Normal life was affected in parts of Andhra Pradesh on Monday due to a shutdown called by the main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to protest the arrest of its chief N Chandrababu Naidu in Maharashtra.
The strike evoked mixed response in the state capital and 22 other districts. State-owned Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) had to partially suspend bus services in Hyderabad and other towns following protests by TDP activists.
Educational institutions, shops and business establishments were closed in parts of Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Kakinada, Tirupati and Guntur. Dozens of TDP activists were arrested for staging road blockades and for forcing closure of shops in different districts.
TDP workers staged a sit-in outside the APSRTC depots in Hyderabad and elsewhere to stop buses from plying.
The shutdown, however, had little impact in some areas as normal traffic was on the roads while markets also opened. The firms in IT district Cyberabad too were working as usual. |

Don't post rude or nasty comments. Ethnic slurs, personal insults and abuses are rather uncool. Criticise, but know where to draw the line. No point putting in personal details or links, we won't publish them.
