Hyderabad: Two persons, including a former IAS officer, were arrested by the police on Tuesday for protesting the allotment of double-bedroom houses to the poor.
Akunuri Murali who is also the convenor of the Social Democratic Forum (SDF), along with the forum’s co-convenor Dr Prudhviraj were arrested from Ambedkar Colony in Hanamkonda district.
The protest happened on Monday in Bhupalpally town. In a statement, the SDF said, “A total of 540 two-bedroom houses were constructed five years ago. So far not a single house has been allotted to the poor.”
Following the incident, Bhupalpally collector Bhavesh Mishra sent the local tahsildar Md. Iqbal to talk to Murali in the police station. The protest was later called off when the collector promised house allotment will be done by February 4.
