Asks civic body to give details on measures initiated to check spread
The Telangana High Court had directed GHMC to explain steps taken by it to ensure street shandies, which come up in residential localities of Hyderabad on different days of a week, do not turn into super-spreaders of COVID-19.
A Bench of Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy instructed the GHMC to file an affidavit with details of weekly shandies held in different parts of the city and measures initiated to check spread of coronavirus from those street markets.
The Bench was hearing a PIL petition filed by a law student M. Bhuvana who stated that no COVID-19 protocols were being observed at these weekly shandies.

Farmers led by All India Kisan Sabha state president S. Palanisamy protested in front of the R.S. Puram Uzhavar Sandhai (farmers’ market) on Tuesday morning alleging discrimination in enforcing rules.
Mr. Palanisamy said the Agricultural Marketing Department officials while allowing farmers or their representatives to sell vegetables grown in the hill denied the same relaxation to farmers who were within 40km radius. The officials insisted that only farmers who had the permit card to sell in farmers’ markets should set up shops and should not send their family members or farm labourers. This was unfair because the farmer would be tending to farm in the morning and therefore would have to depute somebody in his place.

Farmers across the country, including southern states, have voiced various concerns about the new farm laws, indicating this is not just a regional issue.
“The laws are against the farming community. We do not accept that the magnitude of our opposition is not the same as in Punjab or Haryana. It would take more time for farmers in other parts of the country to realise that the farm laws would make taking away of their land by corporates much easier,” says P R Pandian, the president of the Coordination Committee of Tamil Nadu All Farmers’ Association.
In January, Pandian led an eight-member delegation to the farmers’ protest in Delhi. He says the lack of participation of Tamil Nadu’s farmers at the protest in Delhi does not indicate they are in favour of the bill.
