A youth died on Tuesday after hitting a median while driving a motorbike in Tiruvottiyur.
The youth has been identified as Abdul Sajeeth, 19, of Thiyagarayapuram, Tiruvottiyur. His father had bought him a new high-end motorbike 10 days ago. When he was riding the bike rashly on Ennore Expressway on Monday evening, he lost control of the two-wheeler near Sadanandapuram and hit the median. In the impact, Abdul was thrown off the vehicle and injured his head.

The police said Abdul had met with an accident while riding a motorcycle a year ago. He had recovered six months ago and had insisted that his parents buy him a new bike.
More than 2.6 lakh village and ward volunteers in Andhra Pradesh, once celebrated as the government’s grassroots champions for their crucial role in implementing welfare schemes, are now in a dilemma after learning that their tenure has not been renewed after August 2023 even though they have been paid honoraria till June 2024.
