Normal life was thrown out of gear in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions of Andhra Pradesh due to a bandh called against the Centre's move to table the Telangana Bill in Parliament today.

The TDP, YSRCP activists and other united Andhra supporters held rallies at several places in the two regions against the state's division.

They squatted in front of the bus stations and prevented the buses from plying on the roads.
