In Andhra Pradesh, work in government offices across the Telengana region was disrupted following employees indefinite strike on the statehood issue Tuesday.

Employees boycotted work and held protest demonstrations at several places in Hyderabad and other places in the region. The coal production in Singareni colleries in Khammam, Warangal and Karimnagar were also disrupted due to the strike. The advocates also boycotted courts at several places.
