Khammam: Shahhazadi, a member of the National Minority Commission, expressed anger towards Khammam District Collector VP Gautam and Police Commissioner Vishnu S. Warrior for their absence during a review meeting for the welfare of minorities at the Collectorate on Thursday. In her statement, she said that minorities should not be treated disrespectfully. The Additional Collector was advised to call the Collector, as they feared the meeting would not take place until his arrival. It remains to be seen how the Collector will respond. Shahhazadi plans to file a complaint against the Collector and CP with the Union Home Department. Upon hearing about the incident, Muslim women's groups burned an effigy of the Collector at the ZP Center to protest against the disrespect shown to the member of the National Minority Commission. Meanwhile, employees of the Collectorate protested by wearing black badges during lunchtime in solidarity with the Collector and CP.
