The CPI(M) said, “We are continuing the ceasefire for another six months. During April, May, and June, all parties, public organizations, and social groups in Telangana undertook widespread efforts to maintain peace. The state government also responded accordingly. During the previous six months, we implemented our planned measures to help sustain the peaceful atmosphere. Telangana society desires that this environment continue. Therefore, in accordance with the people’s wishes, we are extending the ceasefire for another six months.”
