@balaji25_t Balaji garu why is there a variation in temperatures put out by different weather apps or stations. The temperatures given by TSDPS are much lower than, say, the weather app in winter and much higher in summers

@TheNaveena Done a good job. You made it abundantly clear that cleaning the Musi is an ‘upstream’ task.

The 10 day long Dandari dance festival, part of Diwali celebrations, of the Raj Gond, Pardhan and the Kolam aboriginal tribes of Adilabad, Telangana, is a form of worship of Yetmasar pen, the god of music. The videos are from Modi village in Kumram Bheem Asifabad district.

An incident of attempted rape as well as savage physical assault of a tribal woman was the cause of their rage towards one of the local non-tribal communities to which the accused belonged. In the larger context, however, the tribals were agitated over the manner in which the laws that constitutionally are meant to protect them from vulnerabilities are perpetually being flouted to their detriment.

The tribals, predominantly an agrarian community, have demanded an audience with Telangana Chief Minister ARevanth Reddy to air their grievances. They have demanded strict implementation of laws that govern the Scheduled Areas, alternately known as Agency areas, thereby insulating them from malafide intentions and actions against their culture, traditions and well-being.

Aboriginal Communities
A deep dive into the history of the ethnic tribes in North Telangana will only reveal a trail of unhindered exploitation and bullying over the last century and a half, and perhaps more importantly the abject failure of rulers in protecting them against economic and cultural assaults. No doubt, Jainoor was waiting to happen. @hsinghs48 #tribal #Telangana https://t.co/2cwLPycmwg

When it rains in hilly areas the waterfalls come alive and when rains give a respite, out come the farmers. Monsoon generally brings everything back to life.

“Nothing says it is time to start anew like the rain.”

Current rains save seeds sown under dry conditions earlier and spur agricultural activity in the hilly tribal areas of erstwhile united Adilabad district in Telangana.

[HARPAL SINGH @hsinghs48]

@palagummi_S Many places have received first rains during the last three or four days and the seeds sown were saved. A majority of cotton farmers have opted for dry seeding. The initial threat to seeds had waned but there is always that proverbial slip between the cup and the lip.
