pre-decided progarmme, we are staging Rail Roko in Balangir, Jharsuguda,
Sambalpur and Bargarh railway stations of the ‘Kosalanchal’ area (western
Odisha) demanding a separate Kosal State. We demand formation of a separate
Kosal State under Articles 2&3 of the Constitution of India.”

announced formation of a Telangana State. Unless the Centre gives recognition
to a Kosal State, our agitation will continue. We planned to carry out Rail
Roko throughout the day.”

arrested more than 40 Kosal Kranti Dal activists, including Pramod Mishra and
Dolamani Pradhan from the Rail Roko agitation spot.
