Two persons were killed in this district on Tuesday in a clash when two groups attacked each other with country bombs, in Lakshmipuram village under Vangara mandal.
The deceased were identified as P Sundar Rao and S Venkata Rao. Both died on the spot. 20 others were injured in the clash.
There are land disputes in the village since quite some time. As the entire police force was assigned to polling duties, villagers chose to attack each other in their absence. Though the clash occurred at around 8 am on Tuesday, police who were away doing poll-related duties, could not reach the village till 10-30 am. Police are trying to restore peace in the terror-stricken village. (NSS)
