In a recent development concerning the land issue in John Peta, the villagers found themselves struggling against the illegal seizure of their lands by the Forest Department. A significant portion of the land, which rightfully belonged to the Dalit community, was reportedly reserved without proper procedures being followed, leading to a prolonged battle for justice.

It was brought to light that the MLA of KAIKALURU, Sri Dulam Nageshwararao, had urged the Gudivada RDO to take note of the situation and address the concerns raised by the villagers. The efforts of the John Peta Youth Association in this ongoing fight have been instrumental in garnering attention and support for their cause, highlighting the injustices faced by the community.
