JAC to intensify stir for Jangaon as district

August 14, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 08:24 am IST - JANGAON (WARANGAL DT.):

The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of the Zilla Sadhana Samithi fighting for the district status for Jangaon has decided to undertake a series of protests as a last measure.

As part of it, JAC leaders Ratnakar Reddy, JAC chairman A Dashmanth Reddy and others said they have called for a two-day bandh on Friday and Saturday. A roundtable on Cheriyal and Maddur mandal would be held on Saturday.

Mr Dashmanth Reddy has decided to undertake indefinite hunger strike after the State government comes out with the list of new districts. “If Jangaon is not declared as new district, I will go on indefinite hunger strike from August 23,” he said.
