The innovative space has digital forest games, awareness posters with storyline, table-top exhibits (including of computer components, storage devices, sensors, Raspberry pi and Arduino security systems) with audio output description through headsets. It will also take children to the world of drones and robots and shed light on the role of the police in tackling cyber crimes. Cyber quiz sessions too will he hosted.
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.
