Normal life was disrupted in Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions on Wednesday as a shutdown began in the two regions against the decision of the Congress and the UPA to create Telangana state out of Andhra Pradesh.
Educational institutions, commercial establishments remained closed and the services of state-run Andhra Pradesh Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) were suspended in Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra districts such as Kadapa, Chittoor, Visakhapatnam and Krishna.
Different outfits supporting united Andhra have called for a shutdown in the region against the decision of Congress to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh.
The supporters of united Andhra took out rallies and planned to organise other forms of protest during the day in the districts.
The protesters squatted on the roads and prevented the RTC buses from plying at different places.
The APSRTC has suspended its services at some places as a precautionary measure.
However, no major incident of violence was reported from the two regions till the morning hours, though the announcement by Congress met with disappointment across the two regions.
In addition to the state police, central paramilitary forces have been deployed in large numbers in the Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra districts to ensure law and order is maintained, also in view of the panchayat polls.
