New Delhi/ Hyderabad: Cyclone Phailin seems to have devastated the month long bandh across Seemandhra region. The Andhra Pradesh government employees are meeting to decide their future course of action on Wednesday.
The life in troubled regions of Rayalaseema and Coastal Andhra Pradesh has almost returned to normalcy in the last three days after the striking employees called off their agitation and returned to work 24 hours before the Cyclone hit the east coast.
The employees of electricity department were the first to end strike to restore power supply across the region.
According to an analyst in Hyderabad, if the government employees don't resume strike, the anti-Telangana agitation will die a natural death in the next few weeks.
The anti-Telangana agitation led by the government employees plunged Seemandhra into darkness for weeks. The people were also forced either to join the agitation or stay at home. There was a total chaos everywhere.
Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, who is allegedly stoking the fire, was forced to hold talks with the striking employees to return to work to handle the Cyclone Phailin.
Talking to a Telugu news channel, a government employee said: "We are actually tired of this month long strike. We are not even getting salary. The government is not going to change the decision on Telangana, irrespective of what we do. Our protest serves no purpose. Hope, our leaders will allow us to resume work".
The government employees had been on an indefinite strike since the first week of August. It had intensified after the Union Cabinet cleared the Telangana note, two weeks ago.
