Following a promise given by the local police that their demands would be looked into, the five women including Alivelu, called off the stir after four hours.

Even though, the State government made it clear that it would not entertain any fresh requests either for creation of new districts and mandals or for altering the contours of the revenue divisions and mandals, protests have intensified. Protests have been continued in Narayanpet of Mahbubnagar district and Mulugu of Prof Jayashankar district.
