Many police personnel and protesters were injured in a clash between Konaseema Sadhana Samithi (KSS) members and the police during the ‘Chalo Konaseema’ march, which was taken out on Tuesday against the proposal to rename Konaseema district as Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema district.
However, no casualty was reported in the clash, in which the protesters set fire to a police vehicle and a private bus following stone-pelting that targeted the police personnel.
Last week, Section 144 was imposed in the Konaseema district in the wake of protests against the proposal to rename the district.
