Women stage water stir
Hindupur/Dharmavaram, July 6: Alleging that municipal officials and people's representatives had failed to solve the water problem, women staged protests in Hindupur and Dharma-varam on Sunday. In Hindupur, women sta-ged a rasta roko on the Hindupur-Anantpaur main road with empty pots. The CPI councillor, Ms Asiya Banu, and the town CPI general secretary, Mr Suresh Babu, extended their support to the protest. Traffic came to a halt as the women organised the stir from 9 am to 11.30 am.
