APRS to launch ‘jathas’ from today

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Andhra Pradesh Rythu Sangham will launch week-long protest ‘jathas’ (rallies) in the coastal districts to highlight the impending destruction of coastal areas in the name of coastal corridor. The jathas will commence from Ichapuram in Srikakulam on July 15 and from Tada in Nellore district on July 16. They will conclude with a public meeting at Vijayawada on July 21. The GO.No.34 issued for coastal corridor construction would displace farmers from lakhs of acres of well irrigated farm lands triggering foodgrain crisis in the near future, said Rythu Sangham president K.Ramakrishna and general secretary R.Venkayya in a media conference here on Monday.“The rallies are a prelude to future course of action against indiscriminate land acquisition for coastal industrial corridor that would do irreparable damage to coastal environment, and livelihoods,” they added.
