Anantagiri ZPTC member D. Ganga Raju and Adivasi Girijana Sangham State general secretary Killo Surendra submitted a representation to Alluri Sitharama Raju District Collector A.S. Dinesh Kumar, seeking an immediate halt to the ongoing survey in Anantagiri, Pedhakota, Chittampadu, and Kujjeli for proposed hydropower projects by Adani Energy and Navayuga Pvt. Ltd. The leaders warned that the projects threaten the rights of tribal communities across 50 villages in 10 panchayats. They also demanded the cancellation of G.O. No. 51, which allows capacity enhancement for the projects. Villagers G. Anand and K. Eswar Rao also joined the delegation.
