It is quite common for people to take Traffic rules lightly during the night and tend to ignore them. But if you are in Hyderabad and if you are doing that, it is not good. Hyderabad has Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) CCTV cameras which record the violations 24 hours and automatically send the violations to Command and Control Center.Staff, there are registering cases against motorists based on the respective numbers. Penalties are being imposed. ANPR technology became available in January this year. Firstly, it was set up at three signals‌. Currently, about 20 signals have this technology in Cyberabad limits.&nbsp;With this technology, it is possible to impose more fines with less staff. Police said 4,96,214 cases of violations were registered through the ANPR system in ten months. Most of these violations are also at night. Dangerous driving / overspeeding, lack of helmet, wrong route, triple riding, signal jumping violations are more common in the photos taken by ANPR cameras.

The annual <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numaish">Numaish</a> event is the biggest event in Hyderabad each year. But then, thanks to the&nbsp; Pandemic, there have been no Numaish for the last two years. The Exhibition Society is conducting a Mini Numaish at Nampally Exhibition Grounds. The exhibition will go on till this month-end and the entrance fee is 25 Rupees per adult.The other noticeable thing is that Telangana Government used to provide free parking for Numaish. But there are paid Parking options for Mini-Numaish. There are stalls selling Dresses, Home Decor, Dry Fruits, etc. There are some special stalls by the Telangana Police and Telangana Fire Department.Numaish is known for 100s of stalls but things time, there are only around 50 stalls. It looks like the stalls are mostly by businesses around Hyderabad while Numaish used to have stalls by businesses across the country. Visitors have been complaining that the prices are a little high probably due to the less competition.But then, there is nothing to complain about because it is Mini-Numaish. There are few playing options for the kids to keep them enjoyable and there are famous eateries like Pista House, Masqati, Gokul Chat, etc. Coming to the crowds, the exhibition, somehow, is not publicized much and so, there are not many crowds.

Mini Numaish In Nampally - A Mini Review

Imagine this – garbage dumped on roads, hanging electric wires, lack of proper sewerage system, bad roads – doesn’t that sound like a nightmare? Well, that’s the life of residents of Srinivas Nagar Colony in Old Alwal. The plight of the colony has been the same since it was established, and the colony residents complain that despite lodging several complaints, the GHMC has done little to address them.With intermittent rains, the situation in the colony has become deplorable, and the problems of the residents have only compounded with drain water inundating the colony. Also, the roads were laid when the colony was first established, and due to this, the roads are in a completely deteriorated condition. In fact, the vehicle owners find it extremely difficult to go about on the roads.For starters, with no sewerage system in place, the water gets into the open temple plots, which is a huge cause for concern of local residents. The muck-filled plots have become breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Given that dengue is prevalent in the city, the residents are dead scared.Narender Reddy, president of Srinivas Colony, says that the promises by civic authorities have been short-lived with no permanent solution in sight. Another big issue is that of dangling wires. The wires pose a serious threat to residents driving or passing by and can become the cause of serious accidents during rains. The residents rue that the state government should penalize the electricity department for such bad maintenance. Another issue that had turned irksome to the residents is the stalled drainage works taken up recently.The problems don’t end there. The garbage is collected only once a week here, and due to this, residents end up dumping the garbage on the roads or open plots. The authorities haven’t responded to this complaint too.

Srinivas Nagar Colony in Dire Need of Maintenance of Basic Amenities

Once barren and barely known, today, Gachibowli is a much sought-after residential area. The place has two big IT companies in its vicinity and is a hub of high street food and high-end fashion malls. Thanks to its central location in the city, the property prices are premium here, and they seem to be showing a positive upward curve.The place also has five-star hotels and hospitals, all of which can be approached from premium apartment complexes. Today, any residential property in Gachibowli comes up to Rs 1 crore, and if you are looking for a spacious apartment or villa, then you will have to shell out more. Today, the properties here are rated as premium properties.The situation is the same in areas like Gachibowli, Kondapur, Madhapur, and others, according to G Ram Reddy, national VP, CREDAI. The economic drivers will support the price quoted by the builders. However, till now, Miyapur, Chandanagar, Ameenpur, Miyapur, and BHEL quadrant do not have any economic drivers, keeping the real estate prices very moderate in these areas. So those, in reality, feel that those who cannot afford Gachibowli can now move into such areas. They point out that Manikonda has seen a three-fold increase in the past ten years.Then there is Chandanagar which is budget-friendly, and Kollur that is 25 minutes away from Gachibowli. A little further away is Velmala that is also seeing a good supply of budget-friendly spaces. So, now many builders are looking at Chandnagar, Miyapur, Ameenpur, and BHEL quadrant to develop properties. Incidentally, Bachupally happens to be another area where people are slowly constructing small segment villas in the range of Rs 75 lakh and Rs 1 crore.

Garbage can be seen accumulated on roadsides at many places, making them the breeding grounds for mosquitoes.In fact, the situation is so bad that garbage has been piling up in transfer stations in the city, including at Tank Bund, Imlibun, and Yousufguda. And given the fact that the city had heavy showers, stinking rubbish has been a cause of concern for residents in such areas, giving them sleepless nights.However, many residents complain that despite many complaints on the <a href="https://www.ghmc.gov.in/">MYGHMC</a> app, garbage has not been lifted, making it a breeding place for dogs and mosquitoes. It has to be known that dengue is prevalent in the city, and many fear the spread of other viral diseases.On their part, the GHMC officials maintain that they have been collecting the usual 6500 metric tonnes of garbage from twin cities and moving it to the Jawahar Nagar dump yard. In fact, residents have taken to social media to post pictures of garbage mounds from various localities.Areas in the south zone such as Shahalibanda, Phoolbagh, Aliabad, Patthar ki Dargah, Petla Burj, and other localities are among the worst hit due to the situation. No garbage vehicles have been seen in these areas for the past several days. Even those in business areas like Shahalibanda say that the situation is bad as people throw paper cups and plates on the road, which can help in the breeding of mosquitoes.As for GHMC, they maintain that the entire city is facing mosquito menace and add that they have been taking up fogging activities in affected areas.

<a href="https://zindatilismath.co.in/">Zinda Tilismath</a> is a name known to many, especially in Hyderabad. The brand has completed 100 years during the pandemic, and the management has celebrated the occasion at an upmarket hotel in Madhapur. And to make the celebrations memorable, the company has launched Zinda Tilismath balm. They now intend to make it har Ghar ki Dawa from being a har marz ki Dawa.Be it a headache, muscular pains, cold, cough, or nausea, it is considered a one-shot cure by many. If one goes back in time, one is left wondering if Hakeem Mohammed Moizuddin Farooqui discovered the wonder potion in a ramshackle building in Nimboli Adda in 1920 knew that it would be in demand a hundred years later also. However, it is a much sought-after over-the-counter medicine and the first choice of many.While the primary formula remains the same, Zinda Tilismath has seen many variations as it is available as tooth powder, liquid formulation, and cough lozenges. And henceforth, it will be available as a balm.Ironically, when Zinda Tilismath first hit the market, it happened when the Spanish flu broke out. And now, when it completed 100 years, the city was in the grip of Coronavirus. In fact, its sales shot up as many took it as an immunity booster.The founder’s only surviving son Masihuddin Farooqui was present at the celebrations, and Imad Farooqui and his cousin Sohail Farooqui shared that their grandfather started the business with just 3 lakh vials.&nbsp;Incidentally, right now, the production has shot up to 70 lakh vials, and the entire process is totally automated. However, the company has made sure that all manpower is put to use in some other place as per the founder’s wishes.ZT uses Nizam’s crown or dastar as its trademark, and its logo happens to be a colored man, which marks the strength of Siddis, the African Cavalry Guard of the Nizam. ZT balm will be available in packs of 1gm, which is priced at Rs 2, and 10 gm, which is priced at Rs 35.

The ride to the airport is slowly getting harder as many cabs immediately refuse though they earn a decent amount of money in a single trip and will find a customer at the airport. People who depend on cabs and ride-sharing apps are scratching their heads as this confusion with cancellations wastes their time and leaves them helpless.&nbsp;People have taken to social media and tagged the ride-sharing companies to highlight that their promised experience is getting worse by the day and leaving hundreds of people confused. So many people expressed how they are used to this issue by Uber that they start booking a cab half an hour to 45 minutes before they have to go anywhere and find a cab after 5-6 cancellations and dozens of refreshing to the app.&nbsp;After noticing a real number of complaints, queries, and anger by netizens on various social media platforms, Uber India responded to all the comments. They are trying their level best to fix this issue to provide the experience they promised. Uber India also explained how they have received complaints about the same from all big cities in India and are working to fix the solution for good.

Ride-Sharing Apps Troubling People And Leaving Them Helpless

Moreover, as this hospital is quite well known across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, doctors in other districts recommend patients visit the hospital with an attendee.&nbsp;The patients who wish to consult the doctor at the early hours of the next day start from their district late at night or early hours to reach the city. This has been happening because of the lack of accommodation for the attendees.&nbsp;In addition, people have raised issues of a confusing and long registration process that makes them miss their appointment, and they have to spend another day in the city and wait for the appointment the next day. The patient's family has also complained of a lack of attention given to the patient and minimal and mediocre facilities in the emergency ward.

&nbsp;The rising petrol and diesel rates have made everyone question their choices of vehicles and modes of transport. With increasing rates, people are now opting for electric vehicles or preferring public transport.&nbsp;However, public transport also runs on the same fuel. The&nbsp;<a href="https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=Awr9IlSk1ndhUCkAaLRXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNncTEEcG9zAzEEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1635272484/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.tsrtconline.in%2f/RK=2/RS=GgBJT.rnkNpgXx2t7mcban1rGZg-">TSRTC</a> in Hyderabad is facing the heat of skyrocketing fuel rates and is in talks about adopting electric buses to provide services to lakhs of people. The Managing Director of TSRTC, VC Sajjanagar, has confirmed that one bus from Musheerabad depot will be converted into an EV, and if that is working out slowly, TSRTC will begin with 5-6 buses from each depot.&nbsp;The latter also took time to explain how the current rate of diesel is shockingly increasing, and currently, 20 rupees of diesel is required for 1 km but replacing with EV will only need an expense of Rs. 6 per km.&nbsp;VC Sajjanagar also explained that if TSRTC buys a new EV bus, they will have to spend one crore rupees, but the conversion of a diesel bus will cost them just 60 Lakhs. However, since this is a new project and is the future of transportation, major depots might get one or two EVs each, and the rest of them converted to EV once the EV plan is entirely successful.
