Konaseema district remains under a blanket of security with police deployment to continue for a few more days to prevent any sudden rise of social tensions over the proposal of renaming the district as Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema district.
Nearly 1,000 police personnel are on alert, guarding the entire district since violence broke out following the clash reported in the district headquarters of Amalapuram on May 24. At least 20 police personnel who were injured in stone-pelting by protesters have recovered and most of them are back on duty.
Amalapuram SP K.S.S.V. Subba Reddy, who was injured in the stone-pelting, is back on duty. He said life has returned to normality across the district. On Thursday, there was no report of any protest across the district, he said.
