The Telangana movement in the region was largely peaceful today, barring an instance of activists destroying soft drink bottles of retailers threatening them to stop selling products endorsed by Ram Charan Tej and Allu Arjun (Chiranjeevi is vocal about his support for a United Andhra Pradesh).
In Warangal, 1,500 Panchayati Raj employees in Telangana have tendered their resignations in support of separate statehood. Politicians are applauding the move, saying that it demonstrates the feelings of people, and that it is not a political move but a citizens’ move.
The fasts-unto-death happening in Adilabad were disrupted by police. In Karimnagar there was a students’ rally accompanied by the beating of drums. Khammam saw plenty of folk programs, like in a few other parts of Telangana. Several backward communities are reported to have taken part in these programs.
