(MENAFN- The Peninsula) TRS and TDP workers clashed in Nalgonda district yesterday as the row over sharing of water and electricity between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh took a violent turn.
Tension prevailed in Nalgonda district as police arrested top leaders of opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) during a shutdown called by them to protest the burning down of their party office by workers of ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).
TRS workers yesterday attacked cars of TDP leaders at Chityal. Window panes of the vehicles were damaged in the attack.
Trouble broke out when police prevented several TDP leaders including L. Ramana, E. Dayakar Rao and M Narasimhulu as they were going around in the district along with their supporters. Condemning the police attitude, they staged a protest on the highway. The TRS supporters launched a counter sit-in, leading to a clash.
Police arrested TDP leaders and shifted them to a police station. Another key leader Revant Reddy was arrested in Ranga Reddy district when he was on his way to Nalgonda.
The TRS activists had on Tuesday set afire the TDP office in Nalgonda to protest what they call attempts by TDP government in Andhra Pradesh to stall electricity generation by Telangana at Srisailam and Nagarjuna Sagar across Krishna river.
