Tribal organizations organized a successful 'Manyam Bandh' in the agency areas demanding 100% reservation for tribals in teacher recruitment (GO-3 restoration) and strict implementation of the 1/70 Act. The shutdown was observed in Paderu, Araku Valley, and Chintapalli, supported by local YSRCP leaders. Shops, banks, and government offices remained closed, and public transport was partially affected. Tourism at Borra Caves and Araku Valley was hit as roads wore a deserted look. Minor scuffles occurred between police and protesters while trying to stop RTC buses.
