The farmers hailing from Amaravati region on July 9 (Sunday) completed 1,300 days of their protests against the proposed shifting of the capital out of Amaravati, amidst the continuing uncertainty on the outcome of the slew of cases pending in courts.
A large number of farmers staged a demonstration at Mandadam village near the State Secretariat in Guntur district, demanding that the government should at least now withdraw its decision to shift the capital to Visakhapatnam ‘on the pretext of decentralisation’.
