KIRAN IN TALKS ON FUTURE COURSE OF ACTION

"The Prime Minister says his heart bleeds over such incidents. But he should understand that the hearts of crores of Telugu people are bleeding because of the undemocratic acts of the Centre,"

Kiran Kumar Reddy, CM, Andhra Pradesh
Three Congress MLAs from Andhdra Pradesh quit the party today protesting Centre's decision to go ahead with the Telangana Bill even as Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy invoked the Telugu pride again and took a dig at the Prime Minister.
It was also the final day of vote-on-account budget session of the Legislative Assembly. Perhaps it could well be the last sitting of the Legislature of the unified Andhra Pradesh, if Telangana were to become a reality soon.
The Congress suffered a set back as three MLAs from coastal region -- Adala Prabhakar Reddy, Sridhar Krishna Reddy (both from Nellore district) and B Satyananda Rao (East Godavari) -- quit the party denouncing the move to carve out the separate state of Telangana.
Another Congress MLA R Suryaprakash Rao had resigned from the party on February 11, protesting disciplinary action against Congress MP from Rajahmundry, V Arun Kumar, one of the six Lok Sabha members expelled from the party.
Indications are that more Congress MLAs from Seemandhra --staring at bleak electoral prospects in the two regions--could desert the party soon, seeking greener pastures in TDP and YSRCP.
Meanwhile, YSR Congress president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy has called for a bandh tomorrow against the "forced introduction" of Telangana Bill in Parliament.
The Chief Minister, who is in consultations with Union Ministers, MPs and legislators from Seemandhra to decide on future course of action in the election year, termed the ugly incidents in Lok Sabha over the Telangana Bill as "very unfortunate" and said Centre should ponder over what caused such a situation.

MEDICAL NEGLEGENCE PUT CONSUMER FORA BUSY

YEAR 2013 REVIEW Cases related to deficiency in services by railways, airlines and automobile majors kept the various consumer fora in the country busy while they also dealt sternly with rising instances of medical negligence and "black sheep" in the health sector in 2013. Doctors and hospitals got a stern message from consumer fora, which asked the Centre and the Medical Council of India (MCI) to identify and take action against the "black sheep" in the profession who did not hesitate to put patients' lives at risk for greed. "We can only suggest to MCI to take note of the prevailing atmosphere in the medical profession and identify such black sheep as are responsible for creating an impression in the public mind that they are being milked by greedy doctors. "Government should take steps to protect patients from unscrupulous medical practitioners," the East Delhi District Consumer Forum had said while directing a city-based clinic to pay...

MH 370 CRASH AREA NOT INDIAN OCEAN

The search for the missing Malaysian jet suffered yet another blow today after Australia ruled out a large area in the Indian Ocean where four acoustic signals were detected as the final resting place of the plane. The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Bluefin-21, completed its last mission searching the remaining areas in the vicinity of the acoustic signals detected in early April by the Towed Pinger Locator deployed from the Australian ship Ocean Shield. "The data collected on yesterday's mission has been analysed. As a result, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre can advise that no signs of aircraft debris have been found by the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle since it joined the search effort," the Joint Agency Coordination Centre that is leading the search said.
