The twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad will probably see a total shutdown on September 30, Friday as the agitation seeking statehood for Telangana intensifies.

The Telangana Joint Action Committee has called for a one-day bandh in both the cities.

Transport will be paralysed as auto drivers are set to take part in the bandh. The Telangana Auto Drivers JAC (TADJAC) comprising 20 unions has appealed to all auto drivers in the twin cities to participate in the bandh.

RTC buses have already been off the roads.

MMTS services will remain cancelled between Secunderabad and Falaknuma from 6:00 am to 12:00 noon. All educational institutions, private and government, will remain closed.

Meanwhile, security remains tight at the Secretariat, which witnessed trouble on Wednesday after the police arrested some bus drivers for trying to stop others’ work. Non-striking employees attended their duties as usual on Thursday.

Forces have been deployed at each block of the Secretariat, tightening the security. There was a demonstration at J block for a brief period on Thursday.

Telangana JAC chairman Prof Kodandaram, who called for the one-day city bandh a few days ago, appealed to all pro-Telangana organisations, student and employee associations to actively take part in the bandh.

Speaking to media, DGP V. Dinesh Reddy said the public need not worry about Friday's bandh.

“No untoward incidents were reported though the agitation has been going on for over two weeks,'' the top cop pointed out after inaugurating new building of the Musheerabad police station.
