Gadar appealed to the Collectors to provide information, under the Right to Information Act, about the release of funds for welfare activities for the past 10 years particularly for SC/ST/BC; amount spent on various activities and details of land leases, allotment to private firms in Hyderabad and their usage.

Leaders from various walks of life also participated in the dharna expressing solidarity to Gadar.
