BRS MLA slams Congress over land issues in Sangareddy

Sangareddy MLA Chintha Prabhakar criticised the Congress government for failing to issue pattas to farmers after acquiring land for HMDA layouts. He also opposed land acquisition in fertile Kondapur villages without proper compensation or prior notice

Sangareddy: MLA Chintha Prabhakar lashed out at the Congress government for denying benefits to farmers whose lands were acquired for land pooling and developing a layout by HMDA in Arutla, Kandi, Paslawadi and Indrakaran villages.

Talking to the farmers in Sangareddy on Friday, the BRS MLA said that the government had promised to give 600 yards of land for each acre after acquiring the assigned lands from farmers in these four villages. Though the layouts were developed by HMDA, Prabhakar said that there was no progress in distributing the pattas of 600 yards to the farmers till now.

The MLA said that the farmers were moving from pillar to post, requesting the officials to issue the land documents. He demanded that the government release all the benefits these farmers are eligible for.

Earlier on Thursday, the Sangareddy MLA also presented a representation to Collector P Praveenya, demanding that the government stop acquiring fertile lands from farmers in Munidevuni Pally, Mandapur, Thogarapalli and Aliyabad villages of Kondapur mandal. He said that the government was taking possession of lands without giving any information to farmers.

Prabhakar said that one acre of land is being sold at Rs 2.5 crore in these villages. He demanded that the government fix an appropriate compensation to the farmers before acquiring lands. Otherwise, the BRS MLA asked them to leave the fertile lands to the farmers since they were cultivating various crops here.
