Responding to the representations, committee members assured the participants that every genuine demand would receive careful consideration.
They said the committee has recorded all submissions and will ensure that no eligible activist faces injustice during the recognition process.
The committee also stated that the consultation process will continue until July 22. Thereafter, it will prepare a comprehensive report based on the discussions held across Telangana. Finally, the committee will submit its recommendations to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for further action.
