Hyderabad: In a demand for a separate state of Telangana, normal life remained paralysed in this region of Andhra Pradesh on Monday for the second successive day. The shutdown was called by the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS).
The state-owned Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) remained off the roads for the second day while road blockades by the protestors affected vehicular movement on the highways.
All educational institutions, shops, business establishments, cinema theatres and petrol bunks remained closed in Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana, causing severe inconvenience to the public.
Hyderabad and nine other districts of the region continued to be tense as TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao’s fast-unto-death entered the ninth day.
