The farmers alleged that though they have paid DD for installation of transformers on agricultural lands three months ago, the electricity officials are not taking any steps towards installing the transformers. Raising slogans in support of their demands, the farmers said that the Kharif season has started but the work related to new electricity connections is yet to be completed. They said the delay in the process would create problems for them in the current sowing season. The police tried to pacify the agitating farmers but they said they would continue their protest until their demands were met. The farmers’ protest led to a massive traffic jam on the Medak-Kamareddy main road.
