Tension in disputed Kotia village ahead of Andhra Pradesh local body polls |

Описание: Tension prevailed in the disputed Kotia village cluster along the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha border ahead of Andhra Pradesh local body elections. Hundreds of Odisha police personnel, public representatives, and officials gathered in Nerellavalasa village and raised “Andhra Go Back” slogans, attempting to block Andhra officials and police. Kotia residents responded with counter-slogans, saying they would participate in Andhra Pradesh elections and wanted to remain with Andhra. They also blocked the Koraput Sub-Collector and Odisha officials. The Koraput MLA asserted that Kotia belongs to Odisha and said the dispute is pending before the Supreme Court. Parvathipuram Manyam District ITDA PO Vaishali called for coordination between the two states to resolve the issue. She said a polling booth was being set up at Sarika village in Saluru mandal for Kotia voters.
