Sharmila to begin Padayatra in Guntur Dt from 23

Hyderabad, Feb 22, 2013: Smt. Y.S.Sharmila will resume her Maro Praja Prasthanam Padayatra from Feb 23, Saturday.

Smt. Sharmila has taken a 2-day break from her Padayatra due to an election code being in force in Guntur district. She was scheduled to enter Guntur district today by crossing the Vadapally Bridge which connects Nalgonda and Guntur districts.

She has however decided not to resume the Padayatra today in view of the bomb blasts in Hyderabad in which 17 persons were killed and more than 100 persons injured.

Smt. Sharmila will begin her Padayatra after entering the Guntur district Saturday morning, according to Talasila Rahgu Ram, Padayatra coordinator.

Condemning the bomb blasts, she asked the Government to take stringent measures to prevent recurrence of such incidents and punish the culprits.
