The debate over remerging Husnabad Assembly constituency with Karimnagar district has resurfaced after Revenue Minister Pongulati Srinivas Reddy announced that the State government would reorganise districts scientifically. Husnabad, originally part of Karimnagar, was merged with Siddipet during the 2016 district reorganisation.
Residents of Elkathurthi and nearby villages in Hanamkonda district were surprised on Saturday when hundreds of chickens were mysteriously released in agricultural fields along the Elkathurthi–Siddipet highway. Villagers rushed to catch the birds, with some posing for photos and others quietly bagging their catch.
