Four forest department officials were allegedly beaten up when they were patrolling in South Delhi’s Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary on Thursday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Atul Thakur said that an information was received from Batra Hospital that four forest guards were admitted to the hospital after they were allegedly beaten by a few unknown persons during patrolling the forest. When the police reached the hospital, the guards were found to be undergoing treatment.
“The injured have been examined and the place of incident is being verified and further action will be taken as per their statement and medical examination,” Mr. Thakur said.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
