Hyderabad: People in two tiny villages in Siddipet district woke up to a new beginning on Friday as they stepped into newly constructed two-bed room houses built by Telangana government under its flagship scheme. Nearly 500 families in Erravalli and Narsannapet villages moved from their huts and ‘kutcha’ houses into permanent and independent dwellings equipped with all facilities.

Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who adopted these two villages in his Gajwel constituency and vowed to turn them into model villages for the entire country, inaugurated the new houses and other amenities on Friday morning. Mass house warming ceremony was held at 7.53 a.m. amid chanting of Vedic hymns by as many as 600 ‘purohits’ hired by the state government for the occasion where Chief Minister Rao participated in various rituals.

A total of 380 houses in Erravalli and 200 in Narsannapet have been constructed at a cost of Rs 5.5 lakh each. While 489 houses were completed, the remaining were expected to be ready next month. The chief minister also inaugurated community hall and other facilities. He announced that the two villages will be developed as cashless villages.

With newly laid roads, sewer lines, uniform rows of newly built houses equipped with electricity and water supply, overhead tanks, toilets and bath rooms, both the villages have totally transformed. The common amenities include community halls, play ground and park.

Under Mission Bhagiratha, another flagship scheme, all houses will be provided round-the-clock water and WiFi facility. KCR, as Rao is popularly known, announced that these villages will be completely self-reliant. The government is extending help to families to grow agriculture and horticulture crops. Fruit bearing saplings were planted in the premises of the new houses.

The families were also being provided one milch buffalo and 20 country chicken each to help them earn a livelihood or increase their income. The government plans to build 2.6 lakh double bed-room houses for poor in rural and urban areas across the state.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
