Former sarpanch Dasari Shankaraiah of Bibirajpalli in Jagtial died by suicide after failing to recover Rs.10 lakh borrowed for village development works. The bills remained unpaid for two years, and pressure from lenders drove him to the extreme step.
Police booked a contractor and seven others for locking a government school gate in Velganoor, Dandepalli mandal, disrupting academic activities for 300 students. The protest was staged over pending payments for dining hall construction. A case was registered under BNS sections.
