Police officers join Non-Cooperation

Amid growing demands for carving a separate Telangana state out of Andhra Pradesh, staff of a senior police officer in Medak district Thursday joined the on-going non-cooperation movement against the state government.

Employees of the office of the Medak district police superintendent joined the Telangana movement and demanded a bill in parliament for the formation of a separate Telangana state.

Leaders of the Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) staged a sit-in outside the police superintendent’s office following reports that he warned employees against joining the movement.

K. Tarakarama Rao appealed to policemen to join other government employees participating in the movement. He told reporters that the policemen in other districts should emulate their counterparts in Medak.
Andhra Pradesh Police chief Aravinda Rao, however, as expected, denied that any police have joined the movement!
