Theatre inspections reveal alarming violations across Andhra Pradesh

VIJAYAWADA: In Kakinada district, shockingly, one theatre failed to meet 12 mandatory norms, while two other theatres failed to meet 11 and 10 norms respectively. RDO S Malli Babu, who led inspections at 11 theatres including those in Pithapuram, Samalkot, and Kakinada Urban, reported serious violations including expired fire extinguishers, lack of fire safety, missing exit signage, and unsanitary conditions. In one theatre, food quality failed to meet FSSAI standards, with cooking oil being reused repeatedly without replacement. Another was found selling tea at Rs 110, coffee at Rs 120, and Coke (650 ml) at Rs 210, without FSSAI certification and no provision of drinking water. Building plans were unavailable in several cases, and automatic fire suppression systems were missing. As part of a statewide drive ordered by Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, revenue and police officials have launched extensive inspections of cinema theatres across the state, focusing on safety, hygiene, pricing, and compliance with government norms. In Vijayawada, officials inspected 36 theatres, including prominent multiplexes like PVP, Trendset, INOX, and Lila. Of these, 28 were operational, 22 in urban areas and six in Ibrahimpatnam and Mylavaram. Speaking to TNIE, RDO Kavuri Chaitanya said inspections focused on fire safety, disaster preparedness, parking, and maintenance. Reports will be submitted to district collectors shortly.

Checks included fire safety certification, electrical wiring, ticketing, hygiene, and water availability. Officials verify fire safety and food pricing In Vizianagaram, Joint Collector Sedhu Madhavan, along with RDO Savaramma conducted surprise checks at Leela Mahal and other theatres. They reviewed seating, lighting, sanitation, parking and canteen conditions. Fire safety and food pricing were verified by interacting with the audience. We acted on the directions of higher officials, and will soon file a report, said Madhavan. In Tanuku, Municipal Commissioner T Ram Kumar and Tahsildar DVS Ashok Varma instructed theatre managements to ensure cleanliness and transparency in pricing. In response to theatre bandh threat, concerns were raised over parking, snacks prices, and quality standards. Pawan Kalyan ordered inspections to ensure theatres follow norms.

KAKINADA: Eight youngsters are feared to have drowned in the River Godavari at Kaminilanka in Mummidivaram mandal on Monday while taking a bath. A group of 11 youths from Kakinada, Ramachandrapuram, and Mandapeta had come to attend a family function at Sherilanka village in K Gangavaram mandal.

Expressing shock over the incident, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu directed the Konaseema District Collector to intensify search and rescue efforts. All out efforts to trace missing youths According to police, the sudden depth was caused due to recent rains in upstream of the river.

The victims have been identified as Sabbati Kranti (19), Sabbati Paul (18), Ellamarti Sai (18), Tathipudi Nitish (18) from Kakinada, Yelipe Mahesh (14), Vaddi Rajesh (13), Vaddi Mahesh (14) from Sherilanka, Rohith (18) from Mandapeta.

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu expressed concern over the disappearance of eight youths in the Godavari River near Kaminilanka. He talked to the district collector over the phone to review ongoing search operations. He directed officials to take all necessary measures to rescue the missing individuals and ensure regular updates to their families. In response to recurring water-related accidents, Naidu issued strict instructions to officials to install warning boards at all water bodies across the state. He ordered the identification of hazardous locations, such as ponds and lakes, through the village and ward secretariat staff, and the immediate installation of cautionary signage. Naidu emphasized that district collectors must enforce these measures, warning of severe action against negligence or failure to comply. Minister Vasamsetty Subhash expressed deep sorrow over the incident, assuring the victims families that all efforts will be made to trace the missing youths and support will be extended to the grieving families.

No end to curiosity: 72-year-old doctor masters IIT courses

RAJAMAHENDRAVARAM: Age is no barrier to learning, and veteran psychiatrist Dr Karri Ramareddy has proved it. At 72, when most people look take retirement, he continues to pursue academic excellence. He has earned 61 degrees, including three PhDs and 11 certifications through the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL), offered by premier institutions such as IIT Mumbai and IIT Kharagpur. He has topped eight of the NPTEL courses among thousands of learners across the country, securing Elite Plus Silver or Gold grades in each, which is his latest achievement. Born in Rajamahendravaram, on August 1, 1954, and raised in the small town of Anaparthi in East Godavari district, his journey has been one of relentless learning. He completed his early education at the Government Zilla Parishad High School in Anaparthi, his PUC at PR College in Kakinada, and his MBBS at Rangaraya Medical College in 1970. He later joined the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru, where he completed his MD in Psychiatry. Dr Ramareddy is the recipient of prestigious honours such as the Rashtrapati Award and the Dr BC Roy Award. Among his 61 degrees are five LLMs. His three doctoral degrees include one in Law from Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University in Visakhapatnam, Yoga from Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth in Pune, and a third in Education from Bharathiar University.

I never let age come between me and my curiosity. My parents, Karri Peda Kapu Venkatareddy and Mangayamma, had a great influence on me. I used to visit the library and read extensively from a young age. Titles are milestones, not destinations. True success lies in staying relevant and staying hungry for knowledge. Study wherever you wish, but rememberto serve your own country is a privilege, not a sacrifice, he said. Speking to TNIE, he said he is preparing for next academic pursuit and has no signs to slow down. If you love learning, life itself becomes your classroom. I intend to keep learning till my last breath, he said. If you have a passion for learning, age is never a hindrance. Learning is a continuous process, regardless of age, time or year. I used to dedicate five hours to study every day, he added.

Speaking to TNIE, the minister said: After the abundant paddy production in the state, the state government started exporting rice to the Philippines.
