On CCTV: Hindu Man Killed For Marrying Muslim

Real Estate in Hyderabad is slowly picking up and is trying to get back to the Pre-COVID levels. RBI's decision to hike the repo rate means home loans and other loans are going to get costlier. RBI has hiked the repo rate by 0.40% — the first such hike in nearly four years. The repo rate is the rate at which RBI lends to commercial banks, which means the move will make borrowing expensive for banks.An increase in repo rate implies that banks will also increase their lending rates making the EMIs costlier. Cheaper Home Loans have prompted home buyers to enthusiastically make purchases that are no longer going to be the case in the future. For Instance, SBI now offers home loans at around 6.85 percent. It will now go up to 7.25%.For a loan amount of Rs 30 lakh and tenure of 20 years, the monthly EMI now is about Rs 22,990 per month. The total interest payable for 20 years will be about Rs 25,17,510 and the total payments made over the loan term will be Rs 55,17,510.At the new interest rate of 7.25 percent, the EMI will rise to Rs 23,711 per month, an increase of Rs 721 over the old EMI of Rs 22,990. The total interest outgo will be about Rs 26,90,707, higher by Rs 1,73,197 over the old rate. The total payment to be made will be Rs 56,90,707. Real estate is skeptical about this hike damaging the prospects in near future.

He sent the consignment in nearly packed cartons to Malleshwar Rao Nemani, an IT professional, who is known for his ‘don’t waste food’ campaign.Malleshwar Rao says he neither knows the donor nor was contacted by him. The farmer asked him to distribute the mangoes to the poor and Malleshwar Rao decided to do that at the government area hospital at Kondapur.&nbsp;"There are many pregnant women n the hospital. So, I thought it is good to give them the mangoes," Malleshwar Rao said. The Banganapalle variety of mangoes are not leftovers nor are they damaged.

The fruits were distributed to 500 people in the hospital on Wednesday, much to the delight of the patients and their attendants.

Mango Surprise For Government Hospital Patients

Ahead of the monsoon season, GHMC is busy re-laying roads. But then, some agencies like the HMWS&amp;SB and private agencies are notoriously famous for digging up the freshly-laid roads for underground pipeline repairs and other reasons. The corporation had finally decided enough is enough and is going legal on such agencies.The corporation is in consultation with the government about this. The civic body, which has embarked on the Comprehensive Road Maintenance Project (CRMP), is re-topping 709.49 kilometers of roads in Hyderabad. However, the efforts are squandered by rampant road cuttings in bylanes of Baghlingampally, Tarnaka, Mettuguda, Himayatnagar, Secunderabad, Quthbullapur, King Koti, and Chikkadpally among others.The HMWS&amp;SB has also dug the main roads on Borabanda, Erragadda, Uppal, Nagole, and others and did not restore them. The agencies take permissions for small stretches and go for road-cuttings as per their whims and fancies. For an instance, permissions have been obtained this season only for 53.63 km of road cutting. But only HMWS&amp;SB officials however have dug up 150 km length of newly-laid roads in various parts of the city and have not re-topped them.

GHMC To Legal Over Agencies Destroying City Roads

Not so long ago, there was a time when traveling from one place to another in twin cities was a huge issue due to traffic snarls at various signal points. However, the state government and bureaucracy implementing the strategic road development plan (SRDP) have changed the way people travel in the capital city.The government initiatives to boost road infrastructure and address long-pending traffic problems are now showing results. Among the many initiatives that changed the face of Hyderabad, SRDP can be considered an important one.The state government formulated SRDP a few years back for improving basic amenities in Hyderabad, safe driving and improving traffic monitoring facilities, minimizing travel time, increasing journey speed, and reducing air pollution levels. The idea is to reduce traffic woes and create the necessary infrastructure for future traffic needs.Also, the main roads have been restored under the comprehensive road maintenance program (CRMP), and new link roads have been developed. Post-SRDP by Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), it can be seen that the city roads have undergone a lot of change. Apart from the cable-stayed bridge at Madhapur, the authorities have constructed 22 flyovers, underpasses, RoBs, and RuBs in different parts of the city.For the unversed, SRDP was intended to cover major corridors and activity centers such as Jubilee Hills, HITEC City, Kukatpally, Panjagutta, Abids, Bachupally, Charminar, LB Nagar, Chandrayanagutta, Secunderabad, Uppal, ECIL, Alwal, Kompally, and Jeedimetla.
