Agency DSC Sadhana Committee to meet Tribal Welfare official on May 1
The leaders and members of the Agency DSC Sadhana Committee will meet Tribal Welfare Principal Secretary M.M. Nayak at the ITDA Rampachodavaram office on May 1, the committee coordinator P. Appala Narasa said here on Wednesday.
The committee will take its final decision on their scheduled Manyam Bandh on May 2 based on the outcome of the meeting with Mr. Nayak on May 1, he added.
Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu announced the DSC as his birthday gift on April 20, but he forgot about the special DSC that would benefit the tribals in the five ITDAs in the State with 100% percent reservation for the tribals, Mr. Narasa added.
During the World Tribal Day celebrations held in Araku in Alluri Sitharama Raju district on August 9, 2024, Mr. Naidu had promised to announce the special DSC for the tribals, but he forgot his promises, Mr. Appala Narasa said.
'At least 10,000 tribal youth across the State are waiting for a special DSC, but the government is not thinking seriously about their sufferings. If the government fails to address the demand of the tribals, then this mega DSC in the State has no meaning. We will make our demand a serious issue in the State with the Manyam Bandh to be held in all the tribal mandals of the five ITDA limitson May 2,' said Mr. Appala Narasa.
He added that the Sadhana Committee of ASR district staged a protest on Wednesday.

Yoga Day preparations lead to traffic congestion in Vizag
Preparations for the upcoming International Yoga Day event are causing severe traffic disruptions across the city, particularly impacting the stretch from the Indira Gandhi Zoo Park to Maddilapalem Junction. The authorities have restricted the entry of vehicles on the Beach Road from Jodugullapalem to RK Beach, leading to severe congestion. Vehicles moved at a snail's pace between Adarsh Nagar Junction and Maddilapalem on Wednesday (June 18, 2025). Though the traffic flow eased a bit during the afternoon, it worsened again by the evening. Motorists were seen stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the stretch from Venkojipalem Junction to Hanumanthawaka Junction. Stranded vehicles included school buses, auto-rickshaws, and even ambulances. 'We expected traffic jams in view of the Yoga Day event, but not so early. The authorities could have at least used one lane of the Beach Road until June 19,' said a commuter, visibly frustrated by the congestion at Venkojipalem Junction. People attending offices and examinations were the worst affected. The DSC candidates who have an examination scheduled for June 19 received calls from the authorities, urging them to start early for the exam centre due to anticipated traffic delays. Both the traffic and civil police personnel were deployed in large numbers to manage the situation. In an attempt to ease the traffic congestion, traffic signals were disabled, and drones were used for aerial monitoring and coordination. Home Minister V. Anitha admitted to the traffic snarls and assured that the police were doing their best to manage the situation and minimise disruptions. Two-day holidays for schools Meanwhile, District Collector M.N. Harendhira Prasad issued a release on Wednesday (June 18, 2025), announcing holidays to all schools on June 20 and 21 in view of the International Yoga Day celebrations.
