Event
The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC), a local unit of the Indian National Congress (INC), plans to stage protests at multiple locations in Telangana State from April 21. The purpose of these events is to address various issues, such as unemployment. Organizers have called for the following protests:
April 21: Participants will gather at Mahatma Gandhi University in Nalgonda.
April 24: Protesters will rally at an unknown location in Khammam.
April 26: Demonstrators will gather at an unspecified location in Adilabad.
May 4 or 5: Protesters will gather at Saroornagar Play Ground in Saroornagar.
Organizers have yet to specify the start times of these events but claim five million students will participate. Protests may occur on days not set above.
Authorities will likely deploy additional security in and around the rally sites. Localized transport disruptions are possible due to increased security measures and the presence of large numbers of people. Police may disperse crowds if gatherings become disruptive, possibly leading to clashes.
Advice
Avoid all protests. Allow additional travel time. Monitor trusted local sources for updates on rallies and related disruptions, as organizers may not announce time or location details in advance. Heed all official traffic and security advisories. Leave the area immediately if violence breaks out.
