Responding finally to an 11-day long hunger strike by Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) leader K. Chandrasekhar Rao,
demanding a separate state, and street protests across the Telangana region in his support, top Congress leaders
including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi held a series of meetings through the
day to resolve the issue.
After these consultations, I am making this statement. The process of forming the state of Telangana will be initiated.
An appropriate resolution will be moved in the state Assembly," Home Minister P Chidambaram told reporters late in the night.
Telangana region erupted in jubilation late Wednesday night after the Central government announced that the process
for formation of a separate state of Telangana will be initiated.
Students of Osmania University, the nerve centre of the 11-day long agitation for a separate state, Kakatiya University in Warangal,
Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) leaders and other groups fighting for the cause were overjoyed.
TRS leaders and cadres celebrated their "victory" outside Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), where their party
chief K. Chandrasekhara Rao broke his fast. Hundreds of students at Osmania University were seen dancing and
raising slogans of "Jai Telangana" soon after Home Minister P. Chidambaram announced in Delhi that an appropriate

KCR to continue ‘fast-unto-death’ in Khammam Sub-Jail
Demanding separate statehood for Telangana, the Telangana Rastra Samithi(TRS) President K Chandrasekhara Rao
decided to continue his fast-unto-death in the Khammam Sub-Jail where he was lodged, as police lathicharge,
road blockade, dharnas and damages to buses marred the entire Telangana areas when the police foiled the fast by
arresting Mr Rao and several top leaders. A first-year bachelor of Pharmacy student, Srikanth, was admitted to a
Corporate Hospital here with 47 per cent burns, as he set himself on fire in the wake of the arrest of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi(TRS) President K Chandrasekhara Rao near Karimnagar town today.
Meanwhile, Govt shutdown several cell towers and Dish services in northern Telangana .
TRS activists and students resorted to dharnas, road blockades and damaged buses in various places at Adilabad,
Nizamabad, Medak and Karimnagar, in which several buses were damaged protesting against the arrest of their leader,
demanding separate Telangana in the wake of Supreme Court declaring Hyderabad ''as a free zone'' for
posting of policemen in Andhra Pradesh. TRS has called for Telangana Bandh on 30 November, protesting against
the government’s anti-democratic move of aborting the
fast unto death program of their chief in a peaceful and democratic manner
At least two activists attempted self immolation, one of them grieveously, and buses were stoned in the agitation for a
separate Telangana. The news of the arrest sparked off violence in Hyderabad and several other places.
The police resorted to lathi charge of students and other protestors coming out of hostel buildings on the
Osmania University campus when they began raining stones at the police. Several students who were injured have been
rushed to hospital. Some policemen and a TV camera person was also injured.
Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has demanded the State
Government to withdraw all the police and revenue cases filed against
the TRS MLAs and cadres in connection with proposed indefinite fast
of TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao, scheduled from November 29 at
Siddipet in Medak district.
