Telangana appoints Dhoni as brand ambassador.
Hyderabad. It seems Sania Mirza has been replaced. She has been replaced as the brand ambassador of Telangana by MS Dhoni, whose appointment was announced by the state government.
The Indian cricket captain was found worthy of the role after his love for Hyderabadi Biryani was discovered by the entire India as he walked out of a 5-star hotel with his team after being denied home-cooked biryani sent by fellow cricketer Ambati Rayudu.

“No one else has shown such strong love and intensity for biryani as Dhoni has. He didn’t care about what people would think of his actions, or if his action could strain commercial relations of BCCI with its travel partners. In fact, BCCI too supported him and proved to the world that Hyderabadi Biryani was priceless,” Telangana Chief Minister KCR explained.

The only person known for his love of biryani, till now was Kasab. Obviously we couldn’t have chosen him!” a state government representative said, “Thank god that Dhoni took this step and the nation and biryani got a deserving candidate.” various rice and cooking oil companies have approached Dhoni with endorsement proposals after his public display of affection for biryani.

HYDERABAD: Residents of the city be aware for a shock. Few restaurants are using animal fat, which is supposed to be used for making soaps and other industrial products, for cooking putting the health of the people at risk. Use of industrial animal fat in  preparation of food products is prohibited since Animal fat contains high levels of chemical pollutants which cannot meet the required hygienic standards for cooking oil.

With protests from people, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation  got into the act and sealed some factories which are engaged in extracting oil from animal fat. “We conducted raids for 3 days continuously and sealed a fat-melting unit in Alinagar, old city. Industrial animal fat is mainly used in making soap. “Reaching the unit, we found 80 tins of oil, apart from animal fat of dead animals. We also found several bills belonging to other states,” the officials added.

Beware animal oil used in some restaurants
Another senior official explained that GHMC would take serious note of any complaint made regarding use of animal oil in food and would take immediate action. “People can differentiate between cooking oil and oil made from animal fat from their colour and smell.

Hyderabad traffic cops to sport body cameras

No comments :
Hyderabad City traffic cops could soon change their way to Singapore style of wearing body cameras during their duty time. Impressed with modern policing methods adopted in Singapore during his visit to singapore, chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao made several suggestions for the police force, and body cameras for cops was one gadget that caught the fancy of director general of police (DGP) Anurag Sharma.Following the CM's suggestions, Hyderabad police studied policing practices in Singapore and decided to implement the body wear camera practice immediately , which essentially means cops sitting in a central control room would monitor the conversation between a traffic cop and the pupil.



Ten days ago, the city police began a project with Chandrasekhar Reddy a sub inspector of Saifabad traffic police station, who was given a camera to check its efficiency while on traffic duties. "Since I began using the camera, most traffic violators stopped dropping names of influential persons. Almost all the offenders immediately paid the fine whenever I explained about the camera and that the entire conversation was being recorded," Reddy told."Even during Ganesh immersion procession near Ambedkar statue, I was able to regulate traffic with just three constables as all truck drivers left the area after immersion and obeyed the orders when told that the vehicle registration number has been recorded in the camera,"with the success stories, the police department is now going to implement the Rs one crore project and give body cameras to all staff in the field. "By wearing a camera, the on-duty performance of a police officer can also be monitored and the footage also works as evidence for any other circumstances in future.

The high resolution audio-visuals recorded in the camera are stored in a memory card and can be seen live from the police control room through 4G technology.Each body camera, costing Rs 1.5 lakh, would be effective even during night, Sharma said. The city police are initially planning to purchase about 100 cameras.the usage of body cameras will also bring transparency and accountability among police and the citizens."

After the body wear camera project, they are also planning to install cameras in all the patrolling vehicles and all of them will be connected to the main CCTV in the control room," Mahender Reddy added.
