The Andhra Pradesh High Court has given important directions on Amaravati Farmers Maha Padayatra after hearing the petition filed by the farmers alleging that the padayatra is being obstructed.
On the 21st of October, Friday, the High Court ordered that only 600 people should participate in this yatra and directed that all those who support the padayatra should stand on both sides of the road and show their support. The High Court has issued orders that supporters should not walk together in the padayatra and said it was the responsibility of the police to ensure that the supporters did not walk together in the padayatra.
The police have been ordered to see that the march is peaceful. The court said it hear the interim petition filed by the government to cancel the permission for the padayatra, the petitions filed against MLAs and ministers on provocative statements.
The court after considering the arguments of both the sides and the details submitted by them gave the verdict. In the past, it has been suggested that only those vehicles allowed to participate in the padayatra should be allowed. The High Court now ordered that only four vehicles should be used for the padayatra.
Joined by the people of Amaravati, the Amaravati Maha Padayatra was organised by the Amaravati Conservation Committee and the Capital United Action Committee. The padayatra started as a move against the ruling Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) Government, which proposed three state capitals, instead of Amaravati.
The Amaravati capital issue is a problem for the farmers of 28 villages who sacrificed their lands. In 2014, after Andhra Pradesh and Telangana emerged as two independent states, villagers and farmers of Amaravati gave up their lands to the then ruling Government, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP,) for the development of Amaravati as the Andhra Pradesh Capital.
However, in December 2019, the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP,) the government now in power, proposed three capitals (Visakhapatnam, Amaravati and Kurnool) for Andhra Pradesh.
