The farmers of Navuluru, in their letter to the President, sought his intervention to stall the process of shifting the capital or grant them permission for mercy killing. They recalled that farmers of the region voluntarily gave up their fertile agricultural lands for building the state capital after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014. The existing capital Amaravati, which is only in the basic stages of development could become the “Legislative Capital”, port city Visakhapatnam the “Executive Capital” and Kurnool the “Judiciary Capital”, he had said.
