Protests mar ZP anniversary celebrations

WARANGAL: The first anniversary celebrations of the zilla parishad were held on Sunday amidst protests by the Telugu Desam, the main opposition party.

The TD members boycotted the celebrations held at Ambedkar Bhavan in the city. TDP ZPTC members and the mandal parishad presidents staged a sit-in at the Ambedkar statue.

Several legislators of the ruling Congress too remained absent. Meanwhile, the TD members staged protest demonstration throughout the day .

Charging the zilla parishad with not taking up any developmental activities during the past one year, they wondered why were the celebrations being held.
