Under the Smart City project, the civic body proposed to carry out development works in the existing bus terminus in the city that is spread over 12 acres at a cost of ₹39.5 crore. Hence, it decided to establish a temporary bus stand at Solar so that buses to Karur, Tiruchi, Madurai, Dindigul, Tirunelveli and Nagercoil could be operated from there. The civic body owns 51.4 acres at Solar and hence, it decided to utilise around five acres for establishing the temporary bus stand that could accommodate 40 buses.
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.
