When Cyclone Titli struck the coasts of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh on October 11, it left a huge disaster in its wake — deaths,
flooding, landslips and more than ₹6,000 crore worth of damages.
For Apparao, an adivasi farmer in Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh where the storm made landfall, it wiped out his entire
crop.
As he marched from Nizamuddin toward Ramlila Maidan on Thursday along with thousands of other farmers in preparation for
