BJP State president Adesh Gupta on Thursday wrote to Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal over the allegedly criminal and overall “controversial” conduct of civil defence volunteers in the Capital.
According to the BJP, Mr. Gupta said that in view of reports of involvement of civil defence volunteers in crime and their “indecent behaviour”, it was important to verify their credentials and to change the colour of their uniforms.
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.
