The Tirumalayapalem police on Thursday arrested two members of a gang that was allegedly involved in stealing harvested chilli crop of farmers in the mandal amid lockdown. According to sources, the gang had allegedly stolen huge stocks of harvested chilli lying in the open yards in various villages, including Kakaravai, Patvarigudem and Chandruthanda in the last couple of days. The two members identified as V Ravi, 32, and Naresh, 23, of Mahabubabad district, were held during a vehicle checking drive at Kokkireni crossroads on Thursday afternoon.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
