Amaravati: The promised land

The Hindu  

In Thullur in Guntur district of coastal Andhra Pradesh, people still wince when they remember the sound of armed police personnel marching through the narrow lanes of the village about four years ago. The situation was so bad that we had to show our Aadhaar cards to step out of our homes.” A. Rajani, a farmer from Thullur, says, “Not a single day would pass without the police cracking down on farmers who spearheaded the agitation that went on for more than 1,600 days.” The people of Thullur, one of the 29 villages that constitute the capital region of the State, are today hopeful because Naidu has come back to power, but the cases booked against some of them for violating the police curbs have not yet been closed, they say. “The TDP government had invited tenders worth ₹48,000 crore for Phase-I of the capital city project and even made payments amounting to nearly ₹9,000 crore for works that had been completed,” recalls Narayana. The Rajadhani Rythu Parirakshana Samithi, an association of aggrieved farmers from the capital villages, along with other entities challenged the YSRCP government’s decision in court soon after Reddy proposed the idea of three capitals. However, during its hearing of a Special Leave Petition filed by the YSRCP government against the High Court order dated March 3, 2022, the Supreme Court observed that the High Court was “not a town planner or engineer” to say that Amaravati should be developed in a particular time frame.
