Protests were held at various places in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana today as a part of the nation-wide strike against the Centre's proposed Motor Bill.
The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) buses plied almost normally in Hyderabad, but auto drivers and truckers extended support to the stir.
Transporters, affiliated to various left-backed unions, held protests at various places in the two states. A protest march was taken out from Baghlingamplly to Indira Park here.
Protests were also held in Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Tirupati, Kadapa and other places in Andhra Pradesh.
Normal life was impacted today in several parts of the country, including the national capital, as employees of state transport corporations and some private operators went on a 24-hour strike against the proposed Motor Bill, ignoring the Centre's appeal to call it off.
