Hyderabad: Unemployed individuals staged a sit-in protest near the Dilshuknagar Metro Station in Hyderabad on Wednesday, January 7, demanding that the Telangana government release a job calendar.
The protest was held under the Dilshuknagar Metro Station line where participants sat on the road.
Traffic jam due to protest
The protest resulted in a heavy traffic jam near the Dilshuknagar Metro Station. The protest saw the participation of girls and boys who were seeking employment. They carried banners and raised slogans such as, “We do not want Congress rule,” “We want justice” and “Job calendar announced in the Assembly has to be released immediately.”
Nearly 500 protestors from various libraries and hostels in Dilsuknagar took part in the protest. The police were seen trying to manage the flow of traffic.
Speaking to Siasat.com, Malakpet Station House Officer P Naresh said that the police handled the situation and no one was injured.
Telangana job calendar
Earlier, there was a report that the state government was going to release the job calendar for 2025-26 in June last year. In 2024, the Telangana government released the calendar on August 2.
It may be mentioned that the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government, which ruled the state from 2014 to 2023, never released the annual job calendar.
