The first batch of the additional central forces, sought by the state government to keep the law and order situation in the state under control after the submission of the Justice B N Srikrishna report, will reach Hyderabad on Thursday.
The centre had dispatched the contingent of paramilitary forces on Wednesday. These paramilitary forces will be dispatched in sensitive areas of the state in all the 3 regions, apart from Hyderabad.
The state government had earlier asked for around 120 companies of central paramilitary forces for the state, anticipating a backlash in the Telangana region after the submission of the Srikrishna report.
The Srikrishna report will be submitted by December 31st to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram, and the state government is apprehensive that disgruntled elements may use it as an excuse to create trouble.
The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) had earlier said that it suspected a ploy behind the state government seeking the paramilitary force to suppress the legitimate demands of the Telangana people.
TRS leader Etala Rajender had said that he feared that the state and central governments would try to curb the just demands of Telangana state by using force.
Rajender had warned the government that the Telangana sentiment would not be crushed under the use of force. He said that the people of Telangana would counter all repressive measures with protests.
