Officials attribute it to increase in testing; oppn. parties allege poor sanitation
The Visakhapatnam district is witnessing an increase in cases of malaria and dengue. While the dengue cases are rampant in the urban limits, Agency areas are reporting more number of malaria cases.
While the officials attribute the rise to increase in testing, the Opposition and Left parties blame on poor sanitation and apathy from the officials in taking steps to control the vector-borne diseases.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
