144 section imposed in the capital
X
Farmers have called for a Bandh of all the 29 villages today. The State Government has imposed Section 144 to prevent the farmers from resorting to protests.


The farmers are demanding that Amaravati should be continued as a Single Capital or their lands should be returned like how they were given to the Government in 2015. Even if the Government decides to give back the lands, most of the lands have now become not suitable for farming.


Today, schools, businesses, government offices and hotels have been shut down in the wake of farmers' calls for bandh in 29 villages in the capital. Farmers held rasta roko and sit-in protests condemning the idea.
