Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Orders Non-Bailable Case Against YSRCP Leader for Road Destruction

Amaravati, October 19 (Daily Kiran) : Andhra Pradesh‘s Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has taken decisive action against a YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader for allegedly destroying a road built under the ‘Palle Panduga’ scheme. The incident, which occurred between the villages of Ananthasagaram and Papakkagari Pale in Tirupati district, prompted Kalyan to issue orders for a non-bailable case against those involved.

The Chief Minister expressed concern over the damage to the road, which was constructed just a week prior at a cost of ₹4.75 crore as part of the ‘Palle Panduga 3.0’ initiative. This program is the third phase of the state government’s efforts focused on rural development. Kalyan instructed engineering officials to take stringent legal measures against YSRCP leader Subba Reddy, who is accused of vandalizing government property.

Officials reported that an FIR was filed based on information from local residents, alleging that Subba Reddy, with the help of another individual named Venkatasubba Reddy, used a tractor to plow a 100-meter section of the road. Kalyan emphasized that destroying government assets, built for public benefit, is a serious offense. He ordered that those responsible be identified and brought to justice.

In a review meeting with senior engineering officials from the Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Department, Kalyan also directed them to implement the Revenue Recovery Act against the perpetrators and ensure restitution for the damage caused. He stated that such malevolent acts against public infrastructure must not go unpunished and that the identities of those involved should be made public.

The authorities plan to arrest the accused by this evening and present them before a magistrate. Kalyan’s firm stance underscores the government’s commitment to protecting public assets and holding accountable those who undermine community resources.
