Vasupalli and shopkeepers stage protest
Officials from the Town Planning wing of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) partially demolished 17 shops, which were reportedly constructed encroaching roads near a school building in Woodyard street, Ward 39 in One Town in the city. Tension prevailed as the shopkeepers along with their family members stopped the GVMC officials. Visakhapatnam (South) MLA Vasupalli Ganesh Kumar reached the spot and joined the protestors. Raising slogans against the officials, the protestors and the MLA staged a sit-in before the earthmovers and stopped the demolition activity for more than an hour. Raju, one of the shopkeepers, said that he has been dependant on the shop for the last 15 years and the demolition will affect him and his family members.
