In particular, Bharathidasan University, which had the highest number of 10 out of the 41 constituent colleges in its fold, will be able to save close to ₹2 crore every month spent towards salaries for around 700 guest lecturers and non-teaching staff.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.
