Police Prevent BRS Cadres from Participating in Secunderabad Municipal Corporation Rally

Police in Hyderabad prevented BRS cadres from participating in a peace rally demanding a separate Secunderabad Municipal Corporation, citing lack of permission. The rally, planned by former Minister and Sanathnagar MLA Talasani Srinivas Yadav, was to proceed from Secunderabad Railway Station to the Gandhi statue on MG Road. BRS leaders condemned the police action, with senior leader T Harish Rao calling the blocking and arrests a condemnable act.
