Five die, 100 sick after drinking contaminated water in Hyderabad

dsc_0037_554865192

At least four people died while about 100 others fell sick in Hyderabad Tuesday after drinking contaminated water.

Earlier reports had put the number of those who died at five.

The incident in Bholakpur area in Secunderabad sent panic among the people while the government swung into action after the public outcry by ordering suspension of an official and announcing Rs.200,000 compensation to the kin of each of the deceased.

Taking a serious note of the incident, the state human rights commission asked the government to submit a detailed report by 11 a.m. Wednesday.

Tension prevailed in the Bholakpur colony as hundreds of people took to the streets following the death of four persons since Tuesday morning. Police also had a tough time controlling angry crowds at four hospitals, where about 100 people – a majority of them children – were admitted.

Officials of Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB), which supplies drinking water to the city, said it was a case of suspected contamination.

Backward Classes Welfare Minister Mukesh Goud, who is supervising the relief operations, told reporters this evening that the government was suspending the board manager David Raju.

The government also ordered an inquiry by a senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) official. The minister announced that the officer had been asked to submit the report in three days. “We will take stern action against those officials whose negligence led to the tragic incident,” he said.

The minister also announced the compensation to the kin of those who died.

Water bottles containing polluted water supplied through pipelines were kept near the body of a woman at her house as her relatives and neighbours staged angry protests against the authorities.

Raising slogans against the water board officials, angry residents also took to the streets in Bholakpur and adjoining areas, demanding immediate arrest of the officials responsible for the tragedy.

“See how polluted this water is,” said a resident while showing a bottle containing highly contaminated water.

Angry residents also pelted stones on the car of Secunderabad MP Anjan Kumar Yadav. A local official of the water board ran to safety when a number of youths cornered him accusing him of ignoring their complaints of contaminated water supply.

Protesters also gathered outside the office of the board and entered into heated arguments with the police. They alleged that they had been getting contaminated water for the last three days and the authorities did not act on their complaints.

According to the locals, water contaminated with worms, ants, pollutants and mud particles was coming from the taps on Monday. Several people reported sick late Monday, complaining of loose motions, vomiting and fever.

The government directed that the supply of water through pipelines be immediately stopped. The board is making arrangements to supply water through tankers.

Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, who is away in Shimla, ordered an inquiry into the incident. He directed officials to take immediate steps to ensure supply of safe drinking water.

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N. Chandrababu Naidu, who is abroad, conveyed his sympathies to the families of the victims.

Actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi visited the Gandhi Hospital and called on those undergoing treatment.

Bholakpur, in the heart of the city, had several complaints of contaminated water supply in the past. Residents alleged that sewage often gets mixed with drinking water as the sewerage and water pipelines run parallel or even cross each other.

CPI Leader Mr Narayana Chiru comments

k-narayana_full1238289111

Unfazed by the sharp divisions in the Mahakutami (Grand Alliance), the CPI state secretary, Mr K. Narayana, has once against put forward his pet idea of sharing power with the Praja Rajyam in case of a hung House.

Mr Narayana feels this arrangement is essential for the stability of a non-Congress formation. The proposal is hypothetical, yet it can be discussed about, he added.

He has not discussed the proposal with either the Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, or Chiranjeevi.

Six months ago, Mr Narayana suggested sharing the Chief Minister’s post equally among Mr Naidu and Chiranjeevi.

He is reiterating the idea for the second time now as there is a possibility of a hung House.

Mr Narayana, who sounded optimistic, told mediapersons on Monday that the TD-led Grand Alliance would emerge victorious with a comfortable margin, trouncing the Congress and the Praja Rajyam.

In the same breath, he added that it would be better if the Grand Aliance and the PR strike a power sharing deal for a stable government in case a hung House emerges and scuttle the chances of the Congress forming a government.

He added: “It depends on how many seats the PR and the Grand Alliance will get. But in case the PR gets anywhere between 70 and 80 seats, it would be better for Mr Naidu and Chiranjeevi to share the Chief Minister’s post equally, (for two-and-a-half-years each) with their own agendas.”

“If the PR, Grand Alliance or even Congress gets majority on its own, we have to honour the people’s verdict, but if no party reaches the halfway mark, we have to search for alternatives,” he added.

If a situation arises where a Third Front is in a position to form the government, there is nothing wrong if the PR and Grand Alliance comes together to prevent the Congress from forming the government in the state.

Reacting to Mr Narayana’s proposal, the senior PR leader, Mr Ch. Harirama Jogaiah, said: “Anything is possible in politics. We are hopeful of forming the government on our own, but a proposal like making Chiranjeevi the CM here in lieu of our MPs’ support at the Centre is welcome.”

Hero Jagapathi Babu in politics?

adinetha_rev11240570238

Film hero Jagapathi Babu is also interested in coming to politics, at the earliest. “Yeah, I may come into politics soon, if not very immediately. It will happen in the near future,” Jagapathi Babu said in an interview to a television channel.

His latest film Adhineta, which is full of political overtones, has projected Jagapathi Babu in the role of Chief Minister, which closely resembles that of Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi. Even Jagapathi Babu admits this. “Had the film been released before elections, it would definitely have a lot of impact on the polling,” he said.

What does he mean? Is he looking up to PRP for his political entry?

Allu Aravind Playing With Ram Charan And Allu Arjun

allu-ram1241561945

If there is one thing that people in public life want to guard, it is their image. Money could be lost and regained but image once lost cannot be regained. No wonder when a hero like Chiranjeevi started a party he was banking on his clean and upright image. But the spoke in the wheel of PRP has always been Allu Arvind. The man has apparently made a serious dent in this image by making a business of selling tickets to aspirants in the PRP party.

Thanks for all this hanky-panky business from Allu Aravind, the image of Chiranjeevi and the image of scions of that family has taken an irreparable damage.

Big producers within Tollywood now do not want to work with Allu Arjun and Ram Charan Teja because of the bad image that Allu Arvind has created with his craving for quick money.

Analysts feel that the careers of the young guns would be affected in the future because of Allu Arvind.

PRP victory predicted 300 years ago!

prajarajyam-4

Believe it or not, the launch of Praja Rajyam Party and its victory in the elections was predicted three centuries ago by none other than Sri Pothuluri Veerabrahmendra Swamy, alias Brahmam garu!

This was revealed by PRP president Chiranjeevi’s brother in law and party’s general secretary Allu Aravind, at the 316th birth year of Veerabrahmendra Swamy. He recalled that the launch of a political party called Praja Rajyam and its commitment to social justice was mentioned in “Kalagnanam” written by Swamy 300 years ago.

“Somehow, we could not capitalise on this aspect during the elections. But still, the PRP will come to power, as per the predictions of Brahmamgaru. What he had predicted will definitely come true,” Aravind said.

PRP’s aid saves 7-yr-old’s life

3pan6b

HYDERABAD: In a noble gesture, the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) extended monetary support of Rs 17 lakh and saved the life of a seven-year-old boy who was suffering from liver disease.

PRP leaders D Sravankumar and Katyayani disclosed this to the media at the party office here Sunday.

According to them, as G Leala, a resident of Anakapalli, had married her brother- in-law, the two children born to her had congenital liver disease. While the first son, Mohan Sai, died last year, the second one was suffering from liver disease and needed a transplant.

The doctors stated that the transplant needed about Rs 22 lakh and the family was unable to pool up such a huge amount, they informed. The issue was brought to the notice of Chiranjeevi and he asked all the party leaders to donate money liberally, the PRP leaders said.

Meanwhile, party leader and Chiranjeevi’s brother Nagendrababu spoke to the management of a hospital and convincedPRP’s aid saves 7-yr-old’s life them to perform the transplant surgery for Rs 17 lakh, they said.

As many leaders contributed their part and party general secretary Allu Aravind contributed his part through the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust, the surgery became possible, said.

The surgery was performed on March 10 successfully as the boy’s mother donated a part of her liver, they informed.

Moved by the party’s gesture, Leala named her son Chiranjeevi and the kid wanted to see the PRP president as the Chief Minister.

‘Poaching flu’ scare spreads in Chiranjeevi, KCR camps

trs_397674492

Prajarajyam chief Chiranjeevi and Telangana Rashtra Samiti president K Chandrasekhar Rao are in no mood to let their guard down and take a break after the gruelling campaign unlike chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu. While the CM is cooling off in Shimla, Naidu headed off to an unknown destination in Europe.

Having received information that Congress “money managers’’ are on the prowl to poach their candidates, both Chiranjeevi and KCR are on an alert and are taking steps to keep the flock together.

The two leaders have reportedly started fortification measures to prevent the cash-rich Congress getting anywhere near their candidates.

Though both parties are ready to join hands with the Congress if the situation warrants, it is the ‘retail purchase’ of candidates that they fear. The negotiation or bargaining should be at the party level and not at the individual level, sources of PRP and TRS said.

Sources said it is the PRP which is more worried, as the party is said to have gathered information that some of its candidates have already been ‘won over’ by influential Congress candidates in several constituencies. Suspicion has fallen on some important leaders who joined the party just before the elections.

For now, Chiranjeevi has no plans to detain his candidates in the office or pack them off to a summer resort. But once the results are out on May 16, a camp to keep the victorious candidates together is not ruled out. This again depends on the number of seats it would win, sources said.

In the meantime, the actor-turned-politician is indulging in psychological operations to keep up the spirits of his herd. In the ongoing district-wise review meetings with candidates, Chiranjeevi is trotting out theories of silent revolution, huge turnout of women and youth, etc., and trying to convince the candidates that the party would form the government winning at least 160 seats.

The scene in the TRS is different. Telangana Bhawan, the party headquarters, has turned into an impregnable fortress since the last several days. The party chief has plans to detain all the candidates in the office from May 15 onwards.

The elected MLAs of the party will not be allowed to come out till the new government is formed. Sources said even the cellphone calls would be monitored.

The need for such precaution in the TRS has arisen following the split engineered in the party by the Congress in the 2004 elections.

Telugu Desam dismisses Chiru’s claim

kadiam_srihari_650207113

Telugu Desam leader Kadiam Srihari has made light of the claim by Praja Rajyam president K. Chiranjeevi that his party would get majority and maintained that the seats of the four-party Grand Alliance would cross the magic figure.

Talking to reporters here on Sunday, he said PRP’s performance would be much below par the expectations of Mr. Chiranjeevi and the fledgling party would not bag more than 30 seats.

It was not in a position to secure even 10 seats in as many districts in Telangana, he added.

Mr. Srihari also denied speculation that TDP was trying to woo Praja Rajyam saying where was the need for it when GA would get majority. On the likely partners in a Telugu Desam-led government, he said the respective parties would decide whether they should be part of the coalition regime.

He also ruled out the possibility of the party supporting either NDA or UPA at the Centre. The party along with the Left was strengthening a non-Congress, non-BJP alternative .
