District collector, other officials attacked in Telangana over land acquisition

Since Dudyala comes under chief minister A Revanth Reddy's constituency Kodangal, the incident caused a major embarrassment to the Congress government. A large police force was deployed in the area to bring the situation under control. However, the BRS blamed the chief minister for the attack, criticizing him for cancelling the pharma city project for which the land was already available and instead going for pharma clusters for which land is being acquired in new areas.
