Aqua farmers in the Godavari districts have intensified their protests against the ruling coalition government. Frustrated by the increasing financial burden due to newly imposed Service Line Charges (SLC), farmers staged demonstrations in multiple locations, demanding immediate relief.
Government’s Crackdown on Aqua Farmers: A Harsh Blow
The government’s decision to impose SLC charges has pushed thousands of aqua farmers into financial distress. Many argue that these charges are unfair and will severely impact their livelihood. Farmers have accused the government of turning a blind eye to their struggles while burdening them with additional costs.
Protests Erupt Across Multiple Locations
Aqua farmers across the Godavari region took to the streets, demanding the withdrawal of these charges. They claim that instead of supporting the aquaculture industry, which contributes significantly to the state’s economy, the government is crushing their businesses under heavy fees and regulations.
Farmers Call for Immediate Government Intervention
The protesting farmers have warned that if their demands are not met, they will intensify their agitation in the coming days. They are urging the state government to reconsider its policies and provide relief to struggling aqua farmers before the situation worsens.
