Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and Chief Minister-designate K Chandrasekhar Rao has called for Telangana Bandh on Thursday on the Polavaram Project issue.
The decision to call for bandh was taken on Wednesday following reports that the Union Cabinet, which met at New Delhi under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had decided to come out with an ordinance to begin works on Polavaram Project. Since TRS has been demanding changes in the design of Polavaram Project and allocation of all affected mandals of Khammam to Telangana State, the party has decided to call for a bandh.
Several JACs have announced their support for the TRS bandh call.
