Tension at council meeting after VMC rejects water pipeline project
Vijayawada: Tensions flared at the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) general council meeting on Tuesday after the council body turned down a proposal to supply drinking water through underground pipelines to nearly 2,500 residents across 485 households in the JAMAC housing complex, located within the APIIC Industrial Area Local Authority (IALA) at Jawahar Autonagar in Ward 11 of the Vijayawada East constituency. The uproar was sparked by opposition TDP corporators, who accused the council of dismissing the proposal without any deliberation. The plan aimed to ensure clean drinking water access to JAMAC residents. A chaotic scene unfolded as TDP members shouted anti-YSRCP slogans, decrying what they called a unilateral decision. In a dramatic turn, council floor leader Venkata Satyanarayana recommended suspending TDP corporators Mummineni Prasad and Chennupati Usha Rani under Rule 89 for using party slogans.
