The Jagan Mohan Reddy government of Andhra Pradesh has detained the leaders of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). The TDP leaders were visiting the sand dunes to protest against the alleged Rs 40,000 crore sand scam during the last four years of the YSR Congress.

TDP leaders demanded the sealing of the sand mining area in Amaravati. During this, when the police stopped them, TDP leaders and workers sat on the road in protest.
