*A Meeting of Legacy, Leadership, and Shared Vision*

In a notable reaffirmation of inter-state harmony, Telangana Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao undertook a personal visit to Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, to call on Hon’ble Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu—reviving a trusted association shaped during the days of the undivided Andhra Pradesh and strengthening the spirit of cooperative federalism between the sister states.
The deliberations addressed critical regional priorities: the proposed administrative integration of five geographically enclosed gram panchayats impacting tribal livelihoods; permanent restoration of the Pedda Vagu irrigation system irrigating nearly 16,000 acres, with an 85:15 benefit distribution between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana; urgent safeguarding of the Bhadrachalam flood-protection embankment; facilitation of TTD-associated spiritual infrastructure in Khammam; allocation of 5 acres in Tirumala for Telangana pilgrims’ amenities; advancement of the Sattupalli–Kovvur and Penuballi–Amaravati railway connectivity proposals; and broader measures essential for inclusive growth and regional accessibility.
The engagement stood as a dignified reminder that leadership rooted in experience, mutual regard, and public purpose can rise above boundaries—translating shared history into meaningful cooperation, sustainable development, and enduring welfare for the Telugu people.

At a review meeting held at the Secretariat with Agriculture Department officials, Agriculture Minister #TNR Garu directed strict action to prevent the entry and sale of unapproved HT (Herbicide Tolerant / BG-III) cotton seeds in the state. He ordered the constitution of Task Force teams and intensified surveillance in border areas to stop illegal movement of HT and spurious cotton seeds from Maharashtra and Gujarat. The Minister noted that HT cotton, though developed by Monsanto, was denied approval by the Central Government due to failure in field trials and environmental concerns. He also instructed officials to frame clear guidelines on co-marketing of cotton seeds and to conduct large-scale farmer awareness programmes, cautioning farmers against HT seeds due to increased herbicide use, biodiversity loss and contamination of other cotton hybrids. Agriculture Director Dr Gopi, departmental officials and seed company representatives were present.
