Tension flares up as police lathi-charge protesters during eviction drive Post News Network
Berhampur: Tension prevailed as police lathi-charged on the protesters during an eviction drive in areas under Ward No. 18 of Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BeMC) in the Silk City, Tuesday.
The eviction drive was carried out at Phulasundari Sahi, Kapileshwar Road and on encroachments that had come up near a pond under Ward No. 18.
The BeMC officials had a harried time in carrying out the demolition drive as irate residents staged demonstrations protesting against the eviction drive.
Tension flared up as locals alleged that the BeMC authorities had given them very little time to relocate. The civic authorities arrived suddenly in the morning without issuing any notice and carried out the eviction drive, they said.

Vaccination at doorstep vehicle is ready to roll out in Berhampur
BERHAMPUR: After launching doorstep collection of swab samples, the Ganjam district administration is now planning to roll out ’vaccination on wheels’ to inoculate people at their doorstep, particularly the elderly and physically challenged who are unable to visit the vaccination centres.
“We are working out an initiative with the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BeMC) and very soon this will be launched in BeMC areas, most probably on Monday,” said Ganjam district collector Vijay Amruta Kulange. The vehicle for the purpose is already ready, he added. “The aim is to extend the vaccination programme and to cater primarily to those who are unable to reach the centres for different reasons. Moreover, this will help to maintain social distancing. We want to make Berhampur a fully vaccinated city,” Kulange said.
