Hyderabad, Feb 4 (Inditop.com) Pro-Telangana activists Thursday displayed their unity for the cause of a separate statehood by organising community kitchens, mass meals, cultural programmes and games on two highways in the region.
The all-party Joint Action Committee (JAC) organised community kitchens and mass meals on Hyderabad-Warangal and Hyderabad-Karimnagar-Manchiryal highways.
Leaders and activists of various political parties, non-political organisations, caste groups, cultural organisations and individuals demanding the formation of Telangana state, cooked food together and lunched sitting on roads, bringing the vehicular traffic to a halt between 10 am to 2 pm.
“This programme has been organised to send out a clear message that people of Telangana, irrespective of their religion, caste and creed are united in their demand for statehood,” said JAC convenor M. Kodandaram, who participated in the novel agitation at Shamirpet on the city outskirts.
The protesters, including women and students, also participated in cultural programmes and played various games.
The JAC had Wednesday organised a 500-km long human chain on National Highway 7 running through Telangana to press the demand for carving out Telangana state from the present Andhra Pradesh.
