JAC informed that a day long sit in protest was proposed on Sunday, from 11 am to 5pm in the evening at Dharna Chowk but the police have deliberately rejected permission to peaceful protest.

He informed that a new application has been filed with police commissioner Hyderabad to grant permission for holding women’s protest on February 16.
