Observing Friday, the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as unemployment day, Youth Congress workers protested against the Union government’s policies that they said, had wrecked the future of the country’s youth.
As a mark of protest, they queued up in front of the head post office to send Mr. Modi copies of their academic certificates.
This was followed by a serving of “cow dung payasam”.
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.
