During the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic, to boost the immunity against the virus, ‘kabasura kudineer’ and zinc and vitamin C tablets were widely distributed to the public by the district administration, corporation and voluntary organisations in Madurai. During the second wave, these efforts are missing. Though over two lakh people have been inoculated in the district , the rest are waiting to get vaccinated to fight the mutant virus. Till everyone is vaccinated and their immunity boosted to fight the new strain, the district administration should distribute the ‘kabasura kudineer’ and zinc and vitamin tablets by organising camps in urban and rural areas so that people can put a stiff resistance to contain the spread of the mutant virus.

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.
