TRS and CM speak in different voices
One the one hand, the TRS leaders hoped that the Centre would come out with a decision soon and that the formation of a separate state will come into effect soon.
But on the other, Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy today said, "Finding a solution to the Telangana issue is not easy." This ambivalence is difficult to comprehend.
While talking to reporters in Hyderabad, the CM said that it's not easy to come to a conclusion on the sensitive issue of T- state. He said the state government has to take a decision on it first and then the centre comes into the picture.
Asked if the high command had called him to Delhi this Sunday, he said that he had not been summoned. He also said that he will give his opinion on the issue whenever the centre asks him to do so.
Referring to reports from New Delhi that the Centre would take a call on Telangana very soon, the Chief Minister quipped, Otherwise why would (Telangana Rashtra Samiti chief) the KCR camp be in New Delhi for these many days! Responding to a query, he said that there was nothing wrong in people from different regions expressing divergent views on the bifurcation demand. On the move of the Congress leaders from Andhra and Rayalaseema regions to meet in Hyderabad, he said that they have a right to express their opinion. Meanwhile, Kiran has again appealed to the Telangana Joint Action Committee to put off its proposed march here on September 30.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
