Heavy rain continued to lash parts of Belagavi district, leading to water flowing over several bridges and roads. As many as seven bridges across the Krishna, the Doodh Ganga, the Veda Ganga and the Ghataprabha came under water by Thursday evening. However, commuters were not inconvenienced as they used alternative roads.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.
