Objection raised by a TDP supporter against a woman fetching water from a tap in Samanthapuram village led to stopping of a vehicle carrying milk by Congress supporters. This triggered off arguments as well as stone pelting by members of both groups, until a police patrol rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control.
