Telangana erupts in joy, bandh in Seemandhra

TRS chief K. Chandrasekhara Rao and other top leaders of TRS, the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party camping in Delhi for last two weeks, celebrated the passage of the bill with their supporters.

Telangana state will comprise 10 districts - Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Medak, Nalgonda, Mahabubnagar, Karimnagar, Warangal, Khammam, Nizamabad and Adilabad. It will have about 3.5 crore population.  

Hyderabad, the capital of existing Andhra Pradesh, will be a common capital of both the states for 10 years.  

The residuary state of Andhra Pradesh comprising Seemandhra will have 13 districts and a population of over 5 crore.  

But, it was gloom in Seemandhra. People in some places staged protests and blamed their leaders for failing to stall division.
