Lambada farmers of the Aakuthotabaavi thanda in Bhuvanagiri mandal made a sit-in protest at the Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district collectorate on Wednesday, May 15, to plead with the district collector to come to their rescue by procuring their paddy produce which got wet due to unseasonal rains this
week.
They wanted to enter the collectorate to speak with the collector.
As the police personnel stopped them at the gate, the farmers fell at their feet, requesting them to bring the issue of their paddy produce lying soaked in rainwater to the paddy procurement centre (PPC).
