MUMBAI: A unit of global drug maker GlaxoSmithKline temporarily halted operations in India's Andhra Pradesh state on Friday as the fallout from a government plan to carve up the southern state mounted.
India's Congress-led government approved a plan on Thursday to create a new state called Telangana out of Andhra Pradesh, home to high-tech Hyderabad city, after more than a week of violent protests and a hunger strike by a leading politician.
