Hyderabad: TRS today appealed to the people of Telangana to make the proposed 'rail roko' in support of the separate statehood demand on March 1 a grand success.
TRS floor leader in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly E. Rajender urged people all over the region to come to the railway tracks on March 1 and send across a message to the Centre on the Telangana demand.
TRS MLAs and MLCs would oversee the arrangements for the rail blockade programme, named 'Palle Palle Pattala Paiki' (villages on railway tracks), tomorrow and the leaders of other parties should also participate in the programme, he said.
Intensifying the pro-Telangana agitation, the Telangana political Joint Action Committee (JAC), that comprises TRS, BJP and a number of people's organisations, have called for train blockades on March 1.
TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao has yesterday announced that a massive 'Chalo Hyderabad' rally would be organised on March 10.
Christened 'million march to Hyderabad', the programme would see lakhs of people coming to Hyderabad and not a soul would be able to move around in the city on that day, he said.
However, the JAC indicated that the programme may be rescheduled in view of the year-end examinations of the intermediate students.
Meanwhile, JAC convener M. Kodandaram met Congress Rajya Sabha member K. Keshav Rao today at his residence to urge him to see that a quick decision is taken by the Centre on the Telangana issue.
