In an intriguing event which made the public gasp with curiosity, raising countless questions, a mysterious wooden box washed ashore opposite the YMCA on RK Beach Road in Vizag. This scene, which occurred last night, attracted huge crowds rushing towards the unidentified item. As a result, the police swung into action to restrict the public from coming close to what is believed to be a 100-year-old box.
