Telangana HC directs cops to accord permission for farmers’ rally
Description
HYDERABAD: The Telangana high court on Monday amicably resolved a stalemate between protesting farmers and police authorities and directed the police to accord permission to the agitating farmers, who are demanding that the new farm laws be scrapped, to take out a rally. Justice K Lakshman heard a petition filed by Pasya Padma of Telangana Rashtra Rythu Sangham alleging that permission was denied for the vehicle rally in support of the farmers on Republic Day from Indira Park to Necklace Road. The police were apprehensive about allowing such protests within the city on Republic Day and therefore denied the permission. However, the judge asked both parties to think of alternatives. Accordingly, the petitioners changed the route of the rally from Saroornagar Stadium to Uppal cricket stadium between 2pm and 5pm and Rachakonda police commissioner was asked to accord permission.
