TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao on Friday called for Telangana bandh on Saturday protesting against Government’s atrocity in the name of preventive arrests and police excesses on the Telangana activists during the ‘Chalo Assembly’.

Condemning the police highhandedness on the protestors, KCR said it was undemocratic to arrest the TJAC leaders, the TRS MLAs and the party workers. He demanded that the Government should release all the activists immediately.
