No postponing, change in timing of Million March: Kodandaram

Brushing aside pleas by anxious parents and students, the Telangana Political Joint Action Committee on Monday categorically stated that the proposed ‘Million March’ would go ahead on March 10, as announced earlier.

Talking to media persons after emerging out a meeting convened at JAC office, New MLA quarters, Adarshnagar, TPJAC convener Kodandaram said that though the Million March will not be postpone, care would be taken to ensure that the proposed plans to lay siege to Hyderabad do not interfere in the Intermediate students’ examinations and put them at inconvenience.

Prof Kodandaram said that accordingly, the TPJAC has decided to change the timing of the March following the request of parents and students. He said that the March will be held from 1 PM to 4 PM on that day.

As part of the Million March, activists would prepare dishes on the roads, Prof Kodandaram said.

Apart from this, rallies will be organized in all ‘gallis’ (lanes) highlighting the need for introduction of Telangana Bill in Parliament. The rally will finally culminate on the Tank Bund.

He said the rallies would be peaceful and inconvenience students and examiners at the centres.

Prof Kodandaram called upon all pro-Telangana activists, cutting across party lines, to participate widely in the rally and make the programme a grand success.
