Telangana Congress chief A. Revanth Reddy was stopped by the Hyderabad police on his way to the state Secretariat to meet Special Chief Secretary Municipal Administration Arvind Kumar. Revanth had planned to discuss the issue of leasing the Outer Ring Road (ORR) to a private party for 30 years. Police said he was stopped as he had not taken permission to meet officials, but Revanth argued that there is no need for an appointment to go to the Secretariat. Revanth Reddy questioned the reason for being stopped by the police while attempting to visit the Secretariat in Hyderabad without prior permission. Meanwhile, police have tightened security at the Secretariat by setting up barricades at the entrance following its inauguration on Sunday.
