Activists of the CPI (M), the CPI, the Congress and various other constituent organisations of the JAC staged a road blockade in the temple town of Bhadrachalam on Friday demanding retransfer of five gram panchayats, which were merged with Andhra Pradesh following bifurcation in 2014. Mild tension prevailed at the bridge centre in the temple town when the police whisked away the protesters from the busy centre. Two women cadres of the CPI (M) reportedly fell on the main road in the melee and suffered bruises, sources said.
The activists of the Left parties and the main Opposition Congress among other organisations of the JAC also laid siege to the outskirts of the temple town along the inter-State border with Andhra Pradesh to press for their demand.
