The Hindu
His work in organising free career guidance sessions for nearly 25,000 youngsters won him the recognition
Bisathi Bharath, a 25-year-old Post Graduate in Political Science and Economics hailing from the district, has been presented the prestigious Diana Award 2021, given to young people for their humanitarian work. While the award is given in person in London, the COVID situation has forced the organisers to present it virtually on Monday night (Indian Standard Time).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.
