The Special Officer, CURE Area
The Addl. Chief Secretary, MA&UD, Government of Telangana
@jayesh_ranjan
Sir,

On behalf of The Citizens Council, we express our serious concern over the manual cleaning and desilting of nalas currently being undertaken in the CURE area.

We urge your immediate intervention to stop this hazardous and unlawful practice. Manual entry into drains and physical desilting expose sanitation workers to life-threatening risks from toxic gases, contaminated sludge, and other occupational hazards. Every sanitation worker has the right to work in a safe and dignified environment.

The Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013 prohibits hazardous manual cleaning, and the Supreme Court of India has repeatedly emphasized that such work should be carried out through mechanised means to protect human life and dignity.

We therefore request you to immediately halt all manual desilting activities in the CURE area and direct all contractors to deploy appropriate machinery such as excavators, jetting machines, suction machines, and other mechanised equipment for cleaning and desilting of nalas.

Protecting the lives of sanitation workers is not merely an administrative responsibility—it is a legal and moral obligation.

We look forward to your immediate intervention in the interest of worker safety, statutory compliance, and humane governance.

– The Citizens Council-

One rain, and it’s a collapse everywhere.

Now it’s Ahmedabad, Gujarat, where the BJP has had every possible engine of government for the last 30 years.

No matter how many engines or how many years they are in power, the BJP cannot deliver development because it is a gang of the corrupt and thugs.

To the Government of India:
@PMOIndia @PIB_India @pib_law @HMOIndia @mygovindia

We have now reviewed, carefully and more than once, the full courtroom recording from the June 30, 2026 Supreme Court hearing on ethanol allocation — the same recording that has been circulating widely on social media and that prompted the PIB's clarification that evening.

Set aside the single word “experiment” entirely. Call it a slip of the tongue if you like. We will not reduce this issue to one word, because the complete video says far more than that.

The real picture is bigger, and it is more concerning.

The Attorney General 𝑯𝒐𝒏'𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑨𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝑹 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒌𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒊 J𝒊, speaking before the Supreme Court on the Government’s position, was not discussing an abstract policy debate. The hearing concerned distillers who built ethanol capacity under India’s national ethanol policy framework and are now fighting over offtake, allocation and payment obligations. The exchange refers to investment, exclusivity, lifting obligations, and ₹200 crore still due. These are not academic concerns. These are real businesses, real plants, real bank loans and billions of dollars of investment made on the back of a national policy push.

That is why the Government’s own position in court matters.

In public, E20 is presented as a settled national success: ₹1.4 lakh crore in claimed savings, farmers benefiting, energy security strengthened, and the programme moving decisively forward.

But when distillers who invested under that same policy framework ask for offtake and payment, the position becomes narrower: there was no guaranteed offtake, the agreement must be read carefully, and the obligation was only on a “best endeavour” basis because demand itself may rise or fall from year to year.

And before the Supreme Court, where the Government cannot afford to overstate, the position is even more revealing: demand remains uncertain, the future offtake position is not fixed, and the contractual obligation is best endeavour only.

That is the gap.

a> To the public, certainty.
b> To investors and distillers, fine print.
c> To the Supreme Court, uncertainty.

Three audiences. Three postures. One national programme.

We are struggling to find the version of this that is coherent policy rather than convenient positioning.

The issue is no longer whether one word was used in court. The issue is what the complete video reveals. If E20 is truly a settled national success, why is the Government speaking with absolute confidence in public while taking a far more cautious contractual position when payment, offtake and liability are tested in court?

If demand is uncertain before the Supreme Court, why is certainty being sold outside the Supreme Court?

If offtake is only “best endeavour” when distillers seek payment, what exactly were businesses encouraged to invest against?

Billions of dollars of investment, real operating businesses and real banking exposure are now sitting inside the gap between public policy messaging and courtroom/legal positioning.

We are not drawing a final conclusion. We are asking the Government to explain the gap in its own words, publicly, clearly, and in the same precise language it uses before the Supreme Court.

Spot-on analysis by @VishhalSJain .
The E20 policy is drenched in structural contradictions and a staggering lack of transparency at every single level:

1. The Supply Gap: Screaming "assured success" to the public, but shielding behind "best endeavour" fine print in court when actual distillers demand their ₹200 Cr dues and promised offtake.

2. The Credit Risk: Billions in private investment and banking exposure are now trapped in the massive chasm between public messaging and courtroom liability-dodging.

3. The Vehicle Impact: The absolute worst part? The end consumer is left entirely in the dark. Forcing corrosive, lower-calorific E20 fuel onto vehicle engines without transparent long-term material compatibility data or consumer safeguards.

Policy cannot run on convenient positioning while shifting all structural and mechanical risk onto investors, banks, and vehicle owners. The government needs to give a straight, legally precise answer.

BIG BREAKING

Another Major Multi Crore Scam !!

Do u know the reason why all the Outsourced Laboratory Services of 28 Hospitals , 203 dispensaries, 370 Ayushman Mandirs have been stopped abruptly by BJP Govt ?

BJP’s Delhi Govt was forced to stop these services because district level doctors/officers were questioning various provisions of the Outsourced Lab tender/processes adopted/decisions.

This tender was awarded last year by Rekha Gupta Govt somewhere in mid 2025. Since then, there were regular complaints about this outsourced lab services tender. Pending accord of approval to continue the services into the second year, outsourced lab services

Villa, 50-acre land bank, luxury flats: Telangana DSP booked in DA case

ACB raids uncover properties across Telangana, Karnataka; cash, 2 kg gold seized

A Telangana deputy superintendent of police allegedly amassed a portfolio of villas, luxury apartments, commercial properties, more than 50 acres of land, cash, gold and investments far beyond his known sources of income, prompting the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to register a disproportionate assets case and conduct searches at 16 locations on Thursday.

The ACB booked Sankireddy Bheem Reddy, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Police Computer Services (PCS), Hyderabad, under Sections 13(1)(b) and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, as amended in 2018, alleging that he acquired assets disproportionate to his known sources of income by indulging in corrupt practices and dubious means during his service. Searches were carried out at his residence and 15 other premises linked to his relatives, friends, alleged benamidars and associates.

Among the assets traced were a villa at Vessella Meadows in Ibrahimbagh, a G+2 house with a penthouse and another flat in Telecom Nagar, a flat at Kranti Ceon Apartments in Gachibowli, two flats in Tellapur, a share in a G+5 commercial complex on Lancohills Road in Manikonda, a 3,000 sq ft commercial space near Manikonda Marrichettu Junction and several open plots in Nagole, Patancheru, Pragathi Resorts and Mominpet.

The ACB also found documents relating to agricultural land measuring 3.5 acres at Zaheerabad in Sangareddy district, six acres and another 38 acres in Karnataka, one acre at Devanahalli near Bengaluru, two acres at Mominpet in Vikarabad district and 4.20 acres at Muchintala village in CC Kunta. Investigators also identified an investment of ₹75 lakh in M/s Sri Raghavendra Rock Sand Minerals.

During the searches, officials recovered about ₹3.6 lakh in cash from the officer’s residence and another ₹40 lakh from the house of an alleged benamidar. They also found gold ornaments weighing about two kilograms, silver articles weighing about 20 kilograms and bank balances of approximately ₹19.91 lakh.

The ACB said the market value of the immovable properties could be many times higher than their registered value. Officials also found 23 foreign liquor bottles at the officer’s residence and informed the Excise department for further action. Verification of additional assets is under way, and the investigation is continuing.

[Government of India Shadow @GoIShadow]

It is sad to say but the truth is that as long as this criminal duo is in power, there is no hope of early release for Sanjiv Bhatt.

He is already serving a life-term for a custodial death that happened way back in 1990 while he was on a day's deputation to a neighboring district and a riot broke out of VHP supporters during the arrest of L.K. Advani. More than 130 people were rounded up, on that day and one of them died two weeks later in a hospital due to kidney failure.

This was called a custodial death by the courts and Sanjiv Bhatt was sentenced for life.

In another case of planting drugs on a lawyer, he has been sentenced for a period of 20 years, and the court has said that this sentence will start after the life sentence gets over.

No appeal is working. He is in jail and is being moved around to the farthest jail in the state making it difficult for his family to visit him as and when it is allowed.

Sanjiv Bhatt is more dangerous for the criminal duo as he has worked under them and knows secrets that Umar Khalid or Sharjeel Imam don't know, thus the two cases can't be compared.

It is going to be almost impossible for Sanjiv Bhatt to get a fair trial in Gujarat and with the Supreme Court too as long as BJP and in particular the criminal duo are in power.

We can't do much except support the family from time to time as they knock on the doors of courts trying to get him bail.

While convicts like Ram Rahim have enjoyed long periods of parole for 'good-behavior', no such concession has been extended to Sanjiv Bhatt, who has completed more than seven years in jail...
