Farmers from Sundaragiri and nearby villages staged a rasta roko at the Sundaragiri crossroads in Chigurumamidi mandal, Karimnagar district, on Friday, citing repeated unscheduled power cuts that threatened their standing maize and other crops. They demanded a guarantee of continuous electricity to protect their harvests, and the blockade was lifted after mandal-level officials assured them that the grievance would be escalated to higher authorities.
The road blockage disrupted traffic for a period, and the protest was confined to the main thoroughfare at Sundaragiri. On the same day, parallel demonstrations were reported at Paidimadugu village in Korutla mandal of Jagtial district and at Kusumanchi in Khammam district, indicating a broader regional concern over power reliability for agriculture.
Farmers rely heavily on steady electricity for irrigation and post‑harvest processes, and intermittent supply can jeopardise standing crops, especially water‑intensive varieties like maize. The protests underscore growing frustration among the agrarian community over infrastructure shortcomings and may prompt state agencies to review power distribution schedules in the affected districts.
