Is the sudden arrest of Telangana JAC convener Kodandaram and TRS leaders including Nayani Narasimhareddy on Sunday any indication? They were simply going to the coal belt to organize rallies in support of the striking Singareni and RTC employees. They made several such trips to different parts of Telangana in the past. But why the sudden police action? Why was Kodandaram and others were arrested and why were they released immediately?Does it mean that the government wanted to send a strong signal to the agitators that it would handle the agitation with a tough hand henceforth?

Consequent to the party high command’s direction to restore normalcy in the state, the state government is trying to harden its attitude towards the strike. Following the request of the state, the central government has sent forces of CRPF, BSF, Central Industrial Security Force and Rapid Action Force. These forces which have reached the state would be assisting 70 companies of paramilitary forces already stationed in the state.

Apart from deciding to run the trains with police protection during the rail-roko from October 12 to 14, the government is keen on restoring the bus services and functioning of educational institutions. An indication to this effect was already given by minister Parthaasarathy who while appealing to the educational institutions, has warned that any attempts to force these institutions to close down would be sternly dealt with. The Telangana region would also witness some rupture between the APSRTC workers and the management as more number of private buses are sought to be pressed into service to improve the transport facilities drastically. The government may also try to scuttle the attempts of the Employees JAC to organize a massive public meeting on the 11th.
