**BHIMAVARAM, INDIA – July 6, 2025** – A father of two in Bhimavaram, West Godavari district, staged a dramatic protest on Saturday, climbing an electrical tower in the Menedtivani Thota area due to concerns about the delayed disbursement of financial aid under the ‘Thalliki Vandanam’ scheme.

Police have directed Mr. Shyam to contact the relevant government officials or the office of the local MLA to inquire about the status of his application and the disbursement of funds. The ‘Thalliki Vandanam’ scheme is a financial aid program aimed at supporting mothers.
