Tough times make people wither under pressure or blossom with willpower. Sachin Kumar Lakkampally, a software engineer from Kompally, did the second. His casual visit to an ENT doctor revealed that he had grade two cancer.A battery of tests later, he was told by the doctor that he had grade two cancer. At that moment, Sachin Kumar was disheartened. But he soon regained his composure and did what was needed instead of moping.Due to his brain tumor, he had two surgeries and was under radiation therapy for over 45 days. Before that, he could barely walk and experienced a complete loss of appetite. He recollects he felt like a semi-paralyzed person. But during this time, his father, Sanjeev Rao, was of great support. Once he was operated on, his father helped him to walk again and stood by him like a rock.Once Sachin recovered, he realized the importance of health and fitness. So he took to walking, meditation, and a balanced diet. All this helped him complete the 10K run, though he did the virtual 10k run before this.Sachin now works from home or work from anywhere and is a crusader for a good and healthy lifestyle. He is also working on achieving higher endurance and scaling up wellness activities. From one who was not into sports and was overweight to being able to run a 10k marathon after beating cancer at the age of 43 is a huge achievement for Sachin.

A man in a Benz car stopped seeing the rush. He immediately rushed the victim to a nearby private hospital. The seriously injured youth escaped death due to timely treatment.&nbsp;Many praised the Benz car owner for responding in a timely manner. People usually have an impression that those in fancy cars are not mindful of the people around them. But this man proved wrong. The period lasting one hour following a traumatic injury is called the Golden Hour, during which there is the highest likelihood of preventing death by providing prompt medical care. This biker was taken to the hospital in the Golden hour and got saved.

Benz Car Owner Takes Accident Victim To Hospital

Recently, there was an incident when a car went up in flames right on the road. The fire tender arrived on time though the car was totally up in flames. While it’s a rather scary incident, a passerby from the old city frowns that the entire old city barely has three fire stations.The situation is so, particularly in the south zone and its extension area up to Pahadishareef. As of now, there are three fire stations in Moghulpura, Chandulal Baradari, and Malakpet to attend emergency calls in the old city. Incidentally, all the three were set up about 20 years back.The fire station at Chandulal Baradari was set up as there was an industrial area, though the companies later moved to Katedan and Gagan Pahad. Another fire station was sanctioned for Yakutpura. However, due to the unavailability of land, the station was not set up. Though the fire officials requested the government for land, the station did not materialize.However, finally, the fire station was instead set up at the Osmania General Hospital on ‘express instructions’ to attend fire calls from the hospital and surrounding areas. Yakutpura happens to be a densely populated area with about 70 small colonies and slums. The slums have small cottage industries, and small fire accidents are common. But the fire tender comes from Moghalpura, which is between three to four kilometers.Lots of chaotic traffic is a huge problem in this part of the world, and many locals say it would be best if a fire station is opened at Chandrayanagutta. This would help the tender to reach in five minutes, they say. Similarly, locals feel if the government sets up a fire station on Bandlaguda road, then people from Katedan Industrial Area, Falaknuma, Chandrayanagutta, Errakunta, Hafeezbabnagar can be attended to at the earliest.

Only Three Fire Stations For All of Old City

Hyderabad turned Pink for the TRS Plenary on Wednesday. Party banners, flexes, and cutouts are everywhere you look in the city. Flexis were set up across traffic signals at some points for the Plenary. Authorities are only fining complaints coming to the Central Enforcement Twitter account. With this, the people are vexed at the attitude of the authorities.Only nominal fines were levied for complaints received. It is learned that fines of around Rs 3 lakh have been imposed. Ministers, MLAs, and corporators across the city put flexes heavily during the TRS Plenary last October. At the same time, EVDM officials set aside the complaints received online citing technical issues.&nbsp; BJP corporators have raised concerns on a large scale over this. Three days after the plenary, fines were raised for some of the complaints received online.&nbsp;Now it looks the same again. GHMC Enforcement Director Vishwajit, who went on leave during the last Plenary Time, is now on leave again. The EVDM wing that recently made rides on Flexi printing centers has now gone silent. BJP leaders allege that the checks were carried out targeting the printing presses where BJP flexes were printed. Meanwhile, Praja Shanthi Party President, KA Paul approached the high court against this.

The city has experienced severe flooding in various low-lying areas in the past few years, and this has become a talking point around the country and a scare point for those living in such settlements. So, for the upcoming monsoon season, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has already started taking various measures so that the low-lying areas are not inundated during the rains.While some of the measures are already in place, the remaining tasks will be taken up when the monsoon approaches. The officials share that the works include ensuring that the stormwater drain network is without any blockages in and around the GHMC area under the Strategic Nala Development Programme (SNDP). They have already appointed officials for every lake to monitor during the rainy season. The officials have also been given tasks like looking after the demolition of dilapidated buildings, pressing into service monsoon action teams, and desilting of nalas or drains.The municipal officials are focusing on rehabilitating poor families and removing encroachments so that the drains can be widened to allow the flow of water during the monsoons. The GHMC intends to complete the SNDP works before the rains hit the city.Other major works will include having an exclusive monsoon team for each GHMC circle, and officials will be appointed to maintain the inflows and outflows of lakes and other water bodies. GHMC also intends to deploy mobile monsoon teams and static labor teams. While the labor teams will be available at strategic locations to drain out rainwater immediately, the mobile monsoon teams will be mobile in localities and will attend to rain-related complaints.The teams will work by pumping out water, clearing catch pits, clogged drains, uprooted trees, tangled wires, etc. Water pumps, crowbars, and tree cutters are being provided to the teams, along with safety gear. Another important decision taken by the Town Planning wing of the civic body was to instruct deputy city planners and assistant city planners to take necessary action against dilapidated buildings and submit a report.

E-commerce and consumer durables companies have pushed up the warehousing demand in H2 2021 in Hyderabad. Incidentally, the warehousing sector had 66 percent demand from e-commerce, followed by consumer durables, which had 17 percent demand.Hyderabad is being looked upon as a warehousing hub as the government has been developing infrastructure in the western and northern corridors of the city. Also, the city is strategically positioned in the south-central zone, which is one of the reasons behind the increased demand.According to Cushman and Wakefield, leasing activity recorded a growth of around 15 percent, with 1.75 million sq ft of space getting leased in H2 2021. If one looks at the annual figures, leasing activity witnessed significant growth, with 3.3 million sq ft of space being leased. This, in short, means a growth of 60 percent from 2020.The hubs of warehousing happen to be places like Patancheru, Edulanagulapally, Gundlapochampally, Medchal, and Kallakal in the western and north-western corridors are expected to witness maximum traction in the coming days.Also, on its part, the state government has come up with a new policy for the logistics sector in the second half of 2021 to attract an investment of Rs 10,000 crore by 2026. Subsequently, the industrial and warehousing rentals across all corridors of the city have witnessed a slight increase from 3 to 5 percent in H2 2021.On the other hand, micro-markets of Kandlakaya and Medchal in the northern zone saw robust leasing activity during 2021, resulting in a shortage of quality warehousing space. Given this scenario, the industry experts opine, the rentals will go further up in the next 6 to 12 months.
