Kurnool Shuts Down For Capital!

A day before the TDP government is set to make an announcement on the AP new capital, the demand to make Kurnool as capital has intensified, and a bandh was observed in Kurnool on Wednesday.

Blaming the TDP for its plan to favour pro-TDP landlords lobby, several student organisations called for a bandh in Kurnool. Several business establishments voluntarily participated in the bandh and most of the schools remained closed.

The student organisations reminded that Kurnool was the capital of the earlier Andhra state and recalled the Sri Bagh pact between Andhra and Rayalaseema leaders in the pre-Independence days. They took out a rally demanding making Kurnool as capital of AP. 

Meanwhile, the lawyers from Anantapur district demanded the government to set up High Court in their (Rayalaseema) region.
