Khammam: Representative of various Social and people's organisations here on Thursday demanded that Supreme Court restore the status quo ante with regard to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The representatives staged a silent protest and later paid tributes to Dr B R Ambedkar at ZP centre here.

The Kerala government had already filed review petition in the court. He demanded that the TRS government, too, follow suit.
