Tension grips Kuppam over alleged destruction of Anna Canteen

The destruction of the Anna canteen in Kuppam of Chittoor district once again created a stir. It is alleged that on Monday night at 11 o'clock, unknown persons attacked and destroyed the arrangements and flexi set up at the bus stand. After receiving this information, TDP workers reached there and protested.

However, the municipal authorities clarified that the temporary tent set up at the bus stand for Anna Canteen was collapsed due to heavy rain and it was removed as it has become a problem for RTC passengers.

It is known that the Anna canteens were destructed during Chandrababu's visit last week, which caused a stir. TDP National General Secretary Nara Lokesh condemned the alleged late-night attack and opined that the canteen has been operating near the Kuppam RTC bus stand centre for 86 days.

On the other hand, TDP National General Secretary Nara Lokesh will visit the Chittoor district today. Lokesh will reach Renigunta Airport in the afternoon and from there he will leave by road and go to Chittoor Sub Jail to meet leaders and activists, including former MLC Gounivari Srinivas, who was arrested during Chandrababu's visit to Kuppam.
