Speaking on the occasion, Kaushik Reddy thanked all the sections of society who supported his protest. Stating that it was not his personal agitation, the MLA said that he was fighting for the future of the people of Huzurabad.

There was no question of allowing the government to establish the dumping yard, he made it clear and informed that he would continue the agitation till the government withdrew its decision to establish a dumping yard near Huzurabad.

Agricultural lands, crops and the environment would also be affected. Emphasizing the need to unite all political parties for the public cause, he wanted the union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar and Malkajgiri MP Eatala Rajender to join the agitation.

Various sections of the people including doctors, medical workers, walkers, traders, wives of traders and women from surrounding villages supported the MLA’s deeksha.

On the other hand, the protest deeksha being undertaken at Ambedkar chowk, Huzurabad town by the JAC has reached its 16th day on Wednesday.
