Members of Visakhapatnam Apartment Resident Welfare Association (VARWA) and Visakha Residential Colony Associations’ Federation (NIVAS) staged a protest at Alluri Seetarama Raju Statue, Seethammadhara, here on Tuesday, against the proposed property tax hike. The members alleged that the property tax will be increased by five to six times if the contents of the draft notification of the GVMC which was recently released are implemented. They also demanded a debate on the issues of property tax and garbage tax at the GVMC council meet slated on June 23.With the Prajwal Revanna sexual abuse case taking new twists every day, JD(S) State president and former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Monday appealed to the Hassan MP, who is his nephew, to return and subject himself to the legal process. This is the first time that such an appeal has been made by the family.
Amidst continuing protest over the murder of Anjali Ambiger in Hubballi, Home Minister G. Parameshwara, who visited the victim’s family on Monday, announced in a press conference that like the Neha Hiremath case, this too would be handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for inquiry.
