Hyderabad: Officers of
the Andhra Pradesh Special Police (APSP) are facing the wrath of
the wives of the constables over the denial of leave to their
husbands and poor working conditions.
The protest, which began at Kondapur near Hyderabad Saturday,
spread to some districts Sunday with women taking up cudgels on
behalf of their husbands, who are allegedly overworked and being
denied leave by their seniors. The women also alleged that their
seniors were taking bribes to sanction leave.
Tension prevailed at APSP eighth battalion at Kondapur when the
women protesting for the second consecutive day tried to attack
APSP Inspector General A.B. Venkateshwar Rao.
The protestors threw footwear towards Rao, who allegedly
introduced a new system recently under which the constables were
required to work for 40 days in remote areas outside their
battalion range. Raising slogans of 'we want justice', the women
sat on the road.
They lodged their protest at Kondapur when APSP Director General
Gautam Swang reached there to review the situation. They demanded
that Home Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy should hear their
grievance.
The women and children also came out to protest at the fifth
battalion in Vijayanagaram district, the 11th battalion in Kadapa
district and the 13th battalion in Adilabad district.
The officials held talks with protestors and reportedly agreed to
withdraw the controversial order. However, no official
announcement was made.
Meanwhile, the protests spread to other districts as women and
children came out to confront the officials.
The protest began a few days ago when an eighth battalion
constable Phani Kumar, who was sent to Rampachodavaram in East
Godavari district, died of health problems after he was denied
leave. However, the women came out on streets Saturday.
The women blamed battalion commandant Ramesh Naidu for the
constable's death. They alleged that Naidu was harassing the
constables.
