300 police

personnel deployed

In the wake of severe threats by villagers that they would not allow any official to enter their villages and also the incident of suicide by Peda Krishna Murty (31), a farmer, at Gudepuvalasa, recently, the district administration, as a precautionary step, deployed more than 300 police personnel, including two Deputy Superintendents of Police, four Circle Inspectors and six Sub-inspectors to provide security to the RITES team.

The survey that was conducted by the team from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. passed off peacefully, as majority of the villagers attended a meeting of the YSR Congress leaders who met at Gudepuvalasa to chalk out plan for the scheduled public meeting of the party president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy in Bhogapuram mandal on October 5.
