Visakhapatnam: Tension prevailed at the circuit house here on Tuesday after nearly 200 agitators from Vizianagaram's Bhogapuram mandal gathered to protest against the proposed greenfield international airport at Bhogapuram. They also stopped state housing minister Kimidi Mrunalini's car, raising slogans against the state government.
The protesters reached the circuit house after getting information that state HRD minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao and minister Kimidi Mrunalini were scheduled to hold a review meet there on the Bhogapuram airport issue. They demanded that Mrunalini conduct the review meeting at Vizianagaram and not Visakhapatnam.
Although the police personnel on duty requested the agitators to vacate the place, they continued their protest leading to heated arguments. Finally, the ministers agreed to meet the protesters, who submitted a representation to them.
