Hyderabad: Several leaders have lauded the efforts of Telangana Information Technology Association's efforts to recognize the agitators of the 9169 movement. Jayashankar Telangana Research and Development Centre (JTRDC) along with TITA have celebrated the Golden Jubilee Celebrations on Thursday.
To commemorate April 4, the crucial day of the 1959 Telangana movement, TITA organized a special programme at Secunderabad Clock Towers. Former Home Minister Nayani Narasimha Reddy, TSPC Member C Vittal, Senior Journalist Pasham Yadagiri took part in the event along with several techies. Secunderabad Parliament MP Candidate Saikiran also attended the event.
The 1969 movement called for a separate Telangana State. Those agitators who fought the cause were suppressed. Despite that the movement didn't stop. Finally, the Statehood has been achieved. Firing took place on April 4, 1969 at the Secunderabad Clock Tower to suppress the movement. And that's why TITA chose the day today to commemorate the day.
