The Maha Padayatra launched by farmers and residents of 29 villages in the Amaravati region entered Repalle on Sunday, the seventh day of the march.
Addressing the media, leaders of Amaravati Parirakshana Samithi Joint Action Committee (JAC), who are spearheading the rally, said that it was unfortunate that at some places, the local police were trying to obstruct the padayatra.
“Despite the High Court’s directions to the DGP that any number of local residents can meet the farmers and express their solidarity to the padayatra, the police are trying to obstruct them at some places,” alleged JAC leader Siva Reddy.
