Torrential downpours damage 613 km of roads across Andhra Pradesh

Digital Desk | Amaravati, Sep 24 (IANS) Heavy rains under the impact of Deep Depression in the Bay of Bengal have damaged 613 km of roads in Andhra Pradesh, State Minister B.C. Janardhan Reddy said on Thursday. With heavy rain continuing to lash coastal Andhra even after Deep Depression crossed the coast late on Wednesday night, the Minister for Roads and Buildings (R&B) directed the R&B Department officials to remain on high alert. After a review meeting with officials, he said that due to incessant rains, 613 km of R&B roads across the state have sustained damage as of 7 a.m. on Thursday. Srikakulam district accounted for the highest infrastructure damage, with 356 km of roads getting affected. The Deep Depression caused significant road damage in the districts of Srikakulam, Parvathipuram-Manyam, Vizianagaram, Alluri Sitarama Raju, Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli, Kakinada, East Godavari, Ambedkar Konaseema, West Godavari, Anantapur, Kurnool, and Nandyal. Across the state, roads were washed away at four locations due to the formation of deep craters. Cross-drainage (CD) works were damaged at 78 locations, and the restoration work has already been undertaken at 37 of these sites, said the minister. According to the minister, trees fell on roads at 11 locations and have been completely cleared to ensure a smooth flow of vehicles. Heavy rains caused traffic disruptions at 23 locations, he said, adding that the traffic congestion was successfully cleared at 14 of these spots. It is estimated that approximately Rs 26.95 crore is required for temporary repairs and Rs 224.73 crore for permanent restoration of the rain-damaged roads. The R&B Department has established 78 control rooms across the state and appointed nodal officers. We are continuously assessing ground-level conditions by holding 36 joint coordination meetings with departments affiliated with the R&B wing. We have set up toll-free services in major corporations to provide round-the-clock assistance, Janardhan Reddy said. The department identified 614 locations across the state as vulnerable or accident-prone areas. The department has kept 550 JCBs and 596 power saws ready to clear obstructions such as fallen trees and landslides on roads. The minister said personnel and necessary equipment were kept ready for emergency relief operations.

Would have shot CEC Gyanesh Kumar if: VIP chief Mukesh Sahani on ECI dissent row

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 24 (IANS) Amid the ongoing controversy over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, Vikassheel Insaan Party chief Mukesh Sahani on Thursday made a controversial remark against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, saying he would have shot him if he were permitted to get away with one murder. Sahani was speaking about his allegations against the Election Commission and its handling of the electoral roll revision exercise. What can I do? They are destroying democracy. They are destroying the democracy envisioned by BR Ambedkar. These elections are not for any leader; that is their misunderstanding. Elections are for the citizens, Sahani said. The citizens have the power to remove people if they are not working. When the time comes for the change, they compromise the ECI and do things in their favour. You have seen in Bengal, with the help of police personnel, 27 lakh voters were removed. They formed the government. You have seen in Bihar that, in the middle of the election, the Model Code of Conduct was imposed and Rs 10,000 was sent to peoples accounts, he alleged. Sahani further alleged that the Election Commission had become an extension of the BJP. So, this ECI has become the Election Commission of the BJP. I want to tell Gyanesh Kumar that not every day is the same. You should have some shame... you are playing with the Constitution of India. If I were forgiven for one murder, I would have shot Gyanesh Kumar first, he said. However, Sahani said he would abide by the Constitution and claimed that action would be taken against Kumar in the future. But what can I do? I obey the Constitution. But he will not be spared in the coming times. In 2029, under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, the government will be formed, and he will be among the first to go to jail, along with those who have committed such acts. It would be another matter if they do so before that, he said. Sahani also questioned the need for elections if, according to him, the electoral process was being manipulated. They are playing with the future. If you have to do all these things, then why are you holding elections? Stop holding elections because you are spending too much. If you are taking the mandate in your favour, then why are you conducting elections? he said. His remarks came amid reports that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised objections on at least 14 occasions over a 10-month period concerning decisions and processes related to electoral rolls and the SIR exercise. The reported objections included issues concerning the addition, deletion and restoration of voters names, changes to Form 6 and the handling and management of electoral roll data. The Election Commission, however, has maintained that all decisions, including those related to the SIR, were taken unanimously with the approval of all three Election Commissioners. It also said that individual views or observations during deliberations do not constitute separate decisions of the Commission.

After Jamui, another girl harassed in Bihar; five detained in Samastipur after video goes viral

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 24 (IANS) Days after a Class 10 girl was harassed in Bihar's Jamui, a similar case has emerged this time in Samastipur. A video showing the public harassment of a young girl has surfaced on social media, prompting police action and the detention of five suspects. The alleged incident took place on the Bandh Bypass Road in Jagatsinghpur village, under the jurisdiction of Karpurigram police station, and a few km from the Samastipur district headquarters. According to the preliminary information available to police, the girl had stopped along the roadside with a male companion to take photographs when a group of youths surrounded her and misbehaved with her. The viral video, which began circulating widely on social media late on Wednesday, allegedly shows some youths questioning the girl about her identity, verbally abusing her and engaging in inappropriate behaviour. The footage also appears to show an attempt to pull her along the road. Police said an onlooker is believed to have recorded the incident on a mobile phone before the clip was widely shared across social media platforms. After the video came to their notice, Samastipur Police initiated an investigation and began identifying those seen in the footage. So far, police have identified two suspects as Vikas Sharma and Rahul Kumar, both residents of Jagatsinghpur village. Police have detained five individuals from the village and are questioning them in connection with the case. Police said multiple liquor-related cases are already registered against Vikas Sharma. Samastipur Superintendent of Police Arvind Pratap Singh said officials were examining the roles of all individuals seen in the video and were directed to expedite the investigation and take appropriate legal action against those found involved. Investigators are also verifying the authenticity of the video, establishing when and where the incident took place, and identifying the person who recorded the footage. Police are examining whether the viral clip reflects the complete sequence of events or has been circulated in an edited form. Officials said the identities of everyone appearing in the video, the exact circumstances of the alleged incident and the number of people involved would become clear only after the investigation is completed. Police continue to question the detained suspects and gather information from local residents as the probe progresses.

The landfall, which began late on Wednesday night, continued for two hours, said officials of Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDA).
