Tension prevailed for more than six hours in the Palasa-Kasibugga twin towns of Srikakulam district due to a tussle between TDP leaders and police personnel following the demolition of a culvert, which provided a way to the house of Palasa TDP President Bade Nagaraju.
The tussle between the TDP leaders and the police began when the local municipal authorities and revenue officials came to demolish the culvert which was constructed 15 years ago. It was the only way to reach a few houses, including that of Mr. Nagaraju.
On receiving information about the demolition of the culvert, Srikakulam MP Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu and Palasa former TDP MLA Gowthu Sireesha, Itchapuram MLA Bendalam Ashok and others reached the spot in the early hours of Sunday and staged a protest over the move of the revenue and municipal authorities.
