KARIMNAGAR, SEPT. 8. After 24 hours' ordeal of house arrest, the Tadicherla Mandal Parishad President(MPP), D. Sulochana, and the Ansanpalli village sarpanch, G. Raji Reddy, were set free by villagers of Mallampally of Tacherla mandal on Wednesday morning following an assurance by the APTransco authorities for providing power supply immediately.

The Manthani legislator, D. Sridhar, consulted the villagers on the cellphone on Tuesday night and assured them of solving their demand of providing power supply.
