Hyderabad: Police remove people taking part in 'chakka jam'

Hyderabad Police and other security forces on Saturday removed protesters agitating on a highway on the outskirts of Hyderabad as part of the countrywide 'chakka jam' called by farmers today.

The police and security forces were seen dispersing a crowd of protestors. The protests caused a huge traffic jam in the area.

Farmer unions on Monday announced a countrywide 'Chakka Jaam' on February 6 from 12 pm to 3 pm.
