BC Bandh brings Telangana to a halt, bus services disrupted

Bus operations came to a standstill in Hyderabad and across the State on Saturday as the BC Bandh called by the BC Ikya Vedika demanding a fair share in reservations for Backward Classes (BCs) brought normal life to a halt.

Except for essential services, most sectors remained shut in support of the bandh.

In Hyderabad, TGSRTC buses were confined to depots with protesters



blocking them from coming out of bus depots at Uppal and Chengicherla. Similar disruptions were reported from the united Warangal, Mahbubnagar, Nizamabad, and Vikarabad districts, where BC associations and supporters staged demonstrations at RTC depots.

BRS leader Srinivas Goud joined the protest in Mahabubnagar.

Bus services are likely to resume around afternoon.
