Farmers Accuse APCRDA of Coercion, Report to ADB and WB

Farmers Accuse APCRDA of Coercion, Report to ADB and WB

Farmers in Amaravati are upset because they believe the government, specifically the APCRDA, is trying to force them off their land.

They filed a complaint with the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank.

The farmers say APCRDA removed fences from their fields and wants them to leave.

When the farmers tried to file a police report, they were told to give up their land instead.

The farmers are asking the banks to investigate APCRDA and protect them from losing their land, livelihoods, and dignity, alleging these actions violate the Banks' policies.
