Anantapuram, Oct 27, 2012: YSR Congress Party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s sister Sharmila has fever today and curtailed her Maro Praja Prasthanam Padayatra to 6 km from the originally scheduled 13.8 km.

After finding that Sharmila has developed fever, doctors advised her to take rest for the day but she has decided to walk for a distance of 6 km. Meanwhile, Sharmila’s Maro Praja Prasthanam has entered tenth day today.

Sharmila began her today’s Padayatra from Gollapally Cross and will walk through the villages of Garumdam Palle Cross and Vasanthapuram Cross where she will retire for the day. After beginning her Padayatra today, Sharmila inspected some groundnut crop fields at Badangapalle and interacted with farmers.

The farmers told her they used to get input subsidy and the facility of crop insurance during the YSR regime whereas now they are getting neither of them.

As per the original schedule, she is supposed to walk through the villages of Chigicharla, Uppunesinapally Cross and Hansapuram also which will be covered later.

Sharmila completed her walkathon up to 130.9 km at the end of Friday.
