Meanwhile, the Telangana Women and Transgender Organisations Joint Action Committee (JAC) is gearing up to organise a protest at Dharna Chowk on Thursday in solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party-led protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi against the NEET paper leak.
The protest is scheduled to be held from 10 am to 4 pm. The organisers have urged people to join the protest and commute to the venue using public transport due to the lack of parking space at Dharna Chowk and Indira Park.
