Hyderabad: Amid
growing demands for carving a separate Telangana state out of
Andhra Pradesh, some staff of a senior police officer in Medak
district Thursday joined the on-going non-cooperation movement
against the state government.
Employees of the office of the Medak district police
superintendent joined the Telangana movement and demanded a bill
in parliament for the formation of a separate Telangana state.
Leaders of the Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) staged a
sit-in outside the police superintendent's office following
reports that he warned employees against joining the movement.
Andhra Pradesh Police chief Aravinda Rao, however, denied that any
police have joined the movement.
He told reporters in Hyderabad that only office staff from the
Medak SP's office were participating in the on-going
non-cooperation movement in the Telangana region. He clarified
that the protesting employees were not policemen.
The development came amid reports that policemen in Warangal and
other districts were contemplating to join the separate Telangana
agitation. They held meetings during last week to discuss their
support to the Telangana movement.
Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) legislator K. Tarakarama Rao
appealed to policemen to join other government employees
participating in the movement. He told reporters that the
policemen in other districts should emulate their counterparts in
Medak.
About 300,000 government employees in the Telangana region,
comprising 10 districts, including Hyderabad, are participating in
the non-cooperation movement which began Feb 17.
The employees are not working beyond office hours and those in the
revenue collection departments are not collecting revenues from
Telangana people, causing huge losses to the state exchequer.
The JAC has appealed to people in the region not to buy tickets
for travelling in buses of the state-owned Road Transport
Corporation and not to pay taxes and bills for utility services.
