Uddanam Farmers want their families to live without anyone's help..!?
Uddanam. This name is mostly familiar. This area is famous for its coconut and cashew plantations. This is what provides the farmers here with this yield. This is also their livelihood. Everyone in Uddanam trusts the land. In addition, they consider these coconut and cashew plantations as their sons. Farmers here want their families to live without anyone's help. That is why, regardless of what the governments are giving them and how they are uplifting them, they are confident that their land will protect them. That is their confidence. This is not a story of today, it has been going on for generations. It has been coming from great-grandfathers and grandfathers. Hundreds of farmers are expressing their grief that the land that used to provide shade to everyone and make them earn their living has now been destroyed.
They used to say that if their lands were lost due to natural disasters, it would be a temporary pain, but now they are disappearing before their eyes, and the entire farmer community is in tears. If you look at what is actually happening, then you will understand that the farmers' story is really a tearful one. After the tdp coalition government came to power, it took a policy decision that every district had an airport. If you look at it this way, it is looking to set up a greenfield cargo airport in Srikakulam. chief minister Chandrababu, who came to srikakulam district on november 1, said the same thing. He announced that an airport would be built to turn the tide of Srikakulam. So far, the farmers of Uddanam are complaining about the acquisition of green fields for the airport. They are looking to acquire 1320 acres of land from here. Hundreds of farmers from twenty villages have to give their lands for the airport. With this, the farmers of Uddanam are spending their days and nights crying, giving up food and water. They thought that they would give their lives in this land and merge in this soil, but they were worried about what to do when the government took their lands. Now, in 2018, Cyclone Titli came and swept away the entire glory of Uddhanam.


 The beautiful coconut groves were gone and a graveyard atmosphere was seen. The farmers were very upset at that time. They were angry that they would see coconut groves and cashew groves again in their lands. After all, their hard work has paid off and those groves are flourishing again after all these years. While the farmers were very happy that they would get a good harvest this year, the news reached them like a thunderbolt. They say that the earth had become cracked when the authorities asked them to give their lands to the airport. They say that they cannot give the lands. They are also saying that Chandrababu came to power only to take their lands. They are expressing anger that they can take the land and build the airport, but they are not going to put a dent in the green fields. They are swearing that they will die but they will not give the lands. They are demanding that even pawan kalyan should intervene. Now, public organizations have also come forward in support of them. Public organizations are questioning whether farmers will be robbed of the airport or will their livelihoods be ruined. On the other hand, the Bhogapuram airport is nearby. It is being built on four thousand acres, so why is the airport in green fields? Left party leaders are questioning. The government has already made a decision. And now, whether the coconut plantations will stand or the tears of the farmers will stop is the topic of discussion everywhere.
