No more Tamil Nadu buses in Andhra Pradesh

The war between TN and AP taking after the Seshachalam red sanders smugglers encounter by Andhra Pradesh Police is getting worse with each passing day. Already, the APSRTC had temporarily suspended its bus service between Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu after a few buses were damaged in the protests by Tamil politicians.

However, the Tamil Nadu buses have been handling without any interruption. This invited intense ire from the Telugu people living on the Andhra Pradesh – Tamil Nadu border who have been protesting against TN buses and even expressed that they won’t permit any Tamil Nadu buses through their villages. These protesting villagers are angry that while APSRTC has acquired a loss of 5 crores until now, the Tamil Nadu Road transport has been minting money, exploiting the commuters.

The protests are particularly rampant in the Varadayapalem village, where the villagers are even braving the police and are eagerly telling the police that violence may erupt if the Tamil Nadu buses are permitted to enter their village. The local police and RTC officials are now fearing of clashes between the neighboring AP and TN villages and are mulling over banning the Tamil Nadu buses.
