Front Page MRPS attacks Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad Staff Reporter Abortive attempt to set fire to the building DAMAGE CONTROL: A fireman at the Gandhi Bhavan after the MRPS attack in Hyderabad on Saturday evening. HYDERABAD: The SC reservation categorisation agitation took an extremely militant turn when Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti (MRPS) activists made an abortive bid to set fire to Gandhi Bhavan on Saturday evening. Three MRPS activists, one Special Police Officer and one Gandhi Bhavan staffer sustained burns as they grappled with each other. There was not much damage to the building, the headquarters of the State Congress, as only some furniture at the reception counter was burnt. The condition of two MRPS agitators, Surendar Madiga and Damodar Madiga, was stated to be critical. They were shifted to DRDO Apollo Hospital at Kanchenbagh. Tension escalated at the State Congress headquarters as hundreds of incensed Congress workers rushed there from AICC president Sonia Gandhi’s public meeting at Parade Grounds. Police were struggling to control the slogan-shouting agitated workers. Strict vigil A shell-shocked police administration which maintained strict vigil elsewhere, anticipating trouble in view of MRPS announcement to disrupt Sonia Gandhi’s meeting, relaxed a bit after some MRPS workers were arrested at Tank Bund. Apparently, the police focus was more on preventing disturbance at Parade Grounds. A police team deployed to protect Gandhi Bhavan was stationed at the outer gate, while three Special Police Officers (SPOs) were inside the building. ------------------------------------ ---- INFORMATION OVERLOAD?
