Things are not going well for the Amaravati farmers. A few days back, a tense situation aroused when the farmers were reportedly attacked. The other day, the Andhra Pradesh High Court gave some key directives and said that only 600 people should participate in the yatra and they should show their ID cards.

Now it is said that the farmers decided to take a break from doing the yatra and the yatra would resume after the court holidays would be finished. It is known that the Diwali season is going on and the court is on vacation. Even if the farmers want to move the court the petition would be heard after the holidays. Following this, the farmers are believed to have decided to halt the yatra.

Earlier today, the cops reportedly reached the place where the farmers are staying and asked them to show their IDs. The farmers asked the cops what made them ask for the IDs. Citing the recent court orders on the cap on the farmers' count and their IDs, the cops asked them to show their IDs.

This led to a tense situation and triggered an argument. As a bid to Resent the police, the farmers sat for a protest and decided to halt the yatra for a few days. The JAC leaders alleged that cops are trying to create obstacles for the yatra.

Upon reaching Ramachandrapuram in Dr. Br Ambedkar District, the farmers were reportedly stopped and asked to show their IDs citing the court orders. It is said that Ramachandrapuram DSP Balachandra Reddy and a few other cops met the farmers and asked for the IDs.

Not happy with the police action, the farmers reportedly decided to take a break and move the high court seeking directives for no restrictions during the yatra. As the courts cannot hear the petition now, the JAC took the call t halt the yatra.

Before deciding to halt the yatra, a ruckus reportedly erupted at Ramachandrapuram when the cops and the farmers had an argument. Tense scenes erupted before entering Ramachandrapuram. Even after entering the place, the cops reportedly imposed a few restrictions.
