    Langur posters is Karimnagar Municipal Corporation’s solution to tackle monkey menace

    Officials start distributing the posters to schools; arrangements also being made to catch monkeys and leave them in forest areas Karimnagar: Monkey trouble? Bring in the langur! The age-old myth that the common monkeys (rhesus macaque) are afraid of Indian Gray Langurs is being put to use by the Municipal Corporation of Karimnagar, which has struck upon the idea of distributing flex posters of langurs to all government schools. Corporation officials took this decision in the wake of monkey attacks on schools and several instances of the simians creating terror among students. It may be recalled that a Class 8 student got both his legs fractured after he fell off the first floor of a school building.

    Over 10 Telangana private engineering colleges score a nought in management quota admissions

    These colleges, located in rural areas of the State, also record poor admissions under convener quota; reflects decline in demand for engineering degrees. Hyderabad: In a concerning trend in the State engineering education, nearly 10 private colleges scored a nought under management quota admissions for the academic year 2024-25, reflecting a decline in demand for engineering degrees.
