The alleged manhandling of Rayachoti Municipal Commissioner R. Rambabu by a YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) councillor and his supporters on June 23 evening triggered a row in Annamayya district.
Condemning the incident, around 200 employees of the civic body staged a protest at the Annamayya district Collectorate on June 24 morning. The protesters also submitted memoranda to Collector P.S. Gireesha and Superintendent of Police V. Harshavardhan Raju, seeking action against the culprits.
Municipal Commissioner R. Rambabu told The Hindu that the ruling party councillor K. Venkata Narasimha Reddy, along with a mob of his supporters, barged into his room, demanding that permission be given to some ‘unauthorised layouts’.
