Telangana supporters hold protests at collectorates

Hyderabad, February 01: The all-party Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) today held protests at the offices of District Collectors as part of the pro-Telangana agitation.

JAC Convener Prof C Kodandaram, several senior TDP leaders, including T Devender Goud and N Janardhan Reddy, held a protest outside the Ranga Reddy district Collectorate here.

The JAC had last week extended its deadline to press for acceptance of the resignations of MLAs and MLCs till February seven following Union Home Minister P Chidambaram’s announcement to appoint a committee to go into the Telangana statehood issue.

The JAC, however, decided to continue with the agitation.

The steering committee of JAC had decided on January 29 to stage sit-in at collectorates on February one and relay hunger strike of legislators at Assembly on February two.
