Don’t uproot plants brought from Hyderabad: MLA Ashok Rai appeals to public
Puttur: MLA Ashok Kumar Rai appealed to the public not to uproot flower plants brought from Hyderabad, which have been planted along the divider on the Puttur-Uppinangady road. In a public appeal on Saturday, he requested people to refrain from damaging these plants, mats, and water pipes and instead support the development efforts in the area.
The appeal was made during an inspection of the Puttur-Uppinangady road project along with officials from the Forest and Social Forestry departments and the Public Works Department (PWD). Speaking to the media, Ashok Kumar Rai stated that a budget of Rs 20 crore has been sanctioned for developing this road, aiming to make it a model project.
Requesting people to avoid tampering with the plants, he urged the public to report anyone damaging them by capturing photos and submitting them to the police.
He also informed that road repairs between Berike and Nekkiladi had been impacted by recent rains, but contractors would soon complete the necessary repair and maintenance work. Additionally, the Bolwar-Harady, Sediapu-Kodimbady, and Nekkiladi sections will begin work on the four-lane expansion later this year.
He further added that an additional request for Rs 5 crore has been submitted to the government for installing street lights along the divider, with the aim of completing a fully developed four-lane road between Puttur and Uppinangady.
Accompanying him during the inspection were PWD Assistant Executive Engineer Rajaram, Assistant Engineer Tausif, Social Forestry Officer Vidya Rani, Deputy Forest Officer Yashodhara K., and several local leaders.

Pawan Khera denied anticipatory bail in passport case: Cong stands up for senior member
New Delhi: The Congress party has stood by Pawan Khera, the Chairman of the party’s Media and Publicity Department, expressing confidence that regardless of hurdles like politics of threat and intimidation, justice would emerge victorious.
Khera was denied anticipatory bail by the Gauhati High Court on Friday in the case filed against him by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma for alleging that she possessed not only multiple passports but also undisclosed properties abroad.
Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has said in a post in Hindi on his ‘X’ account, “The entire Indian National Congress stands in solidarity with Pawan Khera, the Chairman of its Media and Publicity Department. The process to challenge the Gauhati High Court’s decision in the Supreme Court is underway.” In the post, which he put up on Friday, Ramesh has added, “We are confident that justice will prevail over the politics of threats, intimidation, and harassment.”
Bhuyan Sarma has lodged also an FIR seeking legal action against Pawan Khera for his allegations that she possesses passports of three countries and owns a company in the US, which had invested Rs. 50,000 crores. She has filed criminal cases against the Congress leader at the Guwahati Crime Branch Police Station under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
