TDP's bandh call in Vizianagaram/Srikakulam districts evokes partial response; police deployed at leaders' homes. Protest staged at Vizianagaram RTC complex, shops closed on request.
The bandh call given by by The Telugu Desam Party in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts, has been partial so for on Monday morning.
In spite of deployment of heavy police force at the houses of important leaders like former Union Minister P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju, TDP District President Kimidi Nagarjuna, the leaders coordinated the bandh from early hours of Monday.
The bandh was called for after the ACB court had sent former Chief Minister and TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu to 14-day remand for his alleged involvement in the A.P. Skill Development Corporation scam.

They staged protest at Vizianagaram RTC complex, preventing the movement of the vehicles. As most of the people are aware about the bandh, they did not come to the bus stand. APSRTC which anticipated damage to the vehicles did not operate buses after 6 am. Vizianagaram Chamber of Commerce Secretary Ravva Srinivas said that shops and establishments remained closed on the request of TDP.
Mr.Nagarjuna who has been confined to his home in Cheepurupalli strongly deplored the deployment of police forces at his house in Cheepurupalli. He alleged that opposition parties had the right to register their protest when their leader was arrested. He said that the bandh had evoked good response voluntarily as people believed that Mr. Naidu was not involved in scam. Former Minister and Rajam in-charge Kondru Muralimohan strongly criticised Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy for ‘misusing’ official machinery to settle scores with opposition leaders.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
