Mild tension prevailed near the Maharaj Agrasen statue close to Telangana Bhavan in Banjara Hills when several BRS party workers staged a protest and burnt an effigy of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday.
The protest against the government for allegedly
targeting the BRS party and its leaders and foisting cases led to a massive traffic jam in the surrounding areas.
The Banjara Hills police rushed to the spot, dispersed the protesters and brought the situation under control. Traffic movement was restored after a brief disruption.
