Hyderabad, September 27: Hundreds of Telangana activists on Monday stormed into the office of Emaar Properties in Manikonda and ransacked the furniture.
Nearly 300 activists of Telangana United Front went to the office of Emaar Properties in the afternoon and damaged the furniture. They were demanding that the State Government return the land that it acquired from poor farmers for the construction of villas and high-end apartments in Emaar-MGF project.
The activists led by TUF president Vimalakka almost captured the Emaar office for several hours. After damaging the furniture, the activists climbed on the roof-top of five-storey building and threatened of committing suicide by jumping down if the police try to arrest them. The activists alleged that the state government has acquired land from poor Telangana farmers at cheaper rates and the same has been given to rich and elite.
The TUF said that land acquired from the poor Telangana peasants for different projects would be returned after the formation of Telangana State.
