Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who began her two-day visit of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday, inaugurated the strategically important Pratham-Shyok bridge on Saturday. The bridge which has been a long-standing demand of the Indian Armed Forces posted in the difficult terrain of Ladakh will link Leh to Karakoram and provide crucial assistance for military transport on the Darbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Olde axis.

In her interaction with officers and personnel of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), Sitharaman hailed their efforts at constructing bridges and roads at such high-altitudes and through its tricky topography as “nothing short of a miracle”.

The Pratham-Shyok bridge built on the Shyok Gong river – a key water body of the Ladakh region – is not only crucial for the Indian Armed Forces but will also help locals commuting between villages of the region.

Sitharaman told the BRO and security personnel that the central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is “committed to spending time with the jawans and do whatever is possible for them.”

This is Sitharaman’s first visit to J&K ever since she was elevated as defence minister by Modi during the expansion and reshuffle of his council of ministers in September 3. She is the first woman to hold full charge of the country’s defence portfolio.

On Friday, when Sitharaman reached Srinagar to begin her visit of the state and review security situation in the strife-torn region, she went to the Chinar Corps Headquarters where she was given an overview of counter-infiltration and counter-militancy operations carried out by the Army across the Valley.

She also held discussions with J&K Governor NN Vohra and Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti with whose party –PDP – the BJP is running a coalition government in the state.

An official spokesman said that Mufti has sought Sitharaman’s “personal intervention” to ensure that certain pockets of land in the state that were no longer required for military purposes but were still under control of the Indian Army are returned to the state government. The chief minister, it is learnt, also pitched for construction of tunnels at Razdan pass on Bandipore- Gurez road and Sadhana pass on the Kupwara- Tangdhar road and proposed the idea of opening the Battalik and Siachin base for tourism purposes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Telangana CM Revanth Reddy meets Tollywood actors, filmmakers, says celebrities must control their fans

Telangana CM Revanth Reddy has assured Tollywood actors and filmmakers that his government stands with the Telugu film industry and made it clear that there will be no compromise on law and order.

The Chief Minister held a meeting with Tollywood actors and filmmakers on Thursday amid strained ties between the ruling dispensation and the tinseltown following the arrest of Pushpa 2 actor Allu Arjun. CM Revanth Reddy said that celebrities must control their fans and the industry must be responsible.

The meeting took place at Telangana State Police Command and Control Centre at Banjara Hills in Hyderabad. The delegation of influential people from Tollywood was led by Telangana Film Development Corporation (FDC) chairman Dil Raju. Actors such as Nagarjuna, Varun Tej, Sai Dharam Tej, Kalyan Ram, Shiva Balaji, Adavi Sesh, Nithin, and Venkatesh among other attendees.

The meeting also included directors Koratala Siva, Anil Ravipudi, K Raghavendra Rao, Prashanth Varma, Sai Rajesh, and producers Suresh Babu, KL Narayana, Damodhar, Allu Aravind, BVSN Prasad, and Chinna Babu, among others.

Earlier on December 4, when Allu Arjun attended the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule at Sandhya Theatre, a massive crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor, and chaos ensued when he waved to fans from the sunroof of his car. This resulted in the tragic death of a 35-year-old woman and injuries to her eight-year-old child.

Furthermore, some ruling Congress leaders have found fault with Allu Arjun’s comments last week, describing the stampede incident as purely accidental and denying the allegations made by CM Revanth Reddy on the roadshow before the film screening.

This incident has also sparked political controversy. Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy blamed Allu Arjun for the tragedy, stating in the Assembly that police had denied permission for any event at Sandhya Theatre due to safety concerns. However, the actor dismissed the allegations, calling them an attempt at character assassination.
