VHP and Shiv Sena activists picketed the Kurnool bus stand and obstructed movement of Srisailam-bound buses on Thursday demanding withdrawal of the 50 per cent additional fare being collected for buses being plied to Srisailam for Maha Sivaratri. VHP State president Nandireddy Sai Reddy and Shiv Seva district president V. Pratap Reddy alleged that additional fares were being charged in services being plied to Hindu pilgrim centres. The same rule was not being applied when it came to festivals of other faiths, they said.
