The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court dismissed a petition that sought a direction to the State to open Siddha dispensaries in temples based on a government order. The court observed that the policy itself required a relook. A Division Bench of Justices T.S. Sivagnanam and S. Ananthi observed that the larger issue was whether it would be advisable and conducive to run a dispensary on temple premises when the government had taken action to establish primary health centres, fever clinics and taluk-level clinics.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.
