Tension prevailed in Gudurupadu village in Khammam rural mandal on Friday, a day after a clash between CPI sympathisers and TRS supporters claimed the life of a villager.
However, the situation remained under control as prohibitory orders were enforced.
It may be noted that a clash between two “rival groups” during the Telangana Formation Day celebrations in the village left TRS supporter Satti Sangaiah, 60, dead and eight others injured on Thursday.
