Amaravati farmers to go on hunger strike in absence of plan for capital development

Farmers from the Amaravati region of Andhra Pradesh have called for a hunger strike during the upcoming Assembly session, which begins on December 9.
The move comes in the absence of clear communication regarding the status of capital development from the YSRCP government.
On Friday, Several farmers gathered in Mandadam village near Thullur to announce the protest.
A farmer said, "All construction works have completely stopped for months now. Comments from ministers have caused even more alarm about whether the capital will continue to be built here,"
Farmers in the region had given up more than 30,000 acres of land to the state government, for a portion of the land to be returned to the owner as a developed plot.
