By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, OCT. 20. The Communist Party of India(Marxist) State Council Secretary, Mr. B.V. Raghavulu, and 45 party activists were arrested and non-bailable cases were booked against them today when they staged a demonstration near Telugu Talli flyover, demanding solution to the ongoing APSRTC employees' strike.

The CPI(M) MLA, Mr. N. Narsimahaiah, and city leaders - Mr. P. Madhu and Mr. G. Rambabu - were among those arrested. Defying the massive police deployment in front of the Secretariat, about 50 CPI(M) activists staged a demonstration. A scuffle ensued between the police and the demonstrators for a few minutes before the latter were arrested and taken away in the readily kept vans. The CPI(M) two days ago announced that it would lay a siege to the Secretariat urging the Government to solve the strike.
