Farmers in the Papaya district in the district protest against the lack of rewarding prices for their return since the end of July. 1 August with the collector of the district of Annammayya Sridhar Chamakuri organized a meeting with traders and convinced them that Papaya would buy at least 10 ₹ per kilometers from farmers from 6 August (Wednesday).
However, traders and agents of the commission reportedly did not buy a papaya for the price agreed before the collector.
