Andhra Pradesh: Field Assistant Hacked to Death
�Anantapur: A field assistant of DWAMA was hacked to death by rivals following a dispute over the post in Arikeri village, Alur mandal, Kurnool district, on Friday. Bandri Eeranna, a resident of the same village, had been serving as the field assistant despite an ongoing conflict between two groups over the position in recent days. As tensions peaked, rivals allegedly planned to eliminate Eeranna. They ambushed him on the outskirts of the village while he was on a field visit to oversee NREGA programme activities. The assailants attacked him with hunting sickles after causing him to fall from his motorcycle. Eeranna sustained multiple severe injuries and died on the spot. The culprits fled the scene immediately after the attack. Adoni police rushed to the location, registered a case based on a complaint filed by Eeranna’s family members, and launched a search for the culprits. To prevent further clashes, a police picket was deployed in the village. The body of Eeranna was sent to the Adoni government hospital for a postmortem.
