With the Election Commission announcing that the polls in Andhra Pradesh will be held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha polls on 11 April, the political temperatures seem to be on the rise in the state. The counting of votes, for all the 175 Assembly constituencies in the state, will take place on 23 May. The elections in Visakhapatnam are once again set to play a key role in deciding the outcome. And given that the polls are just about a month away now, the district officials have their task cut out.

Addressing the media on Sunday, District Collector Katamneni Bhaskar and Commissioner of Police Mahesh Chandra Laddha said that the officials have geared up to hold the upcoming polls peacefully in the district.
