If one had watched the film Mattu Vadalara, then one wouldn’t be surprised that there are people in Hyderabad who make and supply drugs from their homes. Well, the city police are on constant vigil to get hold of the kingpins in the drug trade and most active drug peddlers.So, homemade drugs are the latest challenge for city police as many drug peddlers are now giving the cops a tough time by making drugs in their homes or addas. On March 31, the H-NEW (Hyderabad Narcotics Enforcement Wing) personnel arrested one K Sreeram, 25, for manufacturing a high-quality batch of DMT (Di-Methyl Tryptomine) at his residence in Kondapur. And the most intriguing part is that Sreeram procured the required ingredients from Amazon and local pharmacies to manufacture the drug.Ironically, Sreeram has no chemistry background. Yet, he could make a pure batch of changa through the trial and error method. Though Sreeram had been doing drugs since his college days, he later learnt how to make them through the internet and social media. He apparently got the required ingredients from Amazon, Instamart, and chemical shops, saying he was a medico.He then extracted a batch of DMT/ changa, which he was selling for Rs 8000 per batch, says Chakravarthy Gummi, deputy commissioner of police (DCP), H-NEW. When the Jubilee Hills police arrested Sreeram’s client S Deepak Kumar Jadhav, 29, an employee of Regalix, they found drug-making equipment like glass jars, pipits, chemicals, and snorting pipes, etc.The H-NEW police say they are constantly on the vigil not for just drug sellers and makers but also for people procuring material for making drugs. The police are now keeping a tab on people buying correction fluids, paint thinners, and other such materials.

Homemade Drugs, The New Challenge for Police

Not all holiday spots are bang on when it comes to popularity. However, some places are quaint, and this old-world charm makes them irresistible if you are a free-spirited traveler.Well, one such place happens to be just kilometers away from LB Nagar. Would you think there is a beautiful waterfall just 20km away from the city? Mostly the answer would be a no. But, of course, you will know the place if you are a local or a student at the nearby college.The small but beautiful waterfall here is called Antharaganga falls, making for a quick weekend trekking option. The best part is that one does not have to prepare for a long time to take this little trek up a small hill to reach the waterfall. Instead, you can simply drive up to the bottom of the hill and take the trekking trip.One has to head towards Vijayawada from LB Nagar on NH65, about 5km after crossing ORR Road. Then one gets to Abdullahpurmet, and about 1km after that, one comes across a petrol bunk. One can find a college arch right next to the bunk. Enter the arch and go straight ahead for another 2km to reach the bottom of the hill. However, if you are coming from the opposite direction, take the ORR and exit 11.The trek is simple as the path is quite obvious, and the uphill trek is not too tedious. However, one has to take along good shoes that have a good grip as the rocks can get slippery in some places. After about 30 minutes, one can reach the small waterfall. However, one can really enjoy the experience after rains as the water gushes from the falls.Also, expect to see some monkeys, peacocks, and reptiles on the way. And make sure that you don’t litter while there.

Gone are the days when the family favored good-old traditional marriages arranged through a family pundit or a marriage broker. Nowadays, gender equations have changed, women empowerment is everywhere to be seen, and both boys and girls are well-educated and can make informed choices.So, when the dating app TrulyMadly surveyed pan-Indian mothers, it was a pleasant surprise that 84 percent of mothers in Hyderabad were for love marriages vis-a-vis mothers in other parts of India. Just about 50 percent of mothers elsewhere were for love marriages.Also, about 37 percent of mothers from Hyderabad were receptive to their children finding their life partners through dating apps. The whole idea behind the survey was to gauge the stigmas attached to marriages in India.It was also found that about 45 percent of mothers worried more about the marriage of their children than their fathers. About 70 percent of female and 80 percent of male respondents from tier-1 and tier-2 cities said their mother preferred love marriages. Incidentally, mothers from non-metros like Jaipur, Indore, and Lucknow, among others, were supportive of their daughters’ choices. While 55 percent of mothers pressurized their sons, 53 percent of mothers pressurized their daughters for marriage.Snehil Khanor, CEO and co-founder of TrulyMadly, shares that mothers who were assumed to be shackled in age-old traditions have finally managed to shake them off.

The Department of Health hopes to make Entonox technology available in government hospitals to reduce cesarian deliveries and increase normal deliveries. It has been decided to undertake this technology to reduce pains during delivery as a pilot project at King Koti Hospital in Hyderabad. The health department also brought in the necessary equipment and gas cylinders.&nbsp;Arrangements are being made to bring these into use within a day or two. If successful here, it will be made available in all government hospitals across the state, health officials say. Gynecologists say the technology is currently only available in a few major hospitals across the country. Entonox is a gas made up of a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. That is why it is called Entonox Technology. The gas contains equal amounts of oxygen and nitrous oxide.&nbsp;&nbsp;Pregnant women are told to inhale this gas through a mask or mouthpiece during Labour pains. It starts working within 15 to 20 seconds of being inhaled. Relieves pain for one to two to five minutes. If the pregnant woman inhales the gas again when the pain comes again, another 5 minutes of relief will follow. It is enough to inhale and exhale once in a while when there is a contraction. That is why the pregnant woman is given the option of deciding when and how much gas to inhale. Doctors say that this gas works as a pain killer and anesthetic. And there are no side effects for mother and baby. This will be a very effective way to reduce cesarian deliveries.

Hyderabad Traffic Police have come to an understanding with Google to develop an app to provide the public with information such as traffic situations, diversions, or restrictions from time to time. Until now, traffic police have been sending information to Google at least a day in advance about any traffic diversions or interruptions.This caused a delay in live updates. Due to that, huge traffic jams become imminent due to delayed information about road diversions. However, the app, which is currently being developed in collaboration with the Traffic Police, will be installed in the Traffic Police tabs so that officers on duty there can log in to the app and give updates on issues such as closed roads and road diversions, etc.Google will instantly block that particular route on the map and show you alternate routes, as well as make Google Live available in a variety of colors. If there is any road problem with this technology right now, it will be highlighted on Google Maps immediately. This allows travelers to take another route, as shown by Google, rather than that route. This facility saves time for all travelers. In the case of the traffic police, the Hyderabad traffic police are of the view that traffic management will be made easier.
