City boils over 'T'

City boils over 'T' - Sakshi Post

 


Tension prevailed in Hyderabad on Sunday as Telangana JAC seemed determined to defy the police ban to launch 36-hour protest seeking separate state of Telangana.

Police have sealed all routes leading to Indira Park in the heart of the city, where Joint Action Committee (JAC) will be launching their protest later in the day despite police refusing permission for the same.
Police erected barricades and barbed wires on roads surrounding the park to prevent protesters from gathering there.
Policemen and paramilitary forces were deployed in large numbers to stop the protest.
Vehicles are also being checked at the entry points into the city to prevent protesters coming from reaching the city from various parts of Telangana.
JAC, which comprises various parties fighting for Telangana state, has called the protest 'samara deeksha' to demand the centre to make an announcement on Telangana issue by Monday as promised by home minister Sushilkumar Shinde last month.
JAC convenor M Kodandaram said JAC leaders would reach the park in a rally for the peaceful protest.
Legislators of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) will also reach the protest venue from assembly.
JAC alleged that their leaders were either arrested or kept under house arrest in Telangana districts.
Police arrested the activists of TRS and other parties in Warangal, Nizamabad, Medak, Karimnagar, Adilabad and other districts when they were heading for Hyderabad.
There is also tension at Osmania University (OU) in Hyderabad where students plan to take out a rally and lay siege to Raj Bhavan to demand Governor E S L Narasimhan's resignation.
Police sealed the main gate at OU campus to prevent students from coming out.
