Protesting the decision of Congress Party for bifurcation of the State, bandh is being observed today in Tirupati town

Autos and Taxis were stopped by NGOs at Tirupati.  The few buses that were plying between Tirupati and Tirumala also were stopped by protesters.  Even private buses are not allowed to pass Alipiri to climb Tirumala hills. 

Yesterday also the pilgrims faced hardships because of the inadequate bus service between Alipiri and Tirumala.  Today the transport service is totally stopped.  The supporters of Samaikyandhra are coming to the roads and exhibiting their hostility towards ruling party’s decision.
