Rao and Javadekar also discussed about the afforestation initiatives in the newly-carved out state, sources said. Earlier today, three journalists, who attempted to stage a protest outside the house, where Rao was staying, were evicted and taken to the Tughlak Road Police Station.

They were released after some time, police said. It may be recalled that protesting against black-out of two Telugu channels in Telangana, journalists belonging to Telugu language media houses yesterday staged a protest in front of the house.
