Andhra Pradesh - Rajahmundry   

200 CPI workers held

Rajahmundry: The police arrested 200 CPI workers on Saturday when they tried to encroach assigned land in Jhansilakshmi Bai Nagar of Bommuru in Rajahmundry rural mandal.

CPI workers went to the place early in the morning under the leadership of Meesala Satyanarayana and Ketha Apparao and tried to set up huts in the vacant land.

Rural CI L. Ankaiah with his force arrested the leaders and took them to the Bommuru police station.
