Tirupati: The proposed padayatra of TDP leaders in Kuppam constituency demanding completion of Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi works to bring waters to Chittoor district led to tense situation on Monday. Amid YSRCP leaders statement to organise counter protests, police made it clear that no padayatra or rallies will be allowed as Covid norms and police act 30 were in vogue.

Police kept several TDP leaders in the western parts including former minister N Amarnath Reddy, MLC Gounivari Srinivasulu, Annesha Reddy, Sreenatha Reddy and others under house arrest in the morning itself not allowing them to go out. Police forces gathered in large numbers at their residences.
