Bandh was called in the state of Andhra Pradesh by the students and the Joint Action Committee (JAC) seeking immediate formation of the Telangana state after a student committed suicide for the cause.
The bandh started in the morning and the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) buses did not ply on the roads and following this schools, colleges and most of the business establishments were closed in Hyderabad, Medak, Nizamabad, Nalgonda and Karimnagar.
There was chaos at the Osmania University where the body of the student, Venugopal Reddy was kept and the police resorted to lathi charge. The students demanded that the ministers send their resignation and force the center to take a quick decision on the Telangana issue.
