Home Minister P. Chidambaram announced in New Delhi at about 11.30 pm that 'the process of forming the state of Telangana will be initiated' and that an appropriate resolution would be moved in the state Assembly. The statement asked KCR to end his fast and students to withdraw their agitation, and the Centre asked Chief Minister Rosaiah to withdraw cases filed against students, leaders and others on or after 29 November. KCR broke his fast at NIMS shortly after midnight. The Srikrishna Committee later reported that over 1,600 cases involving more than 8,000 agitators were registered in the state between 29 November 2009 and April 2010, and that the state government withdrew 565 'simple' cases, 440 of them in Telangana.
