State crawling back to normalcy

Hyderabad, Sept 5 :

 After  two days of mourning due to the sudden death of Chief Minister Rajasekhara Reddy,  the towns in Andhra Pradesh are  limping back to normalcy. On Saturday schools, colleges, banks, shops and business establishments started functioning. City  buses  of  Apsrtc  were back on the roads  operating in their regular routes along with  the autos and taxis .

With the reports reaching  that over 100 people have died across the state  since Thursday the  normal life in the state is slowly limping back to normalcy.

In the native  town of the CM,  Pulivendala  a  special prayer  meeting was held on Saturday  to condole the  death of  YSR. The Congress party leaders and activists  are  holding  condolence meetings at various  places in the state  to express their sorrow and  grief. Despite the routine life returning to normalcy, the mood of the people in the rural parts of  Andhra Pradesh remained sombre amid a seven-day state mourning.
People in the  rural areas who  have been beneficiaries of YSR’s  schemes still can’t  digest  his tragic death.

Meanwhile  cyclonic rains in the  last  couple of days in some  parts of the state continued to disrupt the vehicular traffic with drainage water flowing on to the roads. In the twin cities of  Hyderabad and Secunderabad  though the water has receded in most places but the roads are in a very bad shape causing a lot of inconvenience  to the  traffic.
