Kodaikanal police arrested four persons from Sellur in Madurai on a charge of assaulting a resident here in an inebriated state. Police said that eight persons from Sellur visited the hill station two days ago. They were staying in a cottage on Convent Road. Some of them had consumed liquor and were creating a ruckus. When a resident, Jerald Peter, objected to their behaviour, the youths attacked him and also damaged his car.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.
