Hyderabad: Former Minister T Harish Rao wrote an open letter to Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, urging him to release surrender and additional surrender leave benefits to police constables. He informed that around 6,000 constables in Kamareddy, Nizamabad, Medak, Sangareddy, and Siddipet districts were waiting for their leave benefits for the last eight months.

Harish Rao also pointed out the financial strain faced by police personnel and petrol station managers due to unpaid petrol and diesel bills for several months.
