On July 23 Telangana journalists in Hyderabad are reported to have performed a “paalabhishekam” (anointment with milk) of the Chief Minister’s portrait at Telangana Memorial at Gunpark. Reason: KCR has finally given the orders for issuance of health cards to journalists on par with the State government employees, a year after he promised it. This is reportedly only a modification of an earlier health insurance scheme implemented by the previous Congress government.
