BRS protest for Secunderabad Corporation fails

Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) launched a protest on Saturday demanding the creation of a Secunderabad Municipal Corporation. Led by former minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, the rally was planned from the Secunderabad railway station to the Mahatma Gandhi statue on MG Road.

However, police refused permission for the rally, citing concerns about traffic congestion in the city. Officials said the permission was sought under the banner of the Secunderabad District Sadhana Samiti, but was rejected due to law and order and traffic concerns.
Several party workers who attempted to participate in the rally were detained as a precautionary measure. This led to a tense situation near the Secunderabad railway station, prompting heavy police deployment, including special forces, to maintain order.
