The Andhra Pradesh government is exploring a new tourism initiative that could transform the state’s coastal experience by introducing Goa-style beach shacks and seaside liquor outlets. The move is part of the government’s broader strategy to strengthen the tourism sector and attract larger numbers of domestic and international visitors.

According to reports, the proposed model would allow private operators to establish beachside outlets where tourists can purchase and enjoy ready-to-consume beverages while relaxing by the sea. Similar concepts have long been a major attraction in Goa, drawing visitors seeking a vibrant beachside lifestyle.

In addition to beach shacks, the government is also said to be examining the possibility of introducing affordable liquor options, another feature often associated with Goa’s tourism ecosystem. Officials believe such measures could help create a more attractive and competitive tourism environment along Andhra Pradesh’s coastline.

The initiative is expected to begin as a pilot project, with two key locations currently under consideration—Chirala Beach and Visakhapatnam Beach. The government plans to assess public response and tourism impact before considering expansion to other coastal destinations.

Industry observers note that Andhra Pradesh possesses a significant advantage in the form of its extensive coastline, which stretches for nearly 1,000 kilometers. If executed effectively, the beach shack model could unlock new opportunities for tourism-driven economic growth, hospitality investments, and employment generation.

With Goa’s tourism market becoming increasingly mature and familiar to many travelers, Andhra Pradesh sees an opportunity to position itself as a fresh coastal destination offering a similar beach experience. If the pilot project delivers positive results, the state could emerge as one of India’s most attractive seaside tourism hubs in the coming years.

One of the most exciting multi-starrers in recent times is officially gearing up to roll. Veteran star Venkatesh and Nandamuri Kalyan Ram are all set to join forces for the first time in a film directed by blockbuster filmmaker Anil Ravipudi.

According to the latest reports, the makers have finalized June 18 as the date for the film’s grand launch ceremony. Following the formal inauguration, regular shooting is expected to begin within the same week, setting the stage for a major production schedule.

The film is being planned as a prestigious Sankranthi 2027 release. In an interesting development, Anil Ravipudi has reportedly registered the working title “January 13 Vidudala,” a title that directly reflects the film’s targeted festive release date and adds curiosity around the project.

This collaboration holds special significance for everyone involved. Anil Ravipudi made his directorial debut with “Patas,” a film headlined and produced by Kalyan Ram, making this reunion a memorable one. At the same time, Ravipudi and Venkatesh have shared a highly successful partnership, delivering multiple commercial entertainers together and enjoying a strong rapport both on and off screen.

Industry circles believe the film has all the ingredients to emerge as one of the biggest attractions of the Sankranthi 2027 season.

More details regarding the cast, technical crew, and storyline are expected to be announced soon as the project officially goes on floors.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on the verge of achieving a historic milestone in Indian politics. In just a few days, he is expected to surpass a record that has stood since the early years of independent India, becoming the longest-serving Prime Minister in the country’s history.

According to available calculations, June 10 is expected to mark a significant moment in Modi’s political journey. On that day, he will complete 4,399 days in office as Prime Minister, moving ahead of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who served for 4,398 days in consecutive tenure.

Modi first assumed office on May 26, 2014, and has since led the country through three consecutive terms. His continued electoral success has allowed him to remain in office longer than any other non-Congress Prime Minister and place himself among the most enduring political leaders in India’s democratic history.

The achievement also puts him ahead of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s record of 4,077 days of uninterrupted service. Modi crossed that milestone earlier and is now set to overtake Nehru’s long-standing benchmark as well.

Beyond the duration of his tenure, Modi has already created several political records. Following the 2024 General Elections, he became only the second Prime Minister after Nehru to win three consecutive mandates from the electorate. Political observers note that while Indira Gandhi served three terms as Prime Minister, her tenures were not consecutive due to her electoral defeat in 1977.

Analysts believe that Modi’s records as a non-Congress Prime Minister may remain difficult to surpass in the near future. With his current term extending until 2029, there is potential for several more milestones to be added to his political legacy.

Additionally, when combining his years as Chief Minister of Gujarat and Prime Minister of India, Modi has already spent more than 8,900 days in elected executive office, making him one of the longest-serving public representatives in the country’s history. If he completes his current term, that figure could move closer to the 10,000-day mark, further cementing his place in Indian political history.

A devastating fire accident in South Delhi claimed at least 21 lives and left more than 40 people injured on Wednesday morning. The massive blaze broke out around 9 AM at Flourish Stay B&B, a lodging facility located in Malviya Nagar, triggering a large-scale rescue operation.

According to preliminary reports, many of the victims were foreign nationals from Central Asian and African countries. Authorities fear the death toll could rise further as rescue and search operations continue.

The establishment was reportedly licensed under the Delhi government’s Bed and Breakfast (B&B) scheme and had permission to operate only six rooms. However, initial investigations suggest that the management may have violated regulations by accommodating guests in as many as 25 rooms, including spaces in the basement, far exceeding the approved capacity.

Firefighters rushed to the scene soon after the incident was reported. While the flames spread rapidly across the building, emergency teams managed to rescue over 40 people trapped inside, preventing an even greater tragedy.

Officials are yet to determine the exact cause of the fire. A detailed investigation has been launched to ascertain whether safety violations or negligence contributed to the disaster.

Expressing grief over the loss of lives, Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed his condolences to the bereaved families. He announced an ex-gratia payment of ₹2 lakh to the families of each deceased victim and ₹50,000 to those injured in the incident.

The tragic blaze has once again raised serious concerns over fire safety compliance and regulatory enforcement in commercial establishments operating under residential accommodation schemes.

The denial of permission for Jana Sena’s proposed Telangana Nava Nirmana Sankalpa Sabha has sparked fresh political controversy in the state. After both the police and the High Court refused permission for the event, Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan reacted strongly, accusing authorities of trying to suppress democratic rights.

Addressing the media, Pawan Kalyan questioned those attempting to prevent his entry into Telangana. “Telangana Mee Ayya Jaageera?” he asked, expressing anger over efforts to stop him from conducting political meetings in the state.

Pawan asserted that his association with Telangana goes back decades and is not a recent development. He recalled travelling extensively across the region long before many of his current critics entered public life. He also highlighted his visits to remote and Naxal-affected areas, including Adilabad, to emphasize his long-standing connection with the region.

Clarifying his position on Telangana, the Jana Sena leader stated that neither he nor his party is opposed to the state. He explained that his objections were only to the manner in which Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated, alleging that the process was pushed through by closing Parliament doors and bypassing proper democratic procedures.

Pawan Kalyan further said that Jana Sena believes in building a socially inclusive Telangana where all communities can prosper together. He noted that the people of Telangana had supported him during difficult phases of his political journey and said there was no need for him to prove his respect and affection for Telangana, its culture, and its people.

With the controversy over the denied permission continuing to escalate, Pawan Kalyan’s remarks are likely to intensify the political debate in Telangana in the coming days.
