Protests continue against AP bifurcation

Protests against the decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh continued in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions of the state on Sunday. Pro-united Andhra Pradesh supporters including scores of students and members of different organisations took to streets supporting the Samaikyandhra movement, which has been going on in 13 districts of Seemandhra region for over one month. As part of the Samaikyandhra agitation, protesters raised slogans in support of united Andhra Pradesh and took out massive rallies, formed human chains in Kurnool, Anantapur, East Godavari and other districts. Amidst attacks by suspected pro-Telangana elements, the AP Non-Gazetted Officers Association, which represents Seemandhra employees yesterday held ‘Save Andhra Pradesh’ meeting in Hyderabad, where speakers asked the Congress to rescind the move to bifurcate the state or face political consequences.
