Three persons were killed in a road accident here on Sunday. The police said that Ponsekar, 43, Wilson Herbin, 43, and Wilson Rajni Raja, 35, of Thisayanvilai near here were proceeding to their home from Tirunelveli. As the vehicle approached Mannarpuram Pass, it suddenly overturned. In the melee, the vehicle was badly damaged and the accident claimed Ponsekar’s life on the spot while the other two, who had suffered serious injuries, were rushed to the Nanguneri Government Hospital. However, doctors said that they had also succumbed to injuries.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.
