Visitors can also enjoy workshops on natural farming, composting, and traditional crafts, along with organic food stalls serving millet snacks and herbal drinks. The fair’s earthy charm and community spirit make it a refreshing escape from city life.

For the past three years, residents and landowners in our region have been united in their struggle for fair development and sustainable growth. Now, a new and serious threat has emerged — the proposed shifting of the Thumkunta Municipality waste dump yard from Jawaharnagar to Bommarasipet/Ponnal (near the crusher area adjacent to our lands).
If this proposal is approved, it will drastically reduce the value of our lands, wiping out all the positive impact expected from upcoming infrastructure projects such as:
Metro Extension up to ORR
Elevated Corridor Project
Ongoing developments along the Outer Ring Road
These major projects were supposed to boost the region’s growth potential, but the dump yard plan could nullify all progress and cause serious environmental and health concerns for nearby villages.
To oppose this decision, our friends and farmers from Bommarasipet and Ponnal villages are organizing a protest today at 10:30 AM at the Collector’s Office. Their goal is to prevent approval of this harmful proposal.
We urge all affected landowners and residents to stand together and join the protest as equal stakeholders. This is our chance to show unity and protect the future of our area before it’s too late.
Let us gather in strength at the Collector’s Office at 10:30 AM and voice our objection to the proposed dump yard relocation.
A heated argument erupted between Congress candidate Naveen Yadav and BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) during the Jubilee Hills by-election campaign in Telangana. KTR accused the Congress government of misusing its power through demolition drives under the “HYDRAA” initiative, claiming the ruling party was targeting the poor and using fear tactics to influence voters. In response, the BRS filed a complaint against Naveen Yadav, alleging intimidation and demanding his disqualification. The Congress, on the other hand, countered by accusing the BRS of spreading fake narratives and circulating misleading videos about Naveen Yadav to tarnish his image. The exchange highlighted growing tensions between both parties as the by-election intensified.
Hyderabad: The high-stakes Jubilee Hills bypoll has turned into a contest not just for votes but for narrative dominance, as rival surveys paint sharply contrasting pictures of the electoral mood.
The political battlefield is divided between two surveys — the KK Survey, which indicates that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is regaining lost ground, and the Lok Poll Survey, which gives the Congress a comfortable lead.
This duel of data has added a new dimension to the campaign, fueling morale within both camps while leaving voters guessing which way the wind is actually blowing.
With polling day fast approaching, the bypoll has evolved into a prestige contest for all major parties. Fiery speeches, social media offensives, and verbal duels among leaders have turned the Jubilee Hills election into a test of strength, strategy, and perception.
According to the latest KK Surveys and Strategies report, the BRS candidate is locked in a tight race but enjoys a slight edge, a finding that has visibly energized the party’s cadre. The pink party has seized on the survey results, flooding social media with posts celebrating the perceived momentum shift.
In contrast, the Lok Poll Survey offers a rosier picture for the ruling Congress, projecting a clear lead for the party’s candidate. Party insiders say the survey attributes the advantage to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s popularity and the government’s recent welfare schemes in the constituency.
As the campaign enters its final stretch, both parties are doubling down on door-to-door outreach and targeted messaging, hoping to convert perception into votes. For now, Jubilee Hills remains a battleground not just of ballots — but of belief.
Hyderabad: Voters in the Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency heading to the polls on November 11 will be able to safely deposit their mobile phones before entering polling stations. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Election Wing is setting up secure mobile phone deposit centres outside all polling stations, in line with Election Commission of India (ECI) guidelines.
The facility aims to assist voters, particularly senior citizens and women, ensuring convenience and security on polling day.
A senior GHMC official deputed for the bypoll said that voters must switch off their mobile phones before entering the polling station and hand them over to volunteers stationed at the mobile phone deposit counters.
Voters will receive a token in exchange for their phone, which they can use to reclaim it after casting their vote and exiting the polling station.
The GHMC has assured that adequate staff and security measures will be in place to manage the process smoothly and prevent any inconvenience to the public.
The initiative is part of the civic body’s broader efforts to ensure a transparent, orderly, and voter-friendly polling experience in Jubilee Hills during the by-election.
Navi Mumbai, November 2025 — It was a night that will forever be etched in golden letters in Indian sporting history.

South Africa Fight, but India Roar Louder
Chasing a challenging target of 299, South Africa began steadily, anchored by their captain Laura Wolvaardt, who played a sublime knock of 101 — a captain’s innings filled with poise, precision, and grace.

Hyderabad, Oct 28: In a major boost to the ruling Congress party ahead of the upcoming Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election, members of the Kamma community have announced their full support to the party.
Leaders from the community, which holds a strong social and economic presence in areas like Ameerpet, Kukatpally, and Serilingampally, met Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Tuesday and conveyed their support, while also placing a few demands before the government.
During the meeting, the community leaders urged the CM to install a statue of legendary actor and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. T. Rama Rao at Maitri Vanam in Ameerpet. They also appealed to the government to provide due representation to the community in nominated posts.
According to a press release from the Chief Minister’s Office, the Kamma community assured that the Congress candidate Naveen Yadav would win the Jubilee Hills by-election with a huge majority.
The by-election, necessitated by the demise of former BRS MLA Maganti Gopinath, is expected to be a high-stakes contest for the ruling Congress, which failed to win any seat in the Greater Hyderabad area in the 2023 Assembly elections.
While the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has fielded Maganti Gopinath’s wife as its candidate, the BJP has once again given its ticket to Lankala Deepak Reddy, who had contested unsuccessfully in 2023. Political analysts expect a triangular fight between the Congress, BRS, and BJP this time.
In the 2023 Assembly polls, Gopinath secured 80,549 votes, followed by Congress’ Mohd. Azharuddin with 64,212 votes, and BJP’s Deepak Reddy with over 25,000 votes. AIMIM’s candidate Rasheed Farazuddin finished fourth with 7,848 votes.
The bypoll outcome is seen as a litmus test for the Congress government, as it aims to strengthen its urban base in Hyderabad ahead of future elections.
