Violence erupted in Tirupati where a State Road Transport Corporation bus was torched, along with several other vehicles, as part of the token bandh being observed today, in response to a call by Pratyeka Hoda Sadhana Samithi, headed by Chalasani Srinivas.
Though the bandh was by and large peaceful, it affected normal life in Vizag, Vijayawada and Tirupati. Even Left parties are supporting the bandh, protesting against Centre's attitude in not keeping its promise of granting special category status to Andhra Pradesh (AP.)
