Meka Ramaswami, general secretary of Indur Bharathi, a literary and cultural organisation, appealed to District Collector Yogitha Rana to develop the cell in which the fighters of Telangana Liberation Movement – Dasarathi Krishnamachary and Vattikota Alwar Swami – were kept in custody during their incarceration at Quilla jail by the Nizam Nawab Mir Osman Ali Khan. In a memorandum submitted to the Collector here on Saturday, he urged the administration to install life-size portraits of the two stalwarts who laid down their lives for people. The cell should be spruced up and developed into a national monument, he said. Mr. Ramaswami also requested Ms. Rana to use her good offices to set up a permanent library on municipal or government land to enable people to read the duo’s literature and also to conduct research on them. He thanked the Collector for her positive response to the twin demands.
