Transport
between Maharashtra and AP was hit with the closure of Boraj
inter-state checkpost located on the district border on Wednesday
because of the Sakalajanula Samme.
Road traffic came to a
grinding halt on either side of the border since Tuesday morning with
employees of forest, RTA, commercial tax and sales tax departments
taking part in the strike. Thousands of vehicles were stranded for about
7 km stretch on national highway-44 in the district.
Sensing
trouble, police entered the scene and cleared the traffic flow in the
afternoon. Enraged over the police move, Telangana JAC leaders led by
local MLA Jogu Ramanna went to the interstate checkpost to prevent
police from regulating the traffic movement. The Telangana protagonists
travelled on NH-44 without paying tax at various toll gates in the
district.
