He said that due to the delay in providing justice to the customers, 396 people have lost their lives by committing suicides or unnatural reasons in AP alone. He said that the government had announced to pay the 13.50 lakh depositors of Rs 20,000 and below, with Rs 1150 crores, but introduced conditions to reduce victims.
He demanded the government to announce a schedule to disburse the deposits to all of the victims by July 28.If their demand is not fulfilled, they are ready to conduct a 'Vignapana Yatra' on July 31.
