Telangana activists caned at Vanasthalipuram

HYDERABAD: Tension gripped the NGO's Colony in Vanasthalipuram on Tuesday morning after Telangana supporters tried to obstruct the buses that were transporting employees to the Secretariat. Telangana activists broke the window panes of a couple of buses while the police caned them away leading to tension.
Trouble began at around 9.15 a.m when a group of government employees, who reportedly hail from nonTelangana region, reached the NGO's Colony bus stand from where special buses were being run to the Secretariat. Ever since the RTC employees joined the Sakala Janula Samme, buses were being run with police escort for the employees to reach the Secretariat. As the employees were about to board the buses, local TRS leaders and supporters, who reached there asked the employees to boycott duties and join the strike.
