Vijayawada: The JAC of the Amaravati Parirakshana Samiti (APS) is organising Jana Rana Bheri near the Rayapudi speed access road in Amaravati on Thursday to mark the completion of one year of agitation for the continuation of Amaravati as the capital city of Andhra Pradesh.

There has been a stupendous response from people by and large during the last one-week programmes undertaken by the JAC. A large number of people participated in Maha Pada Yatra organised at Guntur and Vijayawada, they recalled and thanked the media for their unstinted support to the agitation all these days.

The conveners exhorted all sections of people including the associations of farmers, traders and others to participate in large numbers in the Jana Rana Bheri in Amaravati on Thursday and make the government understand its thoughtless idea of three capitals.
