HC permits BRS meet in Wanaparthy
The Telangana High Court on Wednesday granted permission to the BRS to hold a public meeting at Dharna Chowk, Gollapally village gate of Ravelly mandal, Wanaparthy district, on Thursday (April 9).
Justice EV Venugopal directed the Wanaparthy SP to issue permission while hearing a lunch motion moved by the party. The petition was filed by Gattu Yadav, BRS’ Wanaparthy district president, challenging the SP’s order cancelling permission. Farmers from Thalpanoor, Revalty, Yedula, Cheekapally, Chennaram and Gollapally villages had opposed the construction of the Gollapally Reservoir near Yedula Reservoir.
Initially, the DSP Wanaparthy had granted permission for the meeting, but the SP later cancelled it citing the area as Maoist‑infested and intelligence inputs of a massive gathering.
Disposing of the petition, the judge directed that the meeting be held between 5 pm and 9 pm on Thursday with a limit of 1,000 members. He further instructed that politicians attending should not deliver inciting speeches and must adhere to all conditions imposed by the police.
