The Hindu
No loss of life or property is reported; normal life hit in all the mandals
With the impact of depression in Bay of Bengal, the Vizianagaram district received significant rainfall on Friday also. Garividi mandal received the highest rainfall of 27 mm and Komarada mandal witnessed 5.2 mm rainfall. No loss of life or property was reported although normal life was affected in all the 34 mandals in the district.
District Collector A. Suryakumari visited the rain-affected areas and Kusha waterfalls in Gummalakshmipuram mandal of the district. The Collector, who recently prepared a documentary on tourism places and opportunities in the district, said that there were many waterfalls in the district and they could be converted into the best tourism spots.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
