Demanding that the Telangana government create Jangaon as a special district, the District JAC observed a Jangaon bandh on Saturday, too.
Commercial and business centres remained closed, and the police imposed a ban order under Section 144 CrPC to ensure that there would be no untoward incidents like on Friday. As directed by district SP Amber Kishore, additional police forces from Warangal, Mahabubabad and Narsampet were deployed in Jangaon to control the situation.
The people of the nearby villages still organized a rasta roko on the Warangal-Hyderabad national highway near Yashwanthpur and brought the vehicular traffic to a grinding halt for almost five kilometres. The police however intervened and made the protestors withdraw the rasta-roko by holding discussions with them.
