A report from Visakhapatnam said the Seemandhra bandh called by the YSRCP and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) against the bill has generated a partial response today.
Except long route bus services of APSRTC, the other transport vehicles like auto rickshaws and private vehicles were plying as usual.
“We have stopped the long route services and were plying city services. If any trouble breaks out then they will also stop the city services,” RTC sources said.
Supporters of political parties like TDP, Congress and YSRCP staged dharnas in front of bus depots at Maddilapalem junction protesting against the bifurcation.
Police have tightened security at all the vulnerable points to maintain law and order.
