Hyderabad, January 21: The Telangana bandh called by the Osmania University students Joint Action Committee in protest against delay in announcing a time frame for Telangana formation, continued for the second day today amid stepped up security.
The bandh has total backing of the political JAC, which has intensified its stir advancing its deadline of January 28 for a Central government announcement and branded the elected representatives, including ministers, from the Telangana region, as ”betrayers” for not submitting their resignations to create a ”constitutional crisis” in a bid to realise statehood for Telangana.
The political JAC granted exemption to buses plying to Medaram in Warangal for a tribal festival.
State Road Transport Corporation withdrew some of its services while keeping its options open to run bus services depending on the situation developing during the day.
Additional police forces, including central paramilitary forces, had been called out in view of the bandh.
