The move comes in the wake of 10 TGSP personnel being dismissed from service late on Sunday on charges of being involved in the ongoing agitation, while 39 constables were suspended on similar charges, also on Sunday. The punitive action against the constables came after several of them took out protest marches wearing uniform on the campuses of the TGSP battalions.
