PG classes to function at full strength, UG in groups of 50%
Postgraduate (PG) classes will function at full strength and undergraduate (UG) classes in groups of 50% strength when colleges reopen for final-year batches on October 4.
The classes for degree students can be held either on alternate days or on all days provided the campus has adequate facilities to ensure physical distancing and minimise the possibility of crowding.
The guidelines for the resumption of offline classes were issued by the Higher Education Department on Friday.
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.
