Capital imbroglio

Vijayawada: A section of farmers in the proposed capital region in Andhra Pradesh have sought the help of veteran Gandhian activist and anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare to thwart the State government’s move to “usurp their fertile lands” in the garb of building capital city.

A large group of farmers from Thulluru and other villages in the proposal capital region on Monday met Anna Hazare in Delhi and participated in the rally organised by him. The rally was aimed against the Union government’s Land Acquisition Ordinance. Meanwhile, the farmers expressed their happiness over the High Court admitting their petition, seeking the intervention of the judiciary against the government’s move to snatch their lands.
