In Andhra Pradesh, normal life was paralysed across Telangana as the 48-hour bandh called by TRS and other parties to protest the Centre's latest statement on Telangana issue began. The Centre had yesterday said there is a need to hold wide ranging consultations with all the political parties and groups in Andhra Pradesh on the issue as the situation in the state has altered since the announcement on the creation of a separate Telegana state. Students and other Telangana supporters came out on the streets and resorted to stone pelting on buses and shops in Hyderabad and other Telangana districts. Violence broke out in Hyderabad, Warangal and other places in the region as police resorted to baton-charge to disperse protesters. 120 people were arrested. In the state capital, Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) suspended services in the city and other Telangana districts. A large number of commuters were stranded in Hyderabad as the city buses run by APSRTC remained off the roads. Meanwhile, following the resignation of Telangana Rashtra Samiti President K Chandrasekhar Rao, eight of the party's MLAs have put in their papers. Rao, who is a Lok Sabha member from Mahabubnagar, sent his resignation letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker late last night while the party's eight MLAs have also quit their posts.
