Garbage and debris dumped on the road making it tough for motorists
The land along the service lane, off the bypass in Nolambur, has turned into dump, making it tough for motorists to drive through the stretch.
Residents of Nolambur complained that garbage has been dumped along the service lanes. Motorists faced risk of fall into the open stormwater drains on the other side of the road in the stretch between Ambattur industrial estate and Maduravoyal.
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.
