Shree Kshetra Dharmasthala Rural Development Project, a non-governmental organisation, will introduce on Monday 350 vehicles across the State to enable COVID-19 patients in rural areas to reach hospitals, COVID care centres and to return home after treatment. This free service will be available for the next two weeks, project Executive Director L.H. Manjunath said in a release on Sunday. The service will be available only in taluks served by SKDRDP. There will be two vehicles in each such taluk.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.
