SANGAREDDY, APRIL 11. Public hearing on pollution-causing industries in Jinnaram mandal of Medak district turned violent on Monday and the police had to resort to a lathicharge to dispel the agitated villagers. The public hearing for 18 industries, slated for the day, began at the Jinnaram mandal revenue office under the supervision of the Joint Collector, Bhim Nayak. According to the Sub-Inspector, Mohammad Salahuddin, trouble began in the evening session when Dilani, a green peace activist, was manhandled by one of the representatives of an industry. With the activist profusely bleeding with a head injury, villagers along with members of other NGOs, who have been demanding closure of the pollution-causing industries, started attacking those from the industry. Unable to control the crowd, the police resorted to a lathicharge and the hearing was called off. Later, the Joint Collector reviewed the situation at the MRO office. Decision on the next hearing for another batch on Tuesday is yet to be taken.
