Ongole: The YSR Congress Party Prakasam district unit occupied the rail tracks at Ongole Railway Station on Wednesday as part of the agitation for Special Category Status for Andhra Pradesh.
The YSRCP Ongole parliament constituency president Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, Santanutalapadu MLA Adimulapu Suresh Reddy, Giddalur assembly constituency in charge IV Reddy, Kondepi assembly constituency in charge Varikuti Ashok Babu and hundreds of the party workers reached Ongole railway station and occupied the railway tracks at Platform Nos 1, 2 and 3 from 10.15 AM to 10.50AM. They stopped the 07607 Nanded to Tirupati Special Train from 10.20 AM to 10.44 AM on platform No 3.
They were countered by the Railway Protection Force and Civil Police and the authorities sent out the agitators from the railway station. However, there is a strong tussle between Varikuti Ashok Reddy and the police officials, which went from verbal argument to physical man handling in the heat of exchange of words.
The police arrested Ashok Babu and allowed all others to leave the place after booking a case for obstructing the train movement.
