Earlier, Sunitha Reddy alleged that the government was working against court orders by going ahead with the dump yard. She said that the court had ordered a status quo after the villagers filed a petition, but the GHMC had still decided to build the dump yard in violation of court orders.

The Narsapur MLA accused the police of acting undemocratically by restricting the movement of a legislator. The arrest created tension at the village for a while. Meanwhile, the police has imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 in Pyaranagar and Nallavalli to keep the villagers inside the doors.
