IT professionals’ protest at Wipro Circle

Gachibowli, Hyderabad

After the arrest of TDP National President N. Chandrababu Naidu in the Skill Development case, IT professionals gathered at Wipro Circle in Gachibowli to demand his release. The demonstration was mobilised through the party’s professional and IT wing and drew employees from across Hyderabad’s IT corridor, with protesters holding “I Stand With CBN” placards. Police moved in and dispersed the gathering.

Talikota Hari Krishna led the iTDP Telangana mobilisation for the Wipro Circle demonstration, organising the turnout of IT-sector party workers across the corridor.
