The central districts reported 361 fresh cases for COVID-19 on Sunday. This is the lowest number of fresh cases reported since the spike in cases since May. The number of deaths reported too was markedly lower than the previous days. Two patients succumbed to the viral infection on Saturday. Perambalur and Thanjavur districts reported one fresh case each, while no deaths were reported in the other seven districts in the region.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.
