A tense situation arose after the SLBC tunnel accident when officials refused to allow BRS leaders to inspect the site. In response, former minister Harish Rao staged a sit-in protest in front of the SLBC office, demanding permission to assess the conditions personally.
Harish Rao was joined by Alampur MLA Vijayaudu, along with other BRS leaders, former ministers, and MLAs. They expressed their dissatisfaction with the restrictions placed on them and criticized the authorities for blocking their visit. The leaders demanded transparency regarding the situation at the accident site.
The SLBC tunnel is an important irrigation project and has been under scrutiny due to safety concerns after the recent accident. The protest by BRS leaders has increased political tensions, with opposition parties accusing the government of withholding information.
