Srilakshmi on Tuesday and sought her intervention in extending the deadline for filing of objections against the VMRDA Draft Master Plant 2041, till August 31. The BJP leader submitted a memorandum to the Principal Secretary on behalf of the party. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Vishnu Kumar Raju said that at some places, the draft master plan proposes widening of roads beyond what was needed and at others, roads were proposed to be laid across housing layouts, which were already approved by VUDA. Ms. Srilakshmi said that she would look into it.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.
