COVID continued to wreak havoc in South Coastal Andhra Pradesh as a record number of over 2,500 persons got infected and eight more patients succumbed to the disease in a span of 24 hours. Normal life was hit in the region as shops and commercial establishments downed the shutters by noon in the wake of the increasing number of fresh cases. Worried over the rapid spread of the disease, most people remained indoors.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.
