They formed human chains in the main centres in the town on Monday. Nearly 10,000 youth took out a rally at Tekkali. Students who took out huge rally from local RTC Complex to Seven Roads junction organised a public meeting in the name of Vidyarthi Garjana. The various unions expressed solidarity with the students.

On this occasion, the leaders said that observing the momentum of the agitation by the people, the political leaders are scared and were trying to resign and join the stir. They have realised that if they do not support the agitation their political future will be bleak, they said.
