Former minister Jogu Ramanna was detained in Adilabad after calling for a ritual to purify the Chanaka-Korata irrigation project, inaugurated by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. Ramanna criticised the police for detaining him and accused the CM of failing to irrigate even a single acre while taking credit for projects initiated under the BRS regime.
The Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple at Yadagirigutta will remain closed from 12 noon on Sunday due to the lunar eclipse. Authorities said darshan will resume at 3:30 am Monday after purification rituals, followed by regular poojas.
