Spanning 32,500 square meters and occupying six exhibition halls at the HITEC venue in Hyderabad, the expo is expected to draw over 30,000 business visitors. Scheduled from November 22-24, the three-day exhibition is a showcase of the latest developments in poultry management, animal health, nutrition, breeding, and poultry farm equipment.

Challenges and Government Support

Acknowledging challenges faced by the industry, Uday Singh Bayas expressed confidence in the government’s commitment to safeguarding the sector. The poultry industry, through its resilience and innovations, stands as a showcase of success globally. It remains a key contributor to India’s agricultural GDP, emphasizing low-cost models, increased productivity, and positive socio-economic impacts.

Call for Government Support and Relief Measures

The Indian poultry sector, contributing significantly to the national GDP, seeks support and relief measures from the government. Challenges include the availability and pricing of essential inputs like maize and DO Soya cake for feed, factors impacting the industry’s viability. The industry appeals for policy measures promoting maize cultivation, supporting processing industry growth, and providing incentives for investment.

Continued Advocacy for the Poultry Industry

The industry appreciates the support of state and central governments in addressing challenges such as cage bans, environmental concerns, and other advocacy issues. The industry calls for continued support to present its case effectively through media and courts.

As India continues to be a global poultry success story, the industry looks forward to sustained growth, government support, and collaborative efforts to overcome challenges and contribute to the nation’s prosperity.

Babu Mohan served as the Minister for Labour in the TDP cabinet but faced electoral defeats in 2004 and 2009.

“Revanth Reddy Challenges BJP’s Backward Class Chief Minister Pledge, Predicts High Deposit Losses for Candidates”

0

Telangana Congress President A. Revanth Reddy took a dig at the BJP on Sunday, criticizing their promise to have a Chief Minister from the Backward Classes (BC). Reddy questioned how a party, whose candidates struggle to save their deposits, could make such a commitment, referring to the BJP’s election manifesto.

In the BJP’s manifesto, they pledged to appoint a leader from the backward classes as the Chief Minister if voted to power. Revanth Reddy expressed skepticism about the party’s credibility, especially in light of its reluctance to conduct a Backward Caste census. He stated, “People are not ready to believe what they are promising,” during the ‘Meet the Press’ program in Hyderabad.

The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief highlighted the fact that BJP candidates forfeited deposits in 105 out of 119 constituencies in the previous elections. He predicted that this trend would continue, with BJP candidates losing deposits in 110 constituencies this time.

Revanth Reddy also criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement regarding the constitution of a committee on SC sub-categorization in reservations. He questioned the government’s inaction on this demand over the past decade.

During a public meeting organized by the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) on November 11, Prime Minister Modi had announced the formation of a committee to explore empowerment options for Madigas. Revanth Reddy predicted that the BJP would conveniently forget this promise after the elections.

The Congress leader also took aim at the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) over the power issue, challenging the government to prove that farmers in the state receive 24-hour power. Reddy claimed that Congress was the first party to provide free electricity to farmers and asserted that, if elected, a Praja Darbar would be established at the State Secretariat to address people’s grievances.

Building Owner Arrested as Death Toll Rises to 10 in Hyderabad Apartment Fire Tragedy

0

Hyderabad : In the aftermath of the November 13 fire tragedy in a Hyderabad apartment complex, the death toll has now reached 10. The police have taken swift action by arresting the building owner, Ramesh Kumar Jaiswal, nearly a week after the devastating incident unfolded at Balaji Residency in Bazarghat. The victims include families residing in rented flats within the four-storey building.

The catastrophe was triggered by a fire in chemical drums stored in the stilt floor of the structure. The police have charged Jaiswal under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including culpable homicide not amounting to murder (IPC section 304 (II)), negligent conduct with respect to fire or combustible matter (IPC section 285), negligent conduct with respect to explosive substance (IPC section 286), and section 9B (1) (b) of the Explosives Act.

According to the police, a complaint filed by resident Mohd. Ahmed revealed the sequence of events leading to the tragedy. Ahmed reported hearing screams and witnessing a car in front of Balaji Residency catch fire around 9:20 AM. The ensuing explosion of resin drums created thick smoke, hindering the escape of residents on the upper floors. The Fire Brigade responded promptly, but tragically, nine individuals on the second and third floors succumbed to burns and suffocation.

The death toll rose to 10 on Saturday with the demise of 17-year-old student Talha Nasar. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Zone) M. Venkateshwarlu revealed that the accused, Jaiswal, engaged in wholesale and retail business involving the purchase and distribution of resin. Despite repeated warnings from residents, Jaiswal continued to store flammable resin drums illegally on the stilt floor, using it as a makeshift warehouse.

The investigation uncovered that on November 11, Jaiswal received 32 cans of 35 kg each containing resin, which were stored in the stilt floor. The massive fire erupted on November 13, originating from the south side where Jaiswal had stored the resin cans. The police seized 30 drums and 88 cans of resin chemical during the investigation, sending samples to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for examination. Additionally, two DVRs from the building were confiscated and sent to the FSL for data retrieval.

U.S. Supreme Court Pauses Resolution on Illinois’ High-Power Semiautomatic Weapons Ban

0

In a move that prolongs the legal battle, the U.S. Supreme Court has delayed the resolution of the challenge against Illinois’ ban on high-power semiautomatic weapons. The ban, known as the Protect Illinois Communities Act, was enacted by the state Legislature in response to a mass shooting in Highland Park on the Fourth of July.

State representative Dan Caulkins [R-Decatur] initiated the legal challenge, petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court after both the Illinois Supreme Court and a federal appeals court upheld the ban earlier this year. The Supreme Court has docketed Caulkins’ petition, effectively putting the case on hold until a later date.

Caulkins contends that alleged conflicts of interest involving two Illinois Supreme Court justices should disqualify them from ruling on the ban. He argues that these conflicts undermine the principles of the republican form of government and the separation of powers.

The Protect Illinois Communities Act prohibits the possession, manufacture, or sale of semiautomatic rifles and high-capacity magazines. It encompasses a ban on specific brands or types of rifles and handguns, .50-caliber guns, attachments, rapid-firing devices, and imposes restrictions on the number of rounds for rifles and handguns.

As the legal battle continues, the future resolution of this case will likely have broader implications for the ongoing debate surrounding gun control measures in the United States.

Alleged Poll Code Violation: Case Filed Against KCR and Harish Rao Over “420 Manifesto” Remark

0

Hyderabad: The Telangana Congress has registered a case with the Election Commission, alleging a violation of the Model Code of Conduct against Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Chief and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, as well as Finance Minister T Harish Rao, over their disparaging remarks about the Congress’s manifesto.

In the complaint addressed to Chief Electoral Officer Vikas Raj, the Congress party specifically pointed to Harish Rao’s ridicule of the Congress’s 42-page manifesto, terming it a ‘420-manifesto.’ The Congress asserts that such remarks constitute a breach of the electoral code.

This complaint comes in the wake of heightened political tensions in Telangana, with both the Congress and BRS filing complaints against each other with the Election Commission, adding an extra layer of contention to the ongoing election campaign.
