Officials of the Intelligence department reportedly failed to alert the police on the expected rush for ‘Chalo Vijayawada’, organised by the PRC Sadhana Samithi, here on Thursday.
Employees of various government departments, led by NGOs and other associations, called for ‘Chalo Vijayawada’ protesting reverse PRC, cancellation of CPS and other demands.
The samiti leaders said that they would take a rally and conduct meeting on BRTS Road with five lakh employees, and applied for police permission. However, police denied permission citing COVID norms and other reasons.
