Many travelled to the PRC protest venue by bus under the guise of wedding parties
Responding to the ‘Chalo Vijayawada’ call given by APNGOs Association and PRC Sadhana Committee to protest the alleged injustice meted out to them in the 11th PRC, State government employees from Visakhapatnam devised unique methods to hoodwink the police force and reach Vijayawada.
Over a thousand employees from various departments managed to reach Vijayawada by Thursday morning, despite the police trying to thwart their travel by setting up check-posts at places such as Nakkapalle in the district.
Authorities tried their best but they failed to prevent us from reaching Vijayawada on Thursday, said K. Eswar, president of APNGOs-Visakhapatnam.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
