Paddy loaded tractors, which were coming to the Agricultural market of Miryalaguda from Nereducherla, have piled up at Chillapalli bridge and at some of the rice mills. The situation arose due to the farmers taking up harvesting without heeding to the advise of the district administration declaring a two-day crop cutting holiday i.e. Friday and Sunday. The rice millers would purchase the paddy from the farmers, who would furnish the tokens issued to them, according to a police press release.
