Overview
- TRS workers tried to stage a sit-in on HMDA land at Boduppal to press for allotment of house sites for families of Telangana martyrs, but police had denied permission and removed the party’s tents.
- A scuffle followed when protesters resisted dispersal, and police physically put TRS president K. Kavitha into a vehicle and moved her to Bollarum police station.
- TRS leaders accused police of using force, including lathi-charging women protesters, and said other party workers were detained during the operation.
- The party is demanding that the state implement earlier promises of 250-square-yard house sites, a monthly honorary pension of Rs 25,000 and a government job for one family member for each martyr’s family.
- TRS has framed the action as political suppression and vowed to continue protests while the episode highlights a wider dispute over unfulfilled commitments to activists who fought for Telangana statehood.
