VIJAYAWADA: A property owner allegedly attacked Vijayawada Municipal Corporation’s town planning staff and a woman ward secretary on Friday morning for questioning him over illegal construction on the former’s land.
The incident took place around 8:30 am at Kodanda Ramalayam Street, Krishna Lanka. A 3-minute-long video in circulation on social media showed the owner prevented the VMC team from carrying out a ground-level inspection of his building. Heated arguments were exchanged between them. Losing his temper, the man tried to attack the town planning staff with an iron rod.
