Bad roads: CPI stages novel protest

TIRUPATI: The Communist Party of India has on Saturday chosen a novel method to symbolically say how bad the roads in Tirupati are even before the onset of monsoon.

They were particularly critical about numerous pot-holes and deep trenches on the main roads.

As though to symbolically state that the marshy roads with huge ‘craters’ all along were good enough for sowing paddy, they did exactly that.
