The government of Andhra Pradesh is tightening the legal nexus around the former Kakinada City MLA, Dwarampudi Chandrashekar.
Recently, after conducting a review meeting at the Kakinada collectorate, Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar ordered an inquiry into Dwarampudi’s ration rice mafia.
Officials began investigating this illegal rice operation and seized eight godowns and 35 tonnes of ration rice belonging to Dwarampudi and his associates.
The estimated value of the seized ration rice is around Rs. 100 crores. Officers are continuing their raids on Dwarampudi’s other godowns.
Meanwhile, the Pollution Control Board issued notices to two seafood export factories of Veerabadhra Exports, belonging to the Dwarampudi family, after receiving complaints that these factories are emitting waste into seawater and farmlands, polluting the sea and damaging crops.
The Pollution Board asked the management to respond to the notices within 15 days.
In another case, municipal officers of Kakinada alleged that Dwarampudi obstructed them when they went to demolish one of his associates’ illegal constructions on July 2. A case was registered against Dwarampudi and 24 others in this incident.
Recently, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan visited Kakinada and conducted a review meeting. Since then, strict action has been taken against Dwarampudi and his illegal businesses.
By seizing his godowns and ration rice, issuing notices to his family’s export business, and filing a case against him for obstructing municipal officers on duty, the government is building a strong legal web against Dwarampudi Chandrashekar.
