T-parties go ahead with Sept. 5 bandh

The Osmania University Joint Action Committee (OUJAC) called for a ‘Telangana bandh’ on September 5 to thwart the attempt by the AP Public Service Commission to conduct the Group-I services preliminary exams across the state.

It also called for boycott of classes on September 4 in all the universities of the Telangana region. The Telangana Political Joint Action Committee (TPJAC) has extended support to the bandh. The TPJAC and OUJAC have been demanding 42 per cent quota for Telangana students in Group-I jobs and have threatened to disrupt the exam if APPSC goes ahead with the exam without agreeing to the demand.

However, the APPSC has decided to go ahead with the exam on September 5.
