A supporter for a separate Telangana State tried to ablaze himself outside the Osmania University campus, where hundreds of students started a march towards the state assembly on February 19. The student who attempted suicide is being treated at a city hospital. A number of troops have been deployed across Hyderabad as students began their march to the assembly in support of separate Telangana. Over 20,000 police personnel, including paramilitary and Rapid Action Force, besides 9,000 city police personnel, were deployed on various roads leading to the assembly to thwart any attempt of the students to lay siege. Students affiliated to Telangana Students Joint Action Committee and Osmania University Students Joint Action Committee started their march “Chalo Assembly” from Osmania University campus to Assembly demanding resignation of Congress and TDP MLAs from the Telangana region in support of their demand.
