Protests against the decision to divide Andhra Pradesh rocked Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions for the second day on Thursday with united Andhra supporters taking out rallies and preventing public transport buses from plying. Protests were reported in the districts of Krishna, East Godavari, Visakhapatnam, Kadapa and Anantapur.
While the hunger strike launched by students in Visakhaptnam at Andhra University entered the third day today, lawyers refrained from attending courts today also as a part of their 72-hour boycott in Visakhapatnam and other districts as well. Some pro-united Andhra outfits have been observing a 72-hour shut down at places like Visakhapatnam.
Government-run RTC sources said they were operating in the city and long route bus services since morning and there was no damage to the vehicles in the district since Wednesday. According to police, the situation was peaceful and no untoward incidents were reported so far on Thursday. Educational institutions and commercial establishments remained shut at several places.
