Include COVID-19 treatment in Arogyasri as promised, demands CLP leader
Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Bhatti Vikramarka has blamed Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for the worsening health situation in the State and pointed out that the Chief Minister had always belittled the Congress that warned him on the Corona situation and the need to be prepared to tackle it. Mr. Vikramarka also demanded that the government include COVID-19 treatment in Arogyasri as promised by the Chief Minister in the Assembly when he had raised the issue during a discussion on the subject. Speaking to reporters here, he said the Chief Minister has become immune to people’s misery even in the pandemic and was engaged in a political witchhunt when people were dying without access to oxygen and hospital beds.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.
