Sakala Janula Samme (People's Strike)

The Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC) has deferred the Sakala janula Samme (strike by all sections of society including government employees) September 13 onwards instead of September 6.
A decision to this effect was taken at the steering committee meeting of the TJAC. It has taken the decision in view of the request from Muslim & Hindu organizations Ganesh festival will begin from Sept 1 and continue till Sept 11.

After the steering committee meeting, “A huge public meeting – Telangana Jana Garjana – will be organized at Karimnagar on Sep-12th and in that meeting TJAC Chirman Prof. Kodandaram announced that the Sakala Janula Samme will commence from Sep-13th onwards. This will signal the resumption of the movement on a bigger scale for Telangana cause. We will take advantage of the political uncertainty in the state to press for an early decision on Telangana,” he said.The TJAC chairman said that the samme will be something that the state had not witnessed earlier. Normal life would come to a standstill – schools, colleges, government offices – will not function.“Administration will have to come to a grinding halt,” he said.

The TRS chief appealed to all sections of the society to participate in the Sakala Janula Samme. “There is a misconception that the strike is only applicable to the government employees. In fact everybody including advocates, lawyers, teachers, lecturers, RTC, electricity, Singareni employees would take part in the strike,” he said. 

On September 14th and 15th, all cinema halls would be shut in Telangana region since Telangana Film Chamber has already given a call to this effectOn September 17 there will be blockade of national highways and on Sept 22 there will be a rail roko.On Sept 25, Telangana activists will lay siege to the offices of the district collectors. “If there is no change in the attitude of the Center, there will be chalo Hyderabad in October,” Kodandaram said.
