Munjeru Farmers Vow: "Give Our Lives, Not Our Lands" Against IT Park Acquisition

• Farmers in Munjeru village, Vizianagaram district, protested against the forced acquisition of fertile agricultural land for an IT Park and Data Center.

• Farmers depend on the remaining thousand acres for their livelihood and fear losing it would lead to debt and destitution.
