Bangalore-bound commuters would face Telangana heat as the Telangana T-JAC plans to hold Sadak Bandh on February 24. Activists would be blocking the Hydbad-Bangalore highway for 24 hours. In the run-up to the blockade,T leaders on Monday launched a two-day bus yatra along the stretch betw-een Shamshabad and Alampur on the highway to mobilse people for the Sadak Bandh. The bus yatra led by T-JAC chairman M Kodandaram was flagged off on Monday morning at Gun Park near the Assembly building.Leaders held roadshows along the stretch at various places where they address-ed public gatherings.The bus stopped at Shamshabad,Shadnagar,Balnagar,Thimmapur and Jadcherla as TJAC chairman addressed the gathering.On the second day on Tuesday,roadshows have been lined up at Gadwal and Vanaparthi before culminating at Alampur with a public rally.The purpose of the bus yatra is to sensitise the people on the Sadak Bandh.We want to mobilise masess in a big way and we are calling upon the people to take part in the event, said Kodandaram.He said the Sadak Bandh would mark the relaunch of the Telangana movement in an aggressive manner,and that the agitation targeting the Congress would not stop until the UPA government tables the separate Telangana state bill in Parliament.The government cannot remain a mute spectator when people are agitating while the youths are committing suicides for T-state cause.The Congress leaders and the Centre should take responsibility for these suicides.We want to push the government to act,and this time,it would be a decisive battle, said Kodandaram.
Eleven points have been identified along the 150-km stretch between Shamshabad and Alampur where the people of T would stage protest by cooking on the middle of the road (Vanta Varpu ),tying cattle on the road,organising cultural programme Dhoom Dhaam,and celebrating the T cult festival Bathukamma.Katti Venkataswamy,convener of TJAC,said a lakh people would take part in the Sadak Bandh, some 10,000 people would gather at each point on the highway. A similar road block is being planned to stall traffic movement on the Vijayawada highway next month. Venkataswamy said the road block programmes are being organised as a symbolic protest to convey that Telangana peoples desire to be de-linked with Seemandhra.While Hyderabad-Bangalore highway connects Telangana to Rayalaseema,Hyderabad- Vijayawada links the region with Andhra. Apart from the Sadak Bandh, the TJAC is also planning extensive protest programmes across T- in the Assembly segments represented by the Congress leaders.During the protest programmes to be held between February 16 to 21,the T activists would lay siege to residences and the office establishments of the Congress leaders.

| Campaign for 50 states,Hyd as 2nd national capital Lending support to B R Ambedkars views on smaller states and the need to have a second national capital,the Hyderabad Bachao-Badhao Aandolana,is all set to launch a campaign for 50 states-two capitals this week in the city.Considering the huge population growth in the country and political and social issues affecting us,we need to follow what Ambedkar had suggested many decades ago, said. T Prashant Kumar,founder and convener of the organization,formed in 2010 with the iconic dalit leaders views as their guiding principles.The members of the body will soon hold rallies and awareness programmes throughout the state.There is a scope for dividing the country into 50 smaller states.This will not only ensure easy administration but also peace and harmony in the region, he said.The members also want Hyderabad to be made the second national capital of the country. There is a wide gap between south and north Indians as there is a widespread feeling that importance is always being given to north India.Having a capital in a south Indian city is the need of the hour and Hyderabad is the ideal city for this.Even Ambedkar felt the same and supported this argument, he said.Listing out further advantages,he said: If a second capital is created,the winter sessions of parliament can be held in the city which boasts of a pleasant weather throughout the year.Also,the Supreme Court can have a bench here paving the way for decentralization of judiciary. =================================================== (SOURCE-TOI) |
