Hyderabad: Braving
massive presence of police and paramilitary forces and violating
ban orders, thousands of people, demanding separate statehood to Telangana, reached Tank Bund in this Andhra Pradesh capital for
the 'million march'.
Raising slogans of "Jai Telangana" and holding flags of various
parties, the activists reached Tank Bund from different
directions, though the police had sealed all the surrounding
routes for vehicles.
The protestors broke the police barricade and removed the barbed
wires at Ambedkar statue and were heading towards the road along
Hussain Sagar Lake. The policemen deployed there were outnumbered
by the protestors.
"The future of coming generations is more important for me than my
examination," said a student who reached Tank Bund immediately
after writing Class 11 exams.
The protestors included students, political workers, employees and
others from Hyderabad and various districts of Telangana.
Tension prevailed in the surrounding areas as police arrested
legislators and leaders Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), Telugu
Desam Party (TDP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The legislators were arrested at Basheerbagh as they were heading
towards Tank Bund in different groups.
Police also arrested 200 students of Veterinary College when they
were proceeding towards Tank Bund.
