The day temperature crossed 40 degrees Celsius in Anantapur and Kurnool districts for the first time this season on Wednesday, with the majority of the towns in both the districts registering a maximum temperature of 41 degrees C. While people have been taking their own precautions, the Kurnool Municipal Corporation and the Anantapur Municipal Corporation have come up with a novel idea of putting up green shade nets as a canopy at all major junctions in both cities. At the traffic signals of the busy junctions at Raj Vihar and Five Road Junction on the road leading to the National Highway, temporary wooden structures have been erected to support a green shade net cover generally used for plants in the ‘Greenhouse’, as the waiting time for the two-wheelers is very long.
