Clash Over Tree Felling in Anakapalli

In a village in Anakapalli district, workers from two political parties, Telugu Desam and Jana Sena, had a big fight.

The fight was about cutting down acacia trees on government land.

The trees were planted 15 years ago as part of a forestry project.

The Forest department allowed the local village council to cut and sell the trees to use the money for development.

The Jana Sena leader started cutting the trees, but the Telugu Desam leader said it should be done through a public auction to be fair.

This argument turned into a physical fight, and four people got hurt.

The police had to step in to stop the fight and set up a guard to prevent more trouble.

The injured people were taken to the hospital for treatment.
