Nizambad: Wives of constables of 7thBattalion of Telangana State Special Police (TSSP) staged a protest at Dichpally on Thursday demanding equal work for their husbands. They alleged that discrimination in duty allotment of police personnel is affecting their families. The protesters sat on National Highway-44 in front 7th Battalion entrance at Rajaramnagar. As a result, vehicular traffic on NH-44 was disrupted.
The protesting women said their husbands are used as labourers in the battalion campus and no official work is provided to them. Frequent transfers of TSSP constables adversely affect their families. The 8-hour working standard should be implemented, they said. Meanwhile, BRS working president K. T.
