In Andhra Pradesh, the State Police has refused permission for the farmers Mahapadayatra from Amaravati to Arasavalli from the 12th of September.

Mr. Rajendranath Reddy, the Director General of Police (DGP) issued an order denying permission on the grounds that it would disturb peace and harmony in the Telugu State.  In addition, a copy of the order was sent to Gadde Tirupati Rao, the General Secretary of the Amaravati Conservation Society, after midnight of the 8th of September.

Citing the reason behind the denial of the Mahapadayatra is due to the fact that the farmers violated the rules and regulations imposed and attacked the State government employees doing their duties in the padayatra held in 2021.

In addition, the Andhra Pradesh DGP said 71 criminal cases have been registered in various districts where the march took place and stated that permission is being denied as per the instructions of the police officers of the respective districts. 

The DGP said, “There is a possibility of disruption of law and order during the Mahapadayatra.”  He further said, “Due to the prevailing political situation in Konaseema and Srikakulam districts, permission for the Mahapadayatra is being denied keeping in view of public interests.”

 Meanwhile, a hearing was held in the High Court on Thursday regarding the permission for the farmers’ Mahapadayatra.  The Andhra Pradesh High Court ordered the government to take a decision by evening of the 8th of September.  However, by Thursday night, the State Police sent a letter to this effect denying permission.
