Students stage unique protest demanding HC in Kurnool
The student leaders representing the Rayalaseema Joint Action Committee (JAC) staged a unique protest in front of the Collectorate here on Tuesday.
Kurnool: The student leaders representing the Rayalaseema Joint Action Committee (JAC) staged a unique protest in front of the Collectorate here on Tuesday. The JAC leaders have tied rope to their necks to indicate that they will hang themselves if High Court is not set up in Kurnool and State capital in Rayalaseema region.
Speaking on the occasion, JAC State convener B Sriramulu said that the leaders were doing injustice to Rayalaseema region. Since decades the region was being neglected.
He demanded that the government should set up High Court in Kurnool and shift capital to Rayalaseema region following Sri Bagh Pact. If the demand is not considered, then the only solution to achieve it is to commit suicide by hanging, he said.
Another leader Chandrappa asked the government to set up industries and generate employment to the unemployed youth. He also demanded to set up Textile Park at Yemmignoor, tomato juice factory at Pathikonda, industrial hub at Orvakal, Mining University at Dhone and developing Kurnool general hospital on par with Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (IIMS).
Rama Krishna and Mahindra also demanded the government to immediately construct irrigation projects Alugu Siddeswaram, RDS and Vedavathy. A sum of Rs 15,000 crore should be allocated for the purpose. They also asked the government to set up Agriculture University at Nandyal and cement factories at Banaganapalli.
