Farmers protest Pharma City project in Telangana, collector attacked

Farmers in parts of Telangana on Monday, November 11, protested against the proposed pharma city project of the state government.

The Telangana farmers protested under the banner “Go back Pharma” and voiced their opposition, claiming that the development of the city would poison their fertile agricultural lands. When the



district collector and his team arrived to negotiate with the protesters, the crowd’s hostility intensified.

In Vikarabad district, a group of farmers physically assaulted district collector, Prateek Jain and Kodangal development authority officials. The farmers attacked Jain’s vehicle with stones; two other vehicles were also destroyed.
