Narrow escape for passengers as private bus catches fire in Andhra
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Nov 10 (IANS) Passengers of a private travel bus had a narrow escape after the vehicle caught fire in Andhra Pradeshs Prakasam district in the early hours of Tuesday, police said. The accident occurred near Chandi in Valetivaripalem mandal around 1.30 a.m. The bus, which was heading to Vijayawada from Kadapa, caught fire after one of its front tyres came off. The alert driver immediately stopped the bus and alerted the passengers. There were 33 passengers aboard the bus, and all of them got off before the flames engulfed the vehicle. The bus was completely gutted in the fire. A fire engine rushed to the spot and doused the fire. Police have registered a case and taken up the investigation. Prakasam district had witnessed a similar accident in May this year. As many as 36 passengers of a private travel bus had a narrow escape when the vehicle caught fire at Bheemavaram Adda Road in Ulavapadu mandal. The bus was on its way to Tirupati from Hyderabad. The driver noticed smoke emanating from the engine. Showing presence of mind, he immediately stopped the bus and alerted passengers. All the passengers managed to get down from the bus before the fire engulfed the vehicle. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief as all passengers deboarded. Meanwhile, two police personnel were injured when a police vehicle overturned at Pargi in Vikarabad district of Telangana. The driver apparently lost control of the vehicle and rammed into a road divider. The accident occurred when police personnel were returning to Hyderabad from Kodangal, where they were part of the security arrangements made for Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. The Chief Ministers three-day visit to his Assembly constituency, Vikarabad, concluded on Monday. Meanwhile, three people were injured in another road accident at Nacharam near Hyderabad on Tuesday. The accident occurred when a speeding car rammed into an auto-rickshaw. Police shifted the injured to a hospital.

TDP-led coalition wins 85 pc ZPTCs, 75 pc MPTCs in Andhra civic body polls
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Nov 8 (IANS) Continuing its impressive performance in local body elections, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)-led NDA in Andhra Pradesh has bagged 499 out of 582 Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituencies (ZPTC) seats and 5,861 out of 7,768 Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituencies (MPTC) seats. Opposition YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) emerged second biggest party after the TDP to wing 76 ZPTCs and 1,711 MPTCs. The State Election Commission (SEC) on Sunday night released the final results of the counting. Polling was conducted for 582 ZPTCs and 7,767 MPTCs in 28 districts on November 5 following the declaration of 77 and 2,051 ZPTCs and MPTCs respectively as unanimously elected. The TDP and its allies, the Jana Sena Party (JSP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) captured majority of the seats. The TDP emerged as the largest party, winning 406 ZPTCs and 4,806 MPTCs. The JSP led by Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan bagged 73 ZPTCs and 938 MPTCs. The BJP won 20 ZPTCs and 117 MPTCs. The YSRCP, which was crushed by the ruling TDP-led coalition in the urban local body elections last week, performed better, winning 76 ZPTCs and 1,711 MPTCs. The Congress drew a blank while CPI-M won one ZPTC and 15 MPTCs. Six Independents emerged victorious in ZPTC polls while 162 Independents were elected in MPTC elections. The ruling TDP-led coalition swept the polls in majority of the districts. Out of 32 ZPTCs in Sri Sathya Sai district, TDP won 21 and YSRCP nine. In Tirupati district, the TDP bagged 21 out of 31 seats. YSRCP stood second with six seats. In YSR Kadapa, the home district of YSRCP Chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, his party could win only two out of 16 ZPTC seats. The TDP bagged 12 seats and the remaining two were won by JSP. TDP also won 26 out of 30 ZPTCs in SPSR Nellore district while YSRCP could win just two, continued their stellar performance in the elections to the Zilla and Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituencies (ZPTCs and MPTCs) after crushing the YSRCP in the Urban Local Body (ULB) elections. The YSRCP leaders alleged that the counting of votes polled in the ZPTCs and MPTCs was fraught with irregularities, and the State Election Commission ignored their complaints. YSRCP Chief Jagan Mohan Reddy alleged that irregularities continue to taint the local body elections under Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. He claimed that like during the municipal election count, officials during the ZPTC and MPTC vote count were also pressured to manipulate results in several districts. Democracy is being undermined at every turn. Chandrababu Naidu may have won the election, but he has suffered a moral defeat. We may have lost the election, but we have won the hearts of the people, Jagan Mohan Reddy said. Power may help someone win an election, but it cannot earn the people's trust. Democracy may be suppressed, but the people's aspirations cannot be silenced. I salute our party leaders and workersespecially the womenwho stood firm in defence of democracy despite obstacles, attacks and intimidation. We will continue this struggle with even greater determination, the former Chief Minister added.
