Pro-Telangana protest on March 10
HYDERABAD: Tomorrow Pro-Telangana groups will try to stop trains from running all over the region.
It is to pressurize the government to agree to a separate Telangana state with their protest named, ‘Palle Palle Pattala Paiki’.
Kodandaram of the Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC ) said, “We have also asked people who live in the villages all along the railway tracks to come on to the track and sit there. We have asked them to bring their cattle and bullock carts and also cook and eat on the track itself. For all practical purposes, instead of living in their homes, they live on the tracks for a day.”
The police have issued a statement explaining that it’s gearing up for tomorrow’s protests. They’ve also cautioned protestors.
“Information and past experience show that there is likelihood of sabotage to railway track by removal of fish plates and by tampering or destroying signal equipment. These can result in serious accidents causing great loss to human life,” the release added.
The Pro-Telangana groups have also called for a “march of millions” to Hyderabad on 10th March.
