On 14 March 2025, BRS members staged protests at major junctions in Kollapur village (Nagarkurnool, Telangana) against the INC-led state government over the suspension of a BRS MLA and former MP from the Telangana Assembly budget session, for comments against the Speaker, and demanded his reinstatement.

Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, BRS party members held a peaceful protest in Kolappur village, Nagarkunrnool district, Telangana state, India. The protest took place at a major intersection and was due to political conflicts, with limited direct impact on supply chains. The protest is classified as low-grade and peaceful in nature, resulting in a low severity level.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Temporary local traffic disruption: Potential localized traffic delays due to protests at major intersections in Kolappur village
• Need to monitor Telangana state logistics routes: May act as a short-term delay factor for freight transport passing through the area
• Limited impact due to agricultural region characteristics: Nagarkunrnool is not a major industrial hub, so there is no direct impact on core supply chain networks
• One-time nature of political protests: Protests based on specific political issues are unlikely to escalate into ongoing supply chain risks

3) Watch points

• Whether additional protests spread within Telangana state: Track the possibility of similar political protests occurring in other regions
• Protest expansion to major cities like Hyderabad: Monitor whether follow-up protests occur in key economic hub areas of Telangana state
