Telangana police resorted to aerial firing to disperse the angry crowd at the Secunderabad railway station as protests escalated into large-scale violence and arson.
Protestors are demonstrating on railway tracks and have halted all train movement for the last three hours. Security forces are outnumbered as the railway station has been overrun by angry youth, who have already set three trains on fire.
The railways are diverting trains so that they don’t go through the Secunderabad station. The disruption began at 9 am when over 350 protestors took over the railway station.
