TRS threatens to bring city to halt over 'T'

Telangana Rashtriya Samiti on Tuesday threatened to bring the Andhra Pradesh state capital Hyderabad to a halt if the Centre did not grant statehood to Telangana by January 28.

Those opposing the creation of Telangana state should remember that the State Road Transport Corporation, the electricity department and the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation are in our hands. Garbage will not be lifted and there will be no power supply. Buses will not run either, TRS MLA T Harish Rao said, releasing the diary of GHMC employees in Hyderabad.
The Centre should take a favourable decision on Telangana as promised by January 28th, Rao demanded. We have nothing against common people of Andhra-Rayalaseema regions. We are only opposed to those who want to boss over us, he said, adding that they were seeking a harmonious separation of the two regions.
The threat to disrupt power supply had earlier been issued by the Telangana Electricity Employees Association as well.
