"farmers"

The protest, which sought an unconditional loan waiver, gained momentum following a viral social media post by a young farmer urging collective action from farmers across villages, mandals, and districts. Farmers' unions rallied support, calling on various social groups to join their cause amid growing concerns over rising farmer suicides due to loan pressures.

Though adequate water was not available in irrigation projects in the beginning of the present Vanakalam season, a majority of the farmers sowed paddy anticipating good water supply.

Tension arose during a protest in front of the Dudyala MRO office when Turpu Rajamma, a woman farmer from Polepally village, threatened to take her life if her land was taken away. Holding a bottle of pesticide, she declared, "I will die, but I will not give up my land."
