Rail roko called off, but bandh in Telangana today
In response to the Telangana agitation, the state government has clarified that action will be initiated against schools which do not open from Tuesday. The government had earlier issued the ultimatum for Monday.
Normal life is likely to be affected by yet another ‘bandh’ in the Telangana region on Monday as public transport, educational institutions, shops and establishments are expected to remain closed.
The region, barring the State capital, is crippled by the ongoing “Sakala Janula Samme” (strike by all sections of people) that entered the 34 {+t} {+h} day on Sunday. Buses of the Andhra Pradesh Road Transport Corporation were operated on Sunday after they remained off the roads for close to four weeks, but are likely to remain in the depots due to the bandh.
The Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC), which is spearheading the agitation for a separate Telangana, has, however, announced suspension of the third day’s ‘rail roko’ on Monday. Instead, it has called for the ‘bandh’ in protest against what it called the police “excesses” against the leaders and their arrests while they were participating in the ‘rail roko’ agitation. Nine MPs, several MLAs, and other senior leaders were arrested on the first day of these protests on Saturday.
