Overnight, the Chinar Corps repaired two bridges located near Brarimarg on the Baltal Axis -- both bridges were damaged due to landslides -- and cleared the route for the pilgrims.

The Chinar Corps have been assisting the civil administration in ensuring the security and smooth conduct of the Amarnath Yatra.

MLA's unique protest
Location: Nellore

When a drain overflowed at Umma Reddy Gunta in Nellore, YSR Congress MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy decided to do something about it.

He requested the officials several times to clean it to no avail.

So he sat next to the drain and dipped his feet in the filthy water.

He demanded that the officials commit, in writing, a time frame within which the work would be completed.

If the drain was not cleaned, Reddy said he would protest again.

During this unique carnival, almost 40 shikaras were knotted to each other which made for a wonderful spectacle.

The credit, Shila Rani says, should go to her daughters.
