Hyderabad, 6 August
Agitating against the decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh, Samaikyandhra supporters today continued with their week-long protest across coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions.
Protesters belonging to different organisations supporting a united Andhra Pradesh took out huge rallies and resorted to road blockades at several places as the protests entered the seventh day today.
Seemandhra employees boycotted duties and took out a rally in the Secretariat premises here to protest the decision for creation of a Telangana state.
The protesters, under the aegis of Secretariat Seemandhra Employees Forum, raised slogans like ‘Hyderabad belongs to all’ and ‘we want justice’.
In Anantapur, agitators stopped a passenger train at the railway station there.
“The protests are continuing today also, however, in a peaceful manner.”
“No one has been taken into custody,” Anantapur Superintendent of Police, Mr S Shyam Sunder told PTI.
In Kurnool and Nellore districts, the protesters cooked food on the roads besides taking out massive rallies and blocking the roads.
