The TRS leader and his followers, including farmers rained blows with sticks on Forest Range Officer (FRO) C. Anita standing on a tractor.
The incident occurred in Sarsala village in Kagaznagar 'mandal' (block) when a group of Forest Department personnel reached there to make preparations for 'Haritaharam', a plantation programme of the state government.

Even as Anita was explaining that they were following the instructions of the government, she was attacked with sticks.
The Forest Range Officer suffered bleeding injuries before other officers and police could intervened. She was admitted to a hospital.
Police said they wil identify and arrest the attackers.
Krishna Rao is the brother of local TRS MLA K. Konappa. IANS
