Amaravati, Jan 23 (TIWN) The Andhra Pradesh government has challenged the High Court's green signal to conduct rural local bodies elections through a special leave petition in the Supreme Court.
In its petition on Thursday, the government said that it amounts to risking employees’ lives amid the coronavirus pandemic to go to elections at a time when the Covid vaccination drive was being held.
