The Labour inspector of Kollegal taluk in Chamarajanagar near here has been served with a show cause notice for the reported violation of COVID-19-appropriate behaviour during the distribution of ration kits by Karnataka State Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board. The show cause noticed issued by Chamarajanagar Deputy Commissioner M.R. Ravi comes in the wake of reports of absence of any precautionary or safety measures during the programme in Kollegal on July 9. A statement from the district administration said the workers, who had gathered in large numbers, were also found without masks or not maintaining social distance while referring to media reports about the chaos during the distribution programme.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.
