With the Erode Outer Ring Road project completed and work is in slow place to establish a temporary bus stand at Solar Punjai Lakkapuram, there is a demand for utilising the suburban bus stand at Anakalpalayam in Pudur village that remains non-functional after construction in 2014.
Under the Scheme Component of Pooled Assigned Revenue, the bus stand was constructed at ₹1.53 crore opposite to the Armed Reserve Ground to cater to the growing needs of the people. The bus stand has five bays, separate entrance and exit, 12 shops and other basic amenities. Though the bus stand was inaugurated by former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, through videoconferencing, no buses were operated, so far. The facility is used by farmers for drying crops and vehicle learners.
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.
