Disclosing the details of the event to the media here on Thursday, Jana Sena leader Nadendla Manohar said Kavathu would be held from Gooty circle to Clock Tower in Anantapur (around 2.7 km) from 4 pm.
It will culminate with a public meeting at Clock Tower. Necessary permissions for the march and meeting were obtained, he added.
“There was an overwhelming response from the people to Kavathu held by Jana Sena on Dowleswaram Barrage on October 15.

Similarly, in Kavathu at Anantapur, the public problems will be highlighted and the shortcomings of the government will be exposed,” he said.
Manohar said Kalyan took up unique outreach programmes during his one-month tour of East Godavari district. “His approach to knowing people’s problems was different from others.
