The Andhra Pradesh Revenue Association demands action for the murder of Visakhapatnam Rural Tahsildar and support for his family.
The Andhra Pradesh Revenue Association (APRSA) on Sunday demanded swift action against the culprits responsible for the murder of Visakhapatnam Rural Tahsildar Sanapala Ramanayya.
Ramanayya was killed by unidentified miscreants at his apartment at Kommadi Junction in Madhurawada under PM Palem police station limits in Visakhapatnam, late on February 2 night.
APRSA State president Boppajju Venkateswarlu, addressing a press conference here on Sunday, urged the State government to pay ex gratia to the bereaved family, apart from providing a Group-II job to Ramanayya’s wife.
“The incident has sent shockwaves among Revenue Department employees. They are worried about the developments, and there is an immediate need to instill confidence among them. The government should take steps in that direction. The Revenue staff have the responsibility of protecting the government lands. Such incidents would affect their morale, particularly at a time when they are likely to be transferred and posted in different districts,” Mr. Venkateswarlu added.
Political economist Parakala Prabhakar has described the exit poll results as “fudged figures”, saying that those would benefit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) only. “False predictions were given with the sole objective of helping the NDA in rigging during the counting,” alleged Mr. Prabhakar, after releasing a book titled ‘Avineeti Chakravarthi Narendra Modi’ penned by former Minister Vadde Shobanadreeswara Rao, here, on June 2 (Sunday).
