Violating prohibitory orders, the Telangana supporters
headed towards the Necklace Road at Hussain Sagar lake, the
venue of the event, and clashed with security personnel on
their way.Incidents of violence were reported from the Osmania
University campus, Khairatabad and the Andhra Pradesh
Secretariat.When they were stopped from passing by the Secretariat
road and some other areas where prohibitory orders were in
place, the protesters pelted stones and tried to remove the
barricades which prompted the security personnel to lob tear
gas shells after trying to chase them away."Protesters were directionless on their way towards
the venue. They tried to proceed through prohibited areas,"
Director General (law and order) S A Huda said."We have been monitoring the situation. It is tense
but under control," he said.The protesters torched two police vehicles at People's
Plaza on the Necklace Road, police said.Violence erupted on the Osmania University campus here
after pro-Telangana students clashed with police when they
were prevented from taking out a rally to join the
'Telangana March'.Police used water cannons and lobbed teargas shells on
pro-Telangana supporters near the venue as some of them
allegedly tried to defy the orders and proceeded towards the
Secretariat.Permission was granted to organise the 'Telangana
March' from 3 PM to 7 PM at the Necklace Road, after talks
were held between the government and the Telangana Joint
Action Committee (JAC).
