The bandh called by the Opposition Telugu Desam Party(TDP), to condemn the attack on the party offices and senior TDP leader K. Pattabhiram’s house reportedly by the YSRCP cadres, was foiled by the police all over Chittoor district.
Right from Tuesday night, the police department had deployed personnel in all sensitive areas, and posted action teams at all important junctions and crossroads. In Kuppam, the constituency represented by TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu, the bandh effect remained nil.
In Chittoor, TDP MLC B.N. Rajasimhulu and party’s State general secretary V. Surendra Kumar were kept under house-arrest in the early hours of Wednesday, when they tried to organise a protest rally to the Gandhi Bomma Centre.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
