-19.
Elsewhere in Khammam district, two more persons have succumbed to the virus. In Pothireddygudem village of Gundala mandal, a 50-yearold man died. In Vepakuntla village in Raghunathapalem village, a woman who was sent home from the hospital after recovering from Covid-19 developed breathing problems. She was rushed to the hospital but died.

5 hospitals in Hyderabad barred from admitting new COVID cases for violations

Virinchi Hospitals in Banjara Hills has been barred from admitting new COVID patients and to charge the existing in-patients as per the rate card fixed by the government.

DPH finds excess billing, protocol violations found by the hospitals; A total of 88 complaints filed against 64 hospitals in the State

The Director of Public Health, Telangana, has cracked whip against five hospitals in the City for violation of treatment protocols in COVID-19 management and on charges of inappropriate and surplus billing for the novel coronavirus cases treatment and barred them from admitting new cases of COVID.

However, the DPH has made it clear to the hospitals concerned that no inconvenience should be caused to the patients already under treatment. Further, the hospitals were told to charge the patients as per ceilings fixed by the government and in case of any violation of the present orders “the government will be compelled to cancel the license issued to the hospitals concerned”.

According the separate orders issued by DPH G. Srinivasa Rao on Friday, the hospitals that have been barred from admitting new COVID patients and to charge the existing in-patients as per the rate card fixed by the government include Virinchi Hospital Banjara Hills, Max Health Hospital KPHB, Neelima Hospital Sanathnagar, TX Hospital Kachiguda and VINN Hospital Begumpet.

The DPH stated in the orders that the violation of protocols and excess billing were proved following complaints were lodged against the hospitals and the explanation given by some hospitals were not satisfactory. According to a list issued by the DPH, a total of 88 complaints/grievances were received against 64 hospitals and showcause notices were issued to all of them.

A maximum of 6 complaints were received against Omni Hospital Kukatpally followed by 5 against Vinn Hospital Begumpet, 3 each against TX Hospital Kachiguda and Udai Mini Hospital Abids, 2 each against 11 hospitals and one each against 49 hospitals in the State.

Meanwhile, Telangana chapter of the Indian Medical Association has condemned the reported vandalism and physical assault on doctors and supporting staff of Virinchi Hospital by a mob of 16 people said to be the relatives of a deceased COVID-19 patient V. Vamshi, who succumbed to the virus on May 22 in the hospital.

“If they have any complaint or grievance, there is a procedure to be followed instead of resorting to physical violence and damaging the hospital property,” president of IMA D. Lava Kumar Reddy and secretary B. Narender Reddy said on Friday adding that it was a criminal offence and the persons concerned had to be punished.

55% of new cases from Karnataka, TN, Kerala, Andhra & Telangana

In the last 24 hours, 186,364 new Covid-19 cases were reported in the country. Of this, 101,522, or 55%, were from the five southern states. At present, seven states in India have over 100,000 active cases.

Over half of fresh cases reported are from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, even as cases in Delhi and Maharashtra, the two major Covid-19 drivers, have started declining.

In the last 24 hours, 186,364 new Covid-19 cases were reported in the country. Of this, 101,522, or 55%, were from the five southern states. At present, seven states in India have over 100,000 active cases. Four are southern states, with Karnataka and Tamil Nadu overtaking Maharashtra.

As of Friday, Karnataka has 402,224 and Tamil Nadu 313,048 active cases. Andhra Pradesh and Kerala figures are also relatively substantial, though Keral’s daily new cases have almost halved from what it was a week ago. The second wave has followed almost the same trajectory as the first. Mumbai and Delhi were the first hotspots exhibiting high transmission levels and later the infection was concentrated in the south.

“The onset of the second wave in the southern states has been later than states like Maharashtra and Delhi. The pattern suggests the cases would gradually come down over the next two weeks. The virus has followed, more or less, the same trajectory as the first, with outbreaks first in Mumbai and Delhi and then moving southwards,” Public Health Foundation of India’s Giridhara R Babu told ET.

IIT Kanpur’s Manindra Agrawal, who has developed a mathematical model to predict Covid-19 trajectory, says, “Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are already showing a decline in cases. The reduction is not significant, but it in a week it will be more pronounced. The second wave will start tapering off.” His mode, Sutra, has predicted that by end of June the second wave would finally be over. “Andhra Pradesh is exhibiting a different trend, where the curve flattens around the peak and it could go either way.” Even with more cases, the death ratio of the five states are below the all-India average.

Telangana’s numbers stand out among southern states but Babu attributes the low caseload to poor testing. “Testing is the key in detection. This is the main reason why there is a difference between other states and Telangana. The testing in Telangana is poor. Even Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka had better tests per million in the first wave than now; they are testing far less. In most states, 50% of the testing is done in the capital city and urban districts. The remaining 50% remains distributed across rural districts of the state. Therefore, you see poor detection in rural areas.” While neighbouring Andhra Pradesh reported 16,167 cases on Thursday, Telangana reported 3,614 new cases.

Babu suggests incentivising states to detect cases so that “culture of data collection” is transformed. “This can be done by incentivising detection and not penalising those who report. This is how it was done for polio, when India followed a syndromic approach. Districts were asked to find acute flaccid paralysis in children (onset of weakness or paralysis). If the districts did not find one case per million, it was clear its surveillance system was not working efficiently. This exercise had to be done repeatedly and a large population combed through by strict review, resulting in world-class surveillance programme.

Telangana to take up second dose of vaccination from today

HYDERABAD: In what could bring cheer to many people eagerly waiting for their second dose of vaccine, chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday said the vaccination programme will be taken up again from Tuesday.

The CM urged those who have taken the first dose of vaccine and are eligible for the second shot, to go to the government vaccination centres nearby and take the jab. The Telangana government had stopped the vaccination drive a couple of weeks ago following severe shortage of vaccines. Those intended to take the first vaccine will need to wait for some more time as preference will be given to those awaiting their second shot.

Directing the officials to kick off the second dose vaccination programme from Tuesday, the CM asked finance minister T Harish Rao to prepare fresh guidelines to identify Covid-19 superspreaders and organise special vaccination camps for them.
