These include the new rail line connecting Manoharabad and Siddipet, as well as the electrification projects for the Dharmabad-Manoharabad and Mahabubnagar-Kurnool rail lines.The Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for 20 critical care blocks under the Pradhan Mantri - Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission.

The demonstration aims to draw attention to the delayed disbursement of funds to MGNREGA job cardholders, some of whom have been awaiting payment for over two years.TMC leaders and supporters are preparing for the protest at Jantar Mantar, armed with letters addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the non-payment of dues.

Naidu's plea challenges the Andhra Pradesh High Court's order, which dismissed his petition seeking the quashing of an FIR filed against him in connection with an alleged scam related to the Skill Development Corporation.A bench comprising justices Aniruddha Bose and Bela M Trivedi will preside over the hearing on Tuesday. In a previous ruling, the Supreme Court had declined to restrain the trial court from proceeding with a plea seeking police custody of Naidu. It was announced that a new bench would hear Naidu's petition for the quashing of the FIR linked to the alleged Rs 371 crore scam in the state.The case revolves around allegations that Naidu, during his tenure as Chief Minister in 2015, misappropriated funds from the Skill Development Corporation, resulting in a purported loss of Rs 371 crore to the state exchequer. The trial court has extended Naidu's judicial remand until October 5, as the legal proceedings continue.Naidu's plea and the subsequent court proceedings have drawn significant attention, underscoring the importance of accountability and transparency in governance.
