The issue started over the reconstruction of a Ramalayam in Pedapeta village of Akiveedu mandal. Petitioners claimed the temple was being built on government land. They also questioned the permissions given for construction.

Earlier, the Andhra Pradesh High Court rejected petitions against the project. It said records showed a Ramalayam existed at the site for many years. Officials also approved the work after checking documents and reports.

The Supreme Court has now paused all construction work. It has ordered status quo until the case is heard fully.

The final decision will come after the next hearing. All parties are now waiting for the court’s ruling.

Beckham began his day by joining a project-based learning (PBL) session, where students demonstrated analytical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. He interacted warmly with children, patiently listening as they explained their projects in Mathematics, Science, and other subjects. A mini-exhibition set up by the students showcased their creativity, which visibly impressed the football icon.

A video from the visit showed Beckham strolling through classrooms, laughing with students, and later — stepping onto the school ground for a casual football session with young girls, drawing loud cheers with every pass.

The interaction extended beyond academics. Beckham participated in a tree-planting activity, learning how each sapling is tagged with a digital ID to track its growth. He also joined a reading cycle in the library, discussing books and dreams with enthusiastic children.

Calling it a “really, really good day,” Beckham praised the students’ confidence, energy, and curiosity. This marks his second India visit after his 2023 UNICEF engagement.
