File review petition against ‘free zone’ ruling, say TNGOs

HYDERABAD: The Telangana NGOs’ Central Union on Monday demanded that the State Government immediately file a review petition in the Supreme Court against its ruling on Hyderabad ‘free zone’ and order a comprehensive enquiry into the administration’s alleged inefficient handling of the case.

Leaders and members of the union took out a rally from the Telangana NGOs Bhavan to the Martyrs’ Memorial, near the State Assembly, demanding intervention of both the Central and the State Governments in the case.

They wanted the State Government not to implement the court order as it did in 1972 in the court’s ruling on ‘Mulki’ rules. If the order is enforced, the interests of Telangana employees will be in jeopardy, they alleged. The leaders contended that there is no mention of a ‘free zone’ in the Presidential Order.

Members of the union will stage dharnas in front of Collectorates in Telangana districts on Tuesday seeking an announcement by Chief Minister K. Rosaiah clarifying the Government stand on the issue.
