The annual ‘arudra darshan’ at the famous Sri Mangalanathaswamy Temple in Thiru Uthirakosamangai in Ramanathapuram district drew a large number of devotees from far and near on Sunday.
The ‘santhana kappu kalaithal’ abishekam, performed by priests, commenced in the morning. A total of 32 types of abishekams with sandalwood paste, milk, paneer, tender coconut, curd, etc., were performed for the presiding deity.
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.
