Hyderabad:
The Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) Monday declared that it
would go ahead with its million march to Hyderabad March 10 to
press the demand for separate statehood to Telangana while police
have imposed ban orders and warned action against violators.
JAC convenor M. Kodandaram told reporters after a meeting of the
steering committee that the march would begin in the afternoon
instead of morning so that students appearing for intermediate
examinations on that day face no hurdles.
JAC, comprising Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) and other groups fighting for a separate state, met
here Monday to discuss any possible postponement of the march in
view of the appeals made by parents of the students appearing for
examinations.
The meeting decided to go ahead with the planned march but changed
its timings to enable students of Class 11 and 12 standards to
reach the examinations centres in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy
districts.
The million march will be held at Tank Bund on the banks of
Hussain Sagar Lake, which divides the twin cities of Hyderabad and
Secunderabad.
Planned on the lines of protest at Tehrir Square in Cairo, the
march will demand that the central government introduce a bill in
parliament for carving out a separate Telangana state.
JAC convenor Kodandaram said people from two to three points will
come in a procession to Tank Bund and stage a sit-in there. "There
will be no speeches but artistes will sing and dance to highlight
the demand for a separate state," he said.
However, Kodandaram admitted that the march would not be on the
scale on which it was originally planned. The JAC had earlier
planned to bring the city to halt by blocking all the roads.
"There will be more protests on a much larger scale," he said.
The march is expected to further intensify the movement for
separate statehood to Telangana, which comprises 10 districts
including Hyderabad.
Meanwhile, police made it clear that the march had no permission.
Police commissioners of Hyderabad and Cyberabad Monday announced
prohibitory orders to prevent any gathering.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner A.K. Khan said there was no
permission to hold rallies, meetings and processions in the twin
cities. He warned that police would deal firmly with those
violating ban orders.
Prohibitory orders banning the assembly of four or more people
have also been imposed in Cyberabad police commissionerate, which
covers outskirts of the city including the IT hub.
Cyberabad Police Commissioner Tirumala Rao said the police would
prevent people from gathering. He urged the protesters not to
disturb the IT sector.
