We pay our tribute to them. Our security forces were successful in eliminating three infiltrating terrorists. Indian Army has eliminated more than 200 hundred terrorists during the last one year. If someone has to be given credit for this war, we should solute our martyrs and credit must go to our valiant soldiers. The Union Government has made every effort during the last three and a half years from carrying out surgical strike to ensuring the security of our borders. THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI HANSRAJ GANGARAM AHIR) also responding, said: The entire country expresses its profound sorrow on the incident that took place yesterday. At around 3:35 a.m. on 31st December, 2017, three terrorists equipped with large quantity of sophisticated weapons attacked the Central Reserve Police Forces' Group Center, 185 battalion located at Lethpura, Pulwama. The terrorists entered the Administrative Bock of the Center amid a volley of fire and throwing of grenade. In the initial exchange of fire, three jawans of the CRPF got hit by the bullets. Immediately after getting information about the incident, 50 RR&SOGC Units of the Army reached over there and the encounter started. During the retaliatory action, three other jawans of the CRPF were martyred. The other injured jawans were admitted into the 92 base hospital of the Army located at Badami Bagh. During this action, an officer has been confirmed dead due to heart attack. During the action of the security forces, two terrorists were killed. During the search operation restarted on 1st January, 2018, another terrorist hiding inside started firing on security forces who was killed in the counter attack. Three security personnel were also injured in this attack. There has been partial damage to the administrative building of the Group Center of the CRPF located at Pulwama during this attack and an F.I.R. has been registered in this regard. The General Philip Compose Committee Report related to the security of the camps meant for ensuring security. The Defence Ministry is also working on this report. The fund provided for police modernization will also be utilized for the modernization of the police force of the State. From 2010 to 2013, 1218 terrorist incidents took place. From 2014 to 2017, these numbers have declined to 1094 incidents. Besides, from 2010 to 2013, 108 citizens lost their lives in terrorist incidents. However, since the advent of this Government only, 100 citizens have lost their lives from 2014 to 2017. This number has also witnessed a decline. At the same time, I would like to submit that during the encounters of the terrorists by our Armed Forces, 471 terrorists had been killed from 2010 to 2013, while from 2014 to 2017, 580 terrorists have been eliminated. This is an achievement of the Government. The Government does not leave any stone unturned in combating the terrorists and is committed to provide all the equipments to security forces for their modernization. (2) Re: Need to resolve drinking water problem in Karnataka THE MINISTER OF CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS; AND MINISTER OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS (SHRI ANANTHKUMAR) responding to the issue raised by several hon. Members, said: On Mahadayi issue the hon. Chief Minister of Goa has already written a letter to the former Chief Minister of Karnataka, Shri B.S. Yeddyurappa to provide 7.56 TMC feet of water for drinking purposes. He is ready to have an outside tribunal negotiation. Now, it is the responsibility of the Chief Minister of Karnataka to have talks with the Goa Chief Minister because Goa Chief Minister has already come one step forward. We should better utilize this opportunity in the interest of the farmers and for drinking water purposes because we have the drought-prone area in North Karnataka. ______ *MATTERS UNDER RULE 377 1.

Introduction Kakatiyas- an indigenous Telugu dynasty ruled over the Andhradesa consisting of modern states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh from 10th century AD to the first quarter of 14th century AD. The name ‘Kakatiya’ is derived from goddess Kakati- a mother goddess Durga, venerated by the dynasty. Gunadya Rashtrakuta was the first known personality of the Kakatiya clan. He was the commander of the Rashtrakuta Krishna II who died in the battlefield while fighting with the Eastern Chalukyas. King Krishna II, very pleased with Gundaya’s loyal service towards him, rewarded Ereya, Gunadya’s son with the governorship of the Korivi region. Kakatiyas were the feudatories of Rashtrakuta kings upto 10th century AD after which they were overthrown by the Kalyana Chalukyas. Kakatiyas then became the feudatories or samanthas of Kalyana Chalukyans. The Kakatiya rulers Beta I (AD 996–1051), Prola I (AD 1052–1076), Beta II (AD 1076–1108), Durgaraja (AD 1108–1116) and Prola II (AD 1116– 1157) served the Kalyana Chalukyas until the collapse of Chalukya empire during Tailapa III’s reign.

It is a matter of great pride that India has shown itself to be a path-breaker on this count. In mythology as well as since historical times we have worshipped goddesses and attributed the most important portfolios to them. Historically it was Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi who sowed the first seeds of rebellion towards almost a century long battle for the freedom of India.

  • Historical Places Near Warangal
    Historical Places near Warangal Warangal is recognized as one of the best heritage cities of India. It is 145 km away from the state capital Hyderabad. It is also the second largest city in the state of Telangana. The city's name is derived from the Telugu word Orugallu; 'Oru' which means one and the word 'gallu' meaning stone. The city was the capital of the great Kakatiya rulers who reigned between 12th and 14th centuries. Thousand Pillar Temple: Many Hindu temples were developed under the patronage of Ganapati Deva, Rudrama Devi and Prataparudra who were of Kakatiya dynasty. The Thousand Pillar Temple was believed to be constructed during the period between 1175-1324 CE by order of the king, Rudra Deva. It stands out to be a masterpiece and achieved major heights in terms of architectural skills by the ancient Kakatiya vishwakarma sthapathis. Bhadrakali Temple: The temple is believed to be built in 625 A.D by the King Pulakeshin II of Chalukya dynasty to commemorate his victory over Vengi region of Andhra Desham, as per the writings on the temple wall. Kakatiya kings later have adopted the temple and considered Goddess Bhadrakali as their "Kula Devatha". A lake was also built by Ganapatideva adjacent to the temple. Due to the fall of Kakatiya dynasty to the Muslim rulers of Delhi, the temple lost its prominence. In 1950, the temple was renovated by Sri Ganapathi Sastri a devi upasaka along with the help of a local merchant and other affluent locals. Warangal Fort: Warangal Fort, in Warangal district, Telangana in India.
