Police today foiled attempt by the Left parties and other organisations to undertake a run in protest against the Telangana Government's proposal to shift "Dharna Chowk", the venue to hold demonstrations, from Indira Park to outskirts of the city.
"Over 100 members of Left parties and other organisations were taken into preventive custody, along with the Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC) chairman M Kodandaram," Gandhinagar Police Station Inspector A Sanjeeva Rao said, adding they were released later.
The protesters had planned to undertake the two-km run from Sundarayya Vignana Kendram in Barkatpura towards Indira Park, where "Dharna Chowk" is located.
The protesters raised anti-government slogans and demanded that the protest venue should not be shifted.
The Opposition parties had earlier urged Governor ESL Narasimhan to direct the Telangana government to withdraw its proposal to relocate Dharna Chowk.
