The Hindu
Thuvakkam, an NGO, has roped in Aravani Art Project to create murals in a select few Metro stations in Chennai. Thuvakkam’s aim is to start ‘Metro Green Zones’ and as part of this, murals, indoor plants and moss wall art will be created in stations. For this purpose, a bunch of transgender persons are here to paint murals at Metro stations, especially the car parking areas.
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.
