BRS working president KT Rama Rao condemned the detention of party leaders protesting for irrigation water from the Jurala project. He demanded their release and alleged that water was being withheld despite availability, leaving standing crops under stress in the ayacut.
Tension flared at Hyderabad’s Kanchanbagh Police Station on Thursday after journalists alleged police misbehaviour while covering the detention of BRS leaders. Reporters claimed they were forcibly evicted from the premises, prompting them to stage a sit-in protest outside the station and raise slogans against the police.
