The
Left parties have called for a statewide bandh today to mark a protest
against the increase of surcharges. The bandh reportedly evoked low
response especially in twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Buses
in the city were plying normally and all commercial establishments
rolled up their shutters as usually.
Despite
many leaders appealing to Left parties for withdrawing their bandh
calls, Left leaders are going ahead with the bandhs. In fact, the
leaders hit the roads in the early hours of Tuesday and tried to
obstruct the traffic. In fact, CPI state secretary Narayana and CPM
state secretary Raghavulu were arrested by the police at MG bus station
in Hyderabad. The leaders, when they were arrested, told the media that
they would continue to fight until the government roll backs its prices.
