Telangana bandh peaceful

Hyderabad, Dec 30 (PTI) Barring sporadic incidents, the
Telangana bandh Wednesday called by the all-party Joint Action
Committee (JAC) in support of the separate statehood demand
was peaceful.

There were no incidents of violence and the bandh was
totally peaceful till noon, Director General of Police (DGP) R
R Girish Kumar told reporters here.
However, normal life was paralysed across the Telangana
region as the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation
(APSRTC) and the Railways suspended services.
The pro-Telangana agitators organised road blockades and
dharnas in the districts of Telangana region. The JAC leaders
also held a rally at Baghlingampalli locality here but they
were taken into custody by the police.
"All parties have come under one umbrella and formed the
JAC. We demand that the Centre table a bill in Parliament for
formation of separate Telangana state immediately. Otherwise,
we will intensify the agitation," JAC Convener Prof Kodandaram
told reporters.
"It is the strong demand of four crore Telangana people
to have the separate state. The Centre should take immediate
steps for the formation of Telangana," senior Telugu desam
Party (TDP) leader N Janardhana Reddy said.
The rally was also attended by leaders of Telangana
Rashtra Samiti (TRS), Congress and other JAC constituents.
