Samikyandhra Joint Action Committee (JAC) has called for a 48-hour shutdown in Seemandhra to protest the central cabinet's decision to bifurcate the state. The Union cabinet Thursday approved the formation of a separate Telangana state.
More than six lakh government employees and teachers are on strike for nearly two months to protest the bifurcation. Buses of state-owned Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) are also off the roads since Aug 13.
