Police Fired Farmers In Nizamabad

Nizamabad is now burning like a hot bed with police firing on farmers. Situation turned very hot when farmers were staging a dharna on NH-7 in protest against Mahipal Reddy, a businessman who sells fertilizer. The farmers tried to ablaze the businessman's house but that proved to be a futile attempt. Police opened lathi charge in this situation.
But the farmers didn't stop at that point and continued their agitation. They also retaliated on police with stones. DSP Hathi Ram and local Sub Inspector were severely injured with this. As the situation turned out of control, police opened fire. But still the farmers tried to ablaze another businessman Anand Reddy's house. Agricultural Minister Raghuveera Reddy reacted to this and expressed his sorrow over police shooting. He termed the incident as an unfortunate incident and said that he is tracking the information from the police. It is learnt that Chief Minister Y S Rajasekar Reddy is going to conduct an emergency meeting on this issue very shortly.
