Taking serious note of the shocking incident wherein the decomposed bodies of two COVID-19 patients (who died during the first wave in 2020) that were found in the mortuary of ESIC Model Hospital in Rajajinagar after 15 months, the Employees State Insurance Corporation, which comes under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, has removed the incumbent Dean and Director Jithendra Kumar.
In his place, Renuka Ramaiah, director professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the hospital has been appointed as in charge dean and director. An order copy in this regard was issued by Assistant Director Sanjay Kumar Gupta on Wednesday.
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.
