People stage road blockade in Hyderabad over cash crunch
People block road on old mumbai highway
Hyderabad: Protesting the severe cash crunch, people on Friday staged a road blockade in busy Toli Chowki area here, leading to massive traffic jam on the old Mumbai highway. The protest began at State Bank of India’s Toli Chowki branch as account holders raised an objection when the bank officials refused to give more than Rs 2,000.
People including women waiting in queue since early morning entered into an argument with bank officials. As the situation became tense, the bank staff downed the shutters. Protesting the attitude of bank officials, people began spontaneous protest by sitting on the road. They also blocked the road by parking their two-wheelers.
The blockade led to long traffic jam on Toli Chowki-Sheikpet road in the peak morning hours. Hundreds of people going to work places were stranded. As the road connects to IT clusters of Hitec City and Gachibowli, large number of techies was also stranded. Senior police officials rushed there and were seen requesting the protestors to remove the road blockade.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
