    BRS President and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao is expected to unveil an action plan for the party leaders and give a direction on the party activities over the next six months ahead of the Assembly polls in the State. All MLAs, MLCs and MPs of the party are expected to attend the meeting.

    Sources said the primary focus of the meeting would be the preparations for the Telangana Formation Day celebrations to be held on June 2. The government has already decided to host the celebrations for 21 days, utilising the opportunity to showcase the Telangana model of development to the people of the country. The State government is actively preparing publicity material and documentaries highlighting various schemes implemented across departments, the sources added.

    The Chief Minister is keen that party leaders seize the opportunity to take the development and welfare activities undertaken by the BRS government in the last nine years to the doorsteps of the people. The party leaders believe that the Telangana Model of development can serve as a blueprint for other parts of the country, contributing to the party’s expansion.

    The meeting is also likely to discuss the outcome of the recent Karnataka Assembly elections. The BRS has always maintained that the Congress is its main rival in the State, and they remain firm in their belief that the BJP will not have a significant impact on the Telangana Assembly elections, particularly after its defeat in Karnataka.

    Delhi’s air quality deteriorates amid dust pollution

    NEW DELHI: The air quality in the national capital deteriorated on Tuesday following a high level of dust pollution in various parts of the city and its surrounding areas.

    According to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR), the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) of Delhi was recorded at 176 under the ‘moderate’.

    However, the AQI is likely to deteriorate further from Wednesday.

    According to the available data, PM10 levels were really high at most of the stations.

    An AQI between zero and 50 is considered “good”, 51 and 100 “satisfactory”, 101 and 200 “moderate”, 201 and 300 “poor”, 301 and 400 “very poor”, and 401 and 500 “severe”.

    As per SAFAR data, the AQI at Lodhi Road was reported at 205 under the “poor” category, while it was 191 and 169 in Pusa and on Mathura Road, respectively, both under the “moderate” category.

    As per expert analysis, the dusty conditions observed in Delhi can be attributed to the prevailing cyclonic circulation in Rajasthan.

    This cyclonic circulation has led to dust storms and occasional light rainfall in the northern regions of Rajasthan.

    The consequences of these weather patterns are expected to affect Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, and certain areas of Punjab in a phased manner over the next 3-4 days.
